In the room, furniture and decor not to my taste - ghastly depressing dark wood furniture, 1980s IKEA curtains, and glow-worm-rating energy-saving, eyesight-ruining light bulbs. Minibar - empty. I stayed for a week during Hannover Messe, which means room rates are at least double the norm. (Literally - all the Hanover hotels do the same thing.) I paid nearly 300 GBP per night for room, breakfast (good buffet with omelette station) and internet access. For that money, I expect "toiletries" to consist of slightly more than one tiny bar of soap. (And one of those nasty bottles of shower gel, fixed to the bathroom wall.) Comfortable bed. Choice of pillows - first time I've ever taken up that offer, as the standard ones were too "fat."
Good location, in that one S-Bahn train from the airport takes you directly to the Messe station in under 30 mins, and the hotel is a brisk five-minute walk from the airport and station. (Forget the shuttle bus unless you're with luggage.)
Steaks in the restaurant are among the finest I've ever had, anywhere - and good value (for a hotel.) BUT - one night a colleague and I were told there would be no table for an hour. We settled for a bar snack. It took 55 minutes to arrive. Complaint to dismal maitre d' was answered with a disinterested shrug. Not good enough.
Other than that, staff were efficient and courteous, esp. multi-lingual reception people. Pool small but warm and a welcome touch. Next time, I'll try the Maritim - looks rather good and possibly worth the extra.
