Chronicles of Hannover
Hannover was founded in 1163 and has a rich history, with its architectural evolution reflecting the city's growth as a major trade hub. The city's old town, Altstadt, features many timber-framed buildings, while the 18th-century Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen are a notable example of Baroque landscape design. In the 20th century, Hannover underwent significant reconstruction after World War II, resulting in a mix of modern and historic buildings. Today, Hannover is a thriving cultural centre, hosting various festivals, including the Schützenfest, one of the largest marksmen's festivals in the world. The city's contemporary identity is shaped by its strong economy, cultural institutions, and environmental initiatives.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Aden, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (3rd floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel has a lift that serves all floors. The top floor is likely to be less affected by noise from the street, which is Büttnerstraße, a relatively busy commercial street in the Mitte district of Hannover. This location is still within walking distance to the city center, but the extra floor elevation may help reduce street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, especially if you're a light sleeper. The hotel doesn't have any stairs-only sections, so the lift is likely to be in use throughout the day and night.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Büttnerstraße doesn't offer any exceptional views, as the street is lined with buildings. However, if you're on the top floor, you may get a glimpse of the surrounding rooftops.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
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 Airport (HAJ) → Hotel in Herrenhausen
💡 Pre-book with Taxi Hannover (0511 33880) for a fixed rate. Otherwise, meters add €5-10 in traffic. Ask for a receipt if claiming expenses.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) → Mercure Hotel am Entenfang, Badenstedter Str. 17
💡 Book through a local taxi app like mytaxi or Uber to avoid airport surcharges. For a fixed price, ask the airport taxi desk for a pre-paid fare.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) → Hotel in Herrenhausen
💡 Buy a single ticket from the DB machine outside the airport exit. S5 runs to Hannover Hauptbahnhof, then switch to Tram 4 heading to Garbsen. Get off at 'Herrenhäuser Gärten' stop—3-min walk to hotels near the gardens.
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.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) → Novotel Hannover
💡 Use the 'Hannover Taxi' app or book a fixed-price 'Airport Transfer' online to avoid surge charges during events like CeBIT.
Hannover Airport → Hotel Römerkrug (Lüneburger Str. 25, 30161 Hannover)
💡 Almex or Hallo Taxi apps work well. If traffic is heavy on the A2, the driver might take side roads—expect closer to 25 mins.
