Loved this hotel right in the old town. Perfect for walking and exploring and close to the train. So much charm! Nuremberg is a magical City! Definitely will be back and would stay at hotel Elch again. If you are looking for a small, charming, unique hotel this is it. I loved hearing the church bells throughout the day! If you are looking for a slick hotel chain this is not for you.

The front desk gentleman was so kind from check in to check out. He suggested areas to visit, was very knowledgeable, great English, and got me a taxi for the next morning. I really enjoyed my stay!

I stayed here for one weekend during my study abroad trip and absolutely loved it. The hotel is walking distance to many of the city’s main attractions, and the staff was beyond excellent. The room was small, but perfect for a solo traveller like myself, and was very clean. I would absolutely stay here again next time I visit Nürnberg!

Very nice hotel in a beautiful city. Easy walk to just about all the main attractions in the old part of the city. Very friendly staff that assisted us greatly. Thank you for adding to our amazing stay in Nuremberg! We'll make this our place to stay in the future if/when we come back to Nuremberg.

A good practical hotel with loads of character
This hotel works surprisingly well for a business trip, and will all its history has bags of character. The staff are obviously proud to work for one of the oldest hotels in the world, and convey that in their engagement with their visitors. My room was intelligently laid out, given the constraints of the building. I visited during a heatwave, and the room had a portable air-conditioning unit, which was effective. There is a really good organic Thai restaurant in the same building. But it is popular, so you will need to book in high season. One thing to watch out for is that the free broadband has quite low bandwidth, so for serious work you will probably need to use your phone's data connection. This hotel is in the center of a city, so don't expect it to be quiet. I didn't find the noise from bars and restaurants intrusive, even when I had the windows open for the heat. Definitely don't aim for a lie in though. The hotel is close to St Sebald's, and no one can sleep through the bells at 07:00!

This historic hotel has two areas, the older "historic" part and the newly renovated area. I stayed in the older historic part, which meant the rates were cheaper but the room was very dated. The lighting was rather dim, the television was small, the bathroom had rust on the fixtures and holes in the walls and didn't have a fan so it steamed up quite a fair bit, and the hair dryer often shorted out after a few seconds of turning it on. The hot water was rather inconsistent, and sometimes gets very hot with no warning, so be careful about that. The room had a view of concrete walls, and still managed to be noisy. Noise from the kitchen and people in the halls and the pipes in the walls really made it difficult to rest peacefully at night. You can hear the footsteps of the people on the floors above you. The pillows were the worst part of all, felt like it was barely filled and very uncomfortable. Staff were really friendly and warm, and the hotel lobby offered free spiced wine, likely a seasonal December thing. We did not try their breakfast as it was easier to get cheaper food for breakfast elsewhere in the area. The location was excellent, within walking distance to all the best parts of Nuremberg. Everything worth seeing was less than 20 minutes walk away.

Friendliness and exceptional service is our highest priority also the cleanliness. It is nice to read that you noticed this. We love our central location, right in the heart of the lively old town of Nuremberg. Unfortunately, it can not be influenced by us that this liveliness is from time to time connected with noise pollution.

We loved the design and how the layout was incorporated into the old building. The staff were always very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. We were in the attic room and even though we are both quite tall we both felt very comfortable! Breakfast was tasty and fresh, and always set us up nicely for the day. We plan on coming back to the area a few times and will certainly book here again.
