Grand Hotel Mussmann - Hannover, Germany 

Wir haben eine Nacht im Hotel Mussmann verbracht und waren sehr zufrieden. Das Ambiente ist hervorragend, die Zimmer luxuriös und komfortabel (und renoviert). Lage unschlagbar (direkt am Bahnhof). Zimmer aber ruhig (Doppel-Verglasung). Minibar (faire Preise). Sehr leckeres Frühstück (großartige Vielfalt). Tageszeitungen. Rund - um - die - Uhr kann man dort einchecken!!!! Wir würden immer wieder dort übernachten.

Hotel Mussmann is fine! For a low cost stay bang smack in the middle of Hannover it is good value for money. However don't be fooled by the title - Grand it is not! The staircases may be sweeping with interesting artefacts on the landings, but the rooms are brown 1970's style and a bit dingy. Most rooms don't have a bath. The beds are interesting in that they have a high wooden frames a bit like a box and convert to seating areas in twin roooms. The rooms overlooking Ernst August Platz (opposite the main station in the main square) are the best. Others open onto a central courtyard which is quite narrow and not the best place for privacy. Breakfast is buffet type and quite good. However at busy times it can be difficult to get a seat and the waitresses are quite busy. Check in staff are very friendly and helpful. As I have said in other reviews dont miss Ernst August Brauhaus for a night of excellent food, dancing and home brewed beer (which has amazing no hangover properties). The Market Hall for a dazzling display of multi national food and Standige Veratung for absolutely outstanding food in an unusual building (in the big glass bank which looks like a child designed it). Hannover is very under rated - sit by the lake and watch the world go by, wander in a baroque garden, take a trip up to the top of the Rathaus. THere are also trips out to half timbered towns like Celle and Hamlyn.
