Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Schwarzer Bär, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) to minimize potential street noise from Falkenstraße, which can be busy with traffic and pedestrians. Additionally, rooms on the north side of the hotel may receive less direct sunlight, which could be beneficial during peak summer months.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd) due to potential street noise and the possibility of elevator noise from the service entrance, which is likely located on the ground floor.
Best views
Since the hotel is located on Falkenstraße, rooms on the north side (facing the street) will have a view of the city, while rooms on the south side will have a view of the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-6 are likely to be the quietest, as they are not directly adjacent to the street and are higher up, reducing the likelihood of elevator noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Falkenstraße is a busy street with moderate traffic and pedestrian activity, which may generate noise in lower-floor rooms. The hotel's proximity to the city center means there may be occasional noise from nearby bars or restaurants.
Insider tips
If you're driving, the nearest public parking lot is about a 5-minute walk from the hotel, and there's a small parking lot available on-site for a fee. Consider requesting a room with a view of the parking lot for easier access. The hotel's breakfast buffet is a highlight, with a wide selection of German and international options. Be sure to request a room near the elevator to minimize walking distance to the breakfast area.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Umher zu kommen
Find train tickets →Hannover Hauptbahnhof (city centre) → Hotel in Herrenhausen
💡 No direct tram from airport. This is a local option if you're already in the city. Tram 9 runs along Herrenhäuser Straße—get off at 'Herrenhäuser Gärten' stop. Buy a single day pass for €5.40 and ride all trams/buses until midnight.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) train station → Mercure Hotel am Entenfang
💡 Buy a 24-hour ticket for 6.40 EUR if you plan to take a return trip or use local transit later. The S5 is faster than the bus and drops you at Hauptbahnhof, then tram 9 runs directly to Entenfang stop (2 min walk to hotel).
Hannover Airport (HAJ) bus stop → Mercure Hotel am Entenfang
💡 This is the more scenic but less frequent option. Bus 400 stops at Entenfang directly on some runs—check timetable for 'Entenfang' stop. Otherwise, alight at 'Empelde' and walk 10 mins through parkland to the hotel.
Hannover Hauptbahnhof (central station) → Mercure Hotel am Entenfang
💡 Best option if you're already in the city centre. Buy a 'Kurzstrecke' short-trip ticket (1.70 EUR) if you're only going one or two stops from Hauptbahnhof, but for Entenfang you need a full single. Avoid rush hour (7-9am, 4-6pm) as trams get packed.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) → Hotel in Herrenhausen
💡 Bus 400 departs from outside Terminal C, not the main station. It ends at 'Kröpcke'—a busy junction. From there, take Tram 4 north. Ideal if you want to avoid the main train station crowd.

Hannover Hauptbahnhof → Novotel Hannover (Königsworther Platz stop)
💡 Get a day ticket for €6.20—covers unlimited rides on trams and buses, and you can hop on line 10 or 17 as well if your next stop is a different part of town.
Hannover Hauptbahnhof → Novotel Hannover (Königsworther Platz stop)
💡 This bus runs along Lister Meile, so it's good if you want to grab a bite or a coffee before heading to the hotel—the stop's right outside REWE supermarket.
