Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is officially classified according to Hotelstars Union standards.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Top location directly on the Maschsee, within walking distance are in good 15 minutes various restaurants.
Directly next to the hotel is a larger construction site, unfortunately this is still not stored in Google Maps and the access to the hotel becomes a bit more difficult. The construction site itself did not really bother me with my 2 powers.
Reception and staff were very friendly, free parking just under 100 m away at Hannover 96 football stadium, otherwise for a fee directly opposite the hotel outside.
Nicely furnished rooms, good beds, large bathroom, breakfast buffet very good.
Conclusion: unqualified Recommendation!

Unfortunately, we were not informed in advance that if you enter the hotel address you end up in a construction site area. We had to call the hotel to find out how to get to the hotel. We had booked through Bookings.com and were given a room downstairs with a view to the back. On the website we saw that we could have had a room with a lake view for half the price. It was our bad luck not to have cancelled the original room the evening before and rebooked the better one. Sitting on the terrace with a view of the lake in the sunshine is wonderful. The room was spacious and clean. Large bathroom. The bar in the evening was a flop. Soulless and sober. No atmosphere. Not a place to stay. The young waiter, however, was friendly and helpful. When checking out, the two receptionists chatted calmly to each other before one of them turned to us. Overall, not a stay that will be remembered.

I recently had a comfortable stay at Courtyard by Marriott Hannover Maschsee. The room was not only spacious and offered a captivating view of Maschsee. The friendly staff contributed significantly to the overall positive atmosphere, always ready to assist and make the stay comfortable.
One of the key advantages of this hotel is its strategic location. It's conveniently close to both tourist attractions and the city center, making it an ideal choice for those looking to explore Hannover. The accessibility to nearby points of interest added immense value to my trip.

Exterior appearance is dated. Only when I was in room noticed I had been “charged” an EXTRA 50€ per night on the credit card which they described to me as being on an EU initiative. I do not like this practice happening WITHOUT MY CONSENT and that it was not even explained to me at Check in. Had to go downstairs to get TV remote replaced only to go back down later that night because that one was not working either. (btw remote in Hamburg was individually wrapped – here it came with a small pack of hygienic wraps – so much for Covid cleaning). Duty Receptionist/Manager came up and made me feel inferior because it worked for her. Then there is the safe that works when it wants to. I didn’t bother mentioning that for fear of being told off again. Internet – only allowed two of my three devices and it had to be reconfigured every day of my stay. Staying in the Hamburg Courtyard I had none of these problems. Good large room with my lake view being excellent (despite the torn mosquito netting on the opening window). (I fully appreciate requests cannot always be met but the hotel was not full and they consider 3rd of 5 floors as high). Furniture and carpeting very dated. The electric switches had a mind of their own. Excellent bathroom very hot water, good towels. Bed very comfortable with very good assortment of pillows. Easy chair and table NOT good for working on (unlike Hamburg). Clearly resting on its laurels with proximity of Arena next door and the lakeside location. Personally I would not recommend this hotel purely on the basis that it seems to be living in the past. It needs a lot of care and money spending on it. Apparently this is a “franchise” hotel – it creates a bad impression of what Courtyard can do (see my Hamburg review).

Dear Eric B, thank you very much for your stay with us and also for your time to share your exceriences here. We are sorry that your stay with us does not meet your expectations. Within the check-in communication we inform our guests about the credit card process. For security reasons we do reserve the amount of the stay as well as EUR 50,- for additional expenses. This reservation is not a charge to the credit card. About the way your technical issues had been handled we need to apologize as this does not meet our standards and we will discuss this within our team. As you mentioned our great colleagues in Hamburg - which are also franchisees - we are sorry that for you we cannot compete. In the fairness to other traverllers reading this review we need to mention that our property was build and opened in 2000 as Hamburg opened in 2019. Of course we had several renovations during the years and we will also refurbish during the next year but the building of course is a little different. Thank you again for your opinion and we are looking forward welcoming you again if you're in Hannover for future travel. Best regards from Lake Maschsee your COURTYARD by Marriott Hannover Maschsee Nils Liebau Director of Sales

The hotel would have received four stars if we had escaped the first night where a noise kept us awake on and off all night. The morning after we asked to change rooms, which we got, but only a few words of encouragement, new room but nothing about compensation. Do you really have to ask for it at a Marriot Hotel..?
Otherwise the hotel was quite ok. Not brand new, but nice location by the Maarsee and about one kilometer to the city. Parking at/near the hotel and clean and tidy. Missing that little extra, but absolutely ok with relatively large rooms (Deluxe).

The Courtyard am Maschsee is a super hotel. I was there for a few days on business trip.
The check in was easy and fast. The staff there was friendly and could help me with my questions.
The room itself was also very nice. I had a view of the lake. The room was great and modern and had everything you need. It was also tidy and clean. Housekeeping also came every day.
The breakfast was very tasty. For a breakfast in corona times this was siper implemented. Service at the table and a super buffet speak for themselves here. The service there was also very friendly.
The room service was also totally fine and the food there delicious. (See restaurant report).
The location of the hotel is of course outstanding. Very beautifully located on the lake. You can go for a walk and is also quickly in the city center.
This is a great place to stay. From a price point of view, we are here in the middle level.

Lovely hotel in a great position and I would totally recommend it. Very comfortable, spacious rooms with a first class bathroom. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed a very nice and substantial varied breakfast. So if you are looking for a hotel close to the lake and a nice walk to town then this has to be the one.

Beautiful hotel, good facilities. View over the lake and near the center. Clean and friendly staff, it is a pity that WWII destroyed so much of the city center, one day is enough to explore the city.

This hotel has undergone a complete renovation and is now a high quality Courtyard location. Rooms are nice and have all usual amenities: minibar, wireless internet, good workspace and nice views. Property is located next to the stadium which will host World Cup site in 2006 and within a larger city park, great for walks and jogs. Workout space is good, too. Restaurant's quality is marginal.
Only downside to this site is location is not very convenient to main train station or center city -- 10 minute walk. Taxis are available curbside outside of the hotel.
I stay here at least once a year for business and the service and staff are very good.

This is a very pleasant hotel, situated on the border of a lake. There is enough parking place (with a fee) on the other side of the road and a few (free) parking spots in front of the hotel. The city center is just a 10-15 minute walk.
We visited Hannover because their Opera house performed an opera we wanted to see. So, my husband and I stayed there for two nights in July 2006 and booked direct with Marriott a weekend arrangement. For 122 euro p.n. we had a luxury room with lake side view, free parking, breakfast and 4-course diner for two.
The room is very comfortable, an excellent bed, airco, fridge, good quality furniture, nice seating, many lighting ornaments, iron set and a very clean bathroom with many soft towels.
On each floor you have ice machines (very uncommon in Europe). There are no coffee/thee makers in the room, but in the lobby you can take free coffee or thee. Over there you can also buy drinks and food (sandwiches, salads etc.) to take to your room.
The restaurant had a terrace also, which was very nice because the weather was sunny and warm when we were there. The diner we had was fine, nothing spectacular, but just good. The breakfast was excellent; an enormous variety in all kinds of food. They even had healthy yoghurt drinks!
All the employees are friendly and make you feel welcome. Most of them speak English as well. In every aspect it was a very enjoyable stay.
