I always strive to leave a review that covers most areas of an experience and this is no exception. We were traveling 4 people, 2 adults and 2 children, in Harz. After a week in beautiful surroundings, see my review of this by following me, we decided to take an extra stop in Hannover. Because we didn´t wanted to drive for 7 hours straigth from our holiday home to Denmark with 2 tired children, and because we never visited Hannover. At first we had booked a hotel in the outskirts of the city, higher price, but a long trip to the center of the city, so we switched to Zentrum Hotel. We arrived early, so our rooms were not ready yet. However, we had reserved a parking spot for the car, so after a few minutes we could explore the city. Which is literally right across the street. From the location of the hotel, is several streets leading to the main pedestrian area, packed with great shops, affordable prices, street buskers and much more. We enjoyed the city for a few hours then went to freshen up at our rooms. We decided to split up, so my wife and daughter had one room, while my son and I had the other, The rooms were 405 and 406. Right at the top of the building, they were hot. Windows can open, but on a hot day, the room is too stuffed. There were 2 ordinary beds, super clean, very comfortable actually, a table, a chair and a wardrobe. There was also a fridge, but it was not clean. It was time to buy a new one. Shower head was broken, so half the water spilled out from the hose and onto the floor until we managed to direct the water at a different angle, so not to soak the floor. Held together with duct tape. A hose costs ~€3 so it´s a cheap and easy fix, guys. The hair dryer at the ladies´room, was broken, meaning it is one of those where you simply press the handle and it blows. However, the handle turned red and heated up, TOO MUCH, too quick and after a few second, my wife had to toss it in the sink. It is a disaster waiting to happen. The lift only worked up to 3rd floor, then we had to walk a flight of stairs to the 4th. Weird issue, fix the lift. Breakfast was €9 and was really good. Yes we would like to know exactly what the 4 different cheeses were, a simple sign would help, but plentiful breakfast. Hot coffee and tea, milk, cream, 3 juices, bread, croissants, hardboiled eggs, cold cuts, nutella, 5 different marmelades and so on. Good, cheap. Rooms were super quiet. Check-out was easy, staff is super friendly and the rooms are cheap. Drawbacks are the weird smell on the hallways, the flickering lights, the grime on the doorframes and lightswitches, the fridge, the water hose. The area can seem dodgy, there are beggars around but they are not a worry. We paid €160 for 2 rooms. Reasonable if the above items were fixed.
