In this review, I'm only going to talk about the dining room, because I didn't actually stay at the hotel. When I visited Hildesheim, I was so disappointed! I expected to see a pretty village of half-timbered houses. Instead I saw a bustling provincial town that was disconcertingly modern. There were a few fachwerkhaeuser, but they were tucked out of...

I truely 5 star quality hotel. It is built like an old castle and located in the middle of the town. My room was at the attic so I had the sloped roof top and it faced the market place. The colors on the rooms are charming and homey. The breakfast buffet was big and very good. I loved the... More

The hotel is located in a beautifful building, in the heart of the historic city. The market place is just marvelous! Reception not only great looking but also very professional and quick in serving customers. Smooth check-in, lift to the floor and... total disappointment. Old, run-down, in dire need of reconstruction (in fact in progress in the other part of... More

a good 4* hotel, very good service and good food on a lovely traditional german square. at £65 for 2 per night, it is a very good deal. hildesheim is quite pleasant and has plenty of shops and museums and churches, and a castle to visit. hannover has great historical connections to the uk but is quite ugly and austere.

Originally I had planned to stay in the Novotel in Hildesheim, but after reading the Trip Advisor reviews of Novotel and Van der Valk, I opted for the latter. Perhaps that is one reason why I was especially disappointed. Yes, indeed, the location is unbeatable. I had a view of the Marktplatz complete with noontime Glockenspiel and all that is... More

We were at a seminar in this hotel for 3 full days. The location of the hotel is nice, right at the city centre and walking-distance to most of attractive places, restaurants etc. We were looking forward to this stay, as the internet homepage looked very attractive, with renovated rooms in a fancy style. However, when we were booked in... More
