limehome Hannover Bleichenstraße

Centrally located house which was fully converted into serviced apartments. My room was rather small, had a kitchenette and a bathroom. It was well cleaned and the bed was comfortable. There was also a nespresso machine. This is a no-frills place, not particularly cosy, but practical. Note that there is no reception. All doors need to be opened by various codes, which you get through their website. Opening every door with a four-digit or even longer code may be cumbersome, especially during longer stays and frequent in-and-outs, but it saves quite a bit of cost, I assume.

It was very nice and functional, the website with the access codes was easy to use and understand.

Ca-Chunk! Ca-chunk! Ca-Chunk! So the 5th floor is only accessible via stairs which is fine however the last step is double hight. So friend with chronic pain found that last step a challenge. There are not enough curtains which is important when trying to keep the sun and heat OUT. Especially when you have two balconies with big windows letting the heat in. The most annoying thing though was the elevator, most people have experienced an elevator motor going which is expected. But the elevator motor is behind a door in the bathroom! And throughout the night you had the acceptable motor but then the safety engaging at every stop was a loud metal thunk that made it through the walls no problems, especially when sleeping in the living room.

Stayed one week as a family of three. Checking in was hell as I had reserved 2 rooms, but they only saw one room and did not try to help solve the problem at all despite sending paid bill for 2 rooms . After spending hours on the phone, ******* could solve the problem. However, limehome gave us rooms on different floors and was never able to move us to the same floor despite our daily requests and many checkouts every single day. The big problem is nobody is on site and everything is done over the internet and WhatsApp, which makes it all very impersonal as you never speak to the same person twice and they take hours to respond if they ever do and are never friendly or helpful. Furthermore, rooms are tiny, not clean, showers are full of mold, and every noise from neighbors is loudly heard. The rooms are by no way luxury and also not that cheap with the hidden tourist tax. Last but certainly not least, there is no safe in the room and although you put the do not disturb sign on your door, they will wake you up and enter your room whether you are there sleeping or not there.

I enjoyed my week here. The room had a kitchen that included a stove, a fridge, utensils, and cooking ware. It feels a bit like a studio flat. For two people, it might feel a bit small. The limehouse is located in a great area. Any direction you walk will lead you to something that interests you.
