The Property — Kleefelder Hof
Kleefelder Hof is a no-nonsense three-star hotel in the quiet residential district of Kleefeld, with a functional lobby that smells faintly of floor polish and fresh coffee. The rooms are clean and basic—think beige curtains, firm single beds, and a shower that takes a moment to get hot. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a dependable base for the trade fair or a city break and don't care about frills. The vibe is ‘efficient and honest’, not charming.
Chronicles of Hannover
Hannover grew from a medieval market settlement on the River Leine into the royal seat of the House of Hanover, whose electors became British kings in 1714. The city was rebuilt pragmatically after WWII bombing, leaving a grid of mid-century concrete alongside reconstructed landmarks like the Marktkirche and the Herrenhausen Gardens. Its contemporary identity is shaped by huge trade fairs (CeBIT, Hannover Messe), a strong tech and insurance sector, and a green belt of lakes and parks. Culturally, it’s unshowy but solid—good museums, a lively indie music scene, and the Maschsee lake as a social hub.
Best Time to Visit
Full Hannover guide →Best months
May and September offer mild temperatures (15–22°C), long daylight, and minimal trade-fair crowds; June also works but can spike with occasional heat.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months for leisure travel and the Schützenfest (world’s largest marksmen’s festival, July 2026). Hotel prices can rise 30–50% above shoulder levels. The weekend of 3–5 July also hosts the Maschsee Festival, drawing thousands for music and food stalls.
Budget shoulder season
March–April and October are the true shoulder months: lower prices, fewer visitors, and still decent walking weather (8–15°C), though expect rain.
Weather & packing
Hannover’s climate is famously fickle—a sunny morning can turn to drizzle by lunch. Pack a windproof rain jacket and comfortable waterproof shoes; a light fleece or sweater is useful even in July for evenings.
Live City Briefing — Hannover
- The main railway station (Hauptbahnhof) is undergoing platform repairs until late 2026; some regional trains may terminate early or divert. Check Deutsche Bahn for your route.
- The Sprengel Museum reopens its expanded modern-art wing in June 2026 after two years of renovation, adding a new café with a terrace overlooking the Maschsee.
- Several U-Bahn line 3 stops in Kleefeld are closed until September for track upgrades; replacement buses run, but allow extra travel time from Kleefelder Hof to the city centre.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Kleefelder Hof, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd floor (Europe's 1st) facing the inner courtyard. These rooms have less street noise from Kleestraße and the floor is high enough to avoid ground-level footfall. The 2nd floor is the topmost residential floor in this low-rise building, giving a solid buffer from both street and any external activity.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (room numbers likely starting with 0 or 1) – they back onto Kleestraße and get direct traffic noise, plus the sound from the small lobby and any late-returning guests. Also avoid rooms ending in 04 or 05 if they face the lift shaft (common in Hanovian three-star hotels without a dedicated service lift).
Best views
Rooms on the 2nd floor facing the inner courtyard offer a quiet outlook onto the neighbouring gardens and backyards typical of this part of Hannover. Street-side rooms give a view of Kleestraße with parked cars and the occasional tram rumble from nearby Hans-Böckler-Allee.
Quietest floors
1st and 2nd floors (European counting: 2nd floor = top floor in a typical 3-storey building like this one). These are above the lobby and any street-level commercial units that might operate on Kleestraße.
🔊 Noise notes
Kleestraße is a mixed residential-commercial street in the Groß-Buchholz district, about 1 km from the city centre. It carries local traffic during the day but quiets down after 9 PM. The hotel's proximity to a small park (Stadtpark Ost) means occasional leaf blowers in autumn. No reported nearby construction as of summer 2024.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, the hotel has free on-street parking on Kleestraße – arrive before 4 PM to grab a spot, as the area is mostly residential and spaces fill up by evening. 2. Check-in at this 3-star usually means a small lobby with a self-service coffee corner – ask at the front desk for a courtyard-facing room specifically, as they're not always assigned by default.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 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.
