Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see where Hawking says there is no God Creator.
It seems to me from the review link in the OP that he is stating that the laws of physics show the creation of the physical universe did not necessarily require a God Creator. Just as a cold virus can mutate without any intervention from an intelligent being. That doesn't mean that a specific cold virus mutation was categorically not the product of intervention from an intelligent being just because it could have happened by chance.
As for who created the creator........I guess the answer is really only of any significance if one is discussing the creation of the physical universe or of reality in totality.
If one is only discussing the former, it doesn't matter who created the creator. All that matters is the creator created the physical universe.(assuming a creator did)
If one is discussing the latter then I would argue the circular questioning would never end and we could never really know or we must accept the idea that all reality and all creation always was and was never "created" to begin with.
