Apartment Near the INI Hannover: Where to Stay for Neurosurgery
International patients travel to the INI in Hannover for neurosurgery. Here is why a furnished apartment minutes away — with its own kitchen and room for a companion — makes recovery calmer than a hotel.
The International Neuroscience Institute (INI) in Hannover draws patients from around the world for complex brain and spine surgery. If you are travelling for treatment, one of the quietest practical questions is where to stay before and after the operation. This guide explains why a furnished apartment minutes from the INI is often the calmest choice for a longer medical stay.
How close is the apartment to the INI?
Our furnished apartments are on Schierholzstraße 61 in Groß-Buchholz, only about 5–10 minutes by car from the INI — which sits right next to the MHH (Hannover Medical School) campus. Tram line 7 and a bus stop are directly at the door, and there is free parking at the house. From Hannover Airport (HAJ) it is around 15 minutes.

Why an apartment beats a hotel after neurosurgery
After a brain or spine operation, rest and calm matter more than anything. A furnished apartment gives you your own kitchen to cook gentle, specific food, a washing machine and dryer, free Wi-Fi, and a quiet residential street to recover on. It is usually far cheaper per week than a hotel — and it gives the patient a real home rather than a corridor of strangers.
- Own kitchen — prepare the food the patient needs.
- Washing machine and dryer on site.
- Free Wi-Fi to stay in touch with doctors and family.
- Quiet street for proper rest between appointments.
- Flexible monthly stays — from a few weeks to several months.
