Though the town and area seemed very safe. Plenty of parking, kitchenette was convenient for us. We would stay again and recommend."

"Clean, stylish, quiet rooms and helpful staff. Excellent gym and pool area and right in the heart of old town Nuremberg. We got some excellent sleep. You can‘t beat this hotel’s location, price, interior design in Nuremberg. Very good noise insulation, highly effective AC (we were there during the summer heat). No fridge in rooms, and they are on the smaller side - but other than that a great hotel, new and clean."
