The staff gave the expected service but not more - as guest you get a better impression if you are met with a smile ..... The general impression was that the whole operation is a bit away from nowadays normal standards.

The only concern I had was during check-in. My guest hadn't shown up when I was there to check in. They would not let me check-in until my partner arrived. I told them we would come by and make the covid test. But they made me wait almost 4 hours to check in. The other strange thing is how little time one gets to spend there. 1600 hrs check in time and 1100 hrs check out.. but other than that, spectacular facilities and delicious breakfast.

The rooms were very outdated, nothing like the pictures. The windows let in a ton of cold air and we're right by the head of the bed, so I kept waking up with a sore throat. It was also quite lound. Not sure how they can say those rooms were soundproof. The people in the restaurant weren't very friendly either. It is at least next to the train station.

Nice place, Not so nice service incident

Been here over 5 times usually pretty good service and it's pretty clean. Come here mainly for it's close location to the shops and train station. Most recent trip was this past Friday and as soon as we got to check in instant terrible service women at the the counter hates Americans and was very rude. Quote \"When did you make the reservation three minutes ago?\" With an eyeroll and then turned around and gossiped to the other women behind the counter making comments about Americans. Note we live here in Germany and again stayed here multiple times before, set a distaste for the place the rest of the trip. Other than that incident the past workers were always happy to help and give directions when needed.

Outdated, tiny stuffy room with no air conditioner

Worst hotel I've stayed in Germany! There is no air conditioner and the tiny room gets very stuffy. If you open the window, the noise won't let you sleep at the hotel is right at the very busy street and right next to the train station. The hotel is outdated. I remember that furniture and curtains style from the early 90s when I traveled in Europe. Also, the elevator only goes to the 4th floor, so if they give you a room on the 5th floor, you'll have to drag your suitcase up two fleets of stairs. This hotel is terrible and not worth even quarter of the money you have to pay!

Theft from Room

Whilst staying at this hotel over the weekend of 3rd-5th May 2017, my camera bag, containing all my camera equipment and other electronic devices, was taken from our room whilst we ate in the hotel restaurant.
The night manager was as helpful as he could be, however, the staff on duty the next morning when we checked out could not have been more disinterested or dismissive. They seemed more concerned that we might have had an extra Coke from the mini-bar than the fact that someone staying in their hotel had been robbed!
At the time of writing this I have still received nothing by way of an apology nor any sign of sympathetic understanding from the hotel.
This is most definitely not a hotel I will be staying in again, nor recommending to friends and colleagues.

A very good hotel in terms of its cleaning, sense of safety and the location. Just opposite to the train station. As we are Chinese and from Hong Kong, it is easy to find Chinese restaurant nearby. The hotel room is big (we are couple with double room and have many things). The toilet is clean, bed and pillow are comfortable to sleep. The lounge has a big bear which is cute, and we can enjoy the different kinds of tea at the bar :-) Staff are nice who help us to print out train station 邦票 ticket which I forgot to print before my trip！ And I can even get back my stuff after I lost it , although it is just a tourguide book

Best hotel for access to Hauptbahnhof (Station)

We booked hotel primarily due to ease of access to the main station and have to say that it is indeed the best-located hotel for those walking with luggage from Nuremberg station! It is only about 100m from the underground walkway exit. Note: when arriving from Munich (or the south) disembark and walk westward on the platform until you reach the lifts and go down to the lower level and upon exiting the lift, turn right along the underground walkway, hotel is literally to right in front of you. NOTE: hotel is OPPOSITE side of the station from the old city area! This hotel is clean and tidy, however as the rooms occupy 5 separate (but inter-connecting buildings), rooms vary in size and features. The first room we were shown had no air-con, despite being recently renovated (had heater, but no cooler!) and as we arrived in a heatwave (35oC to 38oC) this was unacceptable. After discussing this with the duty manager and her junior clerk, we were very kindly given an air-conditioned room: THANKYOU!

World War 2 is over !

It was a very discouraging welcome to Nuremburg. I was traveling with my daughter on a very tiresome back packing trip. This was day 14. We arrived around 10 AM and were NOT welcomed by two young blonde desk attendants who thought their German was safe, but they commented, \"what do you expect from Americans\", which was referring to our unorganized state. Of course we were not expecting to have to change practically in the lobby, because we were giving them all our stuff for the day until our room was prepared. They were making demeaning comments the entire time we were in the lobby. My daughter was really looking forward to this city, but this really spoiled it. The older man in the morning, maybe the manager, and the women at night were extremely helpful.

Simple, reasonable hotel just outside old city

I stayed at this hotel for one night while traveling through Nuremberg. I was surprised to find out that it is NOT in the old city center but rather just outside of it, behind the main rail station. Travelers on train will probably find this a great location. If you want to see the old city center, however, it's about a 10-minute walk. Not too bad, except that you either have to walk through the train station or through a 150-yard tunnel full of car exhaust if you want to do this. The castle overlooking the old city is on the opposite (north) side and about a 20-minute walk.
The hotel is probably priced appropriately overall.
The swimming pool in the basement is tiny and without sunlight, too small for swimming laps in case that was your plan.
Parking is an uncovered and unlocked lot just behind the hotel. Ask the hotel desk to charge you (10 euros) for a 24-hour parking permit rather than paying the machine in the lot, which only gives < 8-hour permits at at time. Only one of the 3 hotel staff I interacted with was aware of how parking permits/payments work.

I enjoyed my stay in this hotel. It is across the street from the sudesgang (?) [south exit] of the hauptbahnhof (?) [main train station]. The rooms are tiny, but comfortable, and at least one of the receptionists speaking English well. I did not eat breakfast at the hotel, as it was too expensive; about 3-5 blocks south west was a nice cafe where I got awesome pastries and coffee for 4 euros. If you are only stopping through Nuremberg for a night and need a decent place, consider this hotel. It is also just south of the old city, which can easily be seen by a few hours walk.
