Top 10 Al Mare Hotels

The location is near King Street, opposite the Galleria Department Store, convenient for eating and shopping! The room is huge! awesome! Good facilities

We stayed in a junior suite this past weekend. I have always felt safe here in the past. Not this time! On Sunday, the supposed head of housekeeping entered our room twice claiming to be checking for housekeeping. The first time with a light knock at 9 am. I explained we would be checking out at 11 or 12. We placed a do not disturb(DND) sign on the door and went to breakfast. Upon re-entering the room, the DND was on the floor and the door closed. And there stood the same man trying to quickly enter the bathroom! At first he appeared hostile, then tried to fob it all off since the DND was on the floor. One quick look would show my daughter's carry on located on the floor right next to the door! My husband's rain jacket hung in clear sightc from the door! I found my tote was zippered in the wrong direction! We checked all our possession and the safe - it appeared all was there. If someone needs to be in your room, the door should always be OPEN! SINCE I ENTERED THE ROOM BY MYSELF, THIS INCIDENT TRIGGERED PAST CONFRONTATIONAL ISSUES!!!!! I reported the incident to the staff without my trigger issue. Was profusely apologized to. I was told this would be reported to the management who should be in touch but the only recourse is a damn survey?!?

The room was really big and it was very comfortable. The young lady at the front desk was so nice and very nice. She took me to find the room and then explained to me how to use the things in the room. I forgot to bring the charger when I went out this time, and I asked the lady at the front desk to borrow it. The surrounding scenery is beautiful, right next to a cathedral, every hour on the hour will ring the bell, accompanied by the bell in the evening, really enjoy it. It is also very close to the University of Hannover and the dsh test center, which can be reached within a 5-minute walk. Although the room was showered on 5th Street, I couldn't hear any traffic. A great experience.

Exterior appearance is dated. Only when I was in room noticed I had been “charged” an EXTRA 50€ per night on the credit card which they described to me as being on an EU initiative. I do not like this practice happening WITHOUT MY CONSENT and that it was not even explained to me at Check in. Had to go downstairs to get TV remote replaced only to go back down later that night because that one was not working either. (btw remote in Hamburg was individually wrapped – here it came with a small pack of hygienic wraps – so much for Covid cleaning). Duty Receptionist/Manager came up and made me feel inferior because it worked for her. Then there is the safe that works when it wants to. I didn’t bother mentioning that for fear of being told off again. Internet – only allowed two of my three devices and it had to be reconfigured every day of my stay. Staying in the Hamburg Courtyard I had none of these problems. Good large room with my lake view being excellent (despite the torn mosquito netting on the opening window). (I fully appreciate requests cannot always be met but the hotel was not full and they consider 3rd of 5 floors as high). Furniture and carpeting very dated. The electric switches had a mind of their own. Excellent bathroom very hot water, good towels. Bed very comfortable with very good assortment of pillows. Easy chair and table NOT good for working on (unlike Hamburg). Clearly resting on its laurels with proximity of Arena next door and the lakeside location. Personally I would not recommend this hotel purely on the basis that it seems to be living in the past. It needs a lot of care and money spending on it. Apparently this is a “franchise” hotel – it creates a bad impression of what Courtyard can do (see my Hamburg review).

We stayed at the NH Hannover for two nights. Our room was lovely, very clean and the bed was massive and comfortable. Excellent blackout curtains so we managed a bit of a lie in. The shower was great and the toiletries were also decent quality. There are some really good restaurants in the area - we recommend Cheers for schnitzel and Platoria for top Greek food
