Hannover Travel Forum

Hello, I will be attending CeBIT Hannover on 17-21 of March 2007 and I need a cheap accommodation. I am going with 3 friends more, but we need to find something ASAP. We don't need much, just a couple beds and access to a bathroom. Can somebody help us? Do you think we can get a room for 2 people for $25 Euros/ night in order to expend $50 for all of us per night?

Thanks in advance.

I think you should look at Youth Hostels as a hotel at that price would be fairly dodgy. If nothing available in Hannover look at nearby towns as the trains over there are frequent.

You can try the youth hostels, but even there expect to pay about 25 Euro a person, not a room.

If they still have rooms available, book straight away, as rooms go very fast during the CEBIT. I know of people who stayed in Frankfurt and commuted each day.

this might be a alternative:

make your booking a.s.a.p. because the CEBIT is a major event and it will be very hard to find something

This is a list to booking services and agencies:

In case you really get desperate and do not mind using trains & trams for 90 minutes, try finding accommodation in Verden/Aller. Verden is a very nice county seat town about 60 miles/100 km NORTH of Hannover. It has hourly train connection to Hannover Central, from where you will need another 30 minute tram ride to the exhibition grounds. Just did a hotel search for Verden and found prices there appear to be rather normal at that time.

Send an email to the tourist information:

touristik@verden.de -- they will definitely speak English --

telling them what you need and how much you'd like to pay, don't forget to tell them you need a place not too far away from the railway station. And do reserve some time for strolling through Verdens's wonderful historic town centre too, it is a hidden gem!

Thank you so much for your email.
We are trying to get 2 rooms (with double bed each one) for 4 people.
Our budget is $45-50 Euros / per room / per night.
Do you think its possible anywhere? Do you have a link to send us?
Thank you again for your help!!

Check all the links you have been given as soon as possible.
45$ would be about 30 Euro, so you're looking for a room for 15 to 25 Euro a person. Not completely impossible, but very hard to find, especially during the CEBIT.
