We had a lovely stay at Five Reasons. Our 2 bedroom apartment style with separate kitchen and dining area was more than we expected. Rooms were spacious, all twin beds were comfortable with good warm duvets. Everything was clean, and daily cleaning service was also performed. Shout out to Anastasia whom checked us in, and was very amicable and provided worthy information of the city. The Hotel is well located within walking distance of major attractions. Recommended for family or groups of 5-6 people.

My husband and I are in our 70’s, and made this reservation because the price seemed reasonable. We did not realize that rooms did not have bathrooms en suite, and were quite distressed when we got there and realized our mistake. BUT: we will return, better prepared (bathrobes!) because the place is wonderful. Super clean, new, tasteful decor. Excellent bathrooms. Good staff, good breakfast (WARM bread/rolls, meats and cheeses, freshly cooked and warm eggs, great coffee machine…) Also: excellent location steps away from U-Bahn stop Opernhaus (U2, which is the line that goes to airport), and Germanisches Museum.

The only down-side was the noise at night. Rowdy, loud people outside the hostel could clearly be heard in the room even with windows closed. I could also hear my neighbor snoring loudly at night as if he were in my room!

Great Customer care

It was lovely. The room itself was large and comfortable. There was a lovely view of the Nuremberg walls from my room.

I didn’t know that the hotel room I booked didn’t have a bathroom as I thought it was a bit different set up then the hostel and my reservation wasn’t very clear.

However, as soon as I mentioned it via my check in review, I was contacted by reception and they assured me it would be made clearer online when booking and offered us free drinks. I looked through the reservation and saw it stated so said it was my fault for not checking.

However, They were very keen to check on us and make sure we were happy with our stay which I think shows how much they care about their customers’ experiences.
