The lockers in the room are only 1 euro and you get it back when you unlock it. My only complaint was that the hostel faces a busy street and it's right across from the U-bahn station. On hot summer nights, you face the choice of either roasting in your room or being woken up by every passing ambulance in the night.

Good place! Location is quite gooda 10-minute walk from the train station and not far away from the…read morecenter either. The building seems to have been recently renewed and refurbished, so the toilets/showers looked new, shiny and very clean. There are only 2 showers per floor (at least on the second one), and although I didn't have any problem, I guess you may want to be quick for the shower in the morning if you stay here in the high season. There's also a hair dryer. I stayed in an 8-bed dorm and the room was really big and comfortable (not the usual packed dorm with too many beds). There was a table with some stools and also big lockers (more than enough for a 50-liter backpack) with integrated keys (no need to bring or buy an extra lock, it has a coin opening system). Free Wi-Fi with good functioning. Staff was also nice and they are 24 h there.

Our stay was fairly short only 1 night but the staff was very kind & helpful. The hostel was…read morebasically empty & we did not run into any one while we were here (probably because we stayed december 23). On accident i spilled wine on my jacket & the lady working washed my clothes for me and folded them and put them in a bag by my things . And we needed to stay late after our check out because our bus didn't leave until later & the staff were very kind & welcoming to us staying in the lobby until later. The kitchen is large & fully equipped even with spices. The rooms were spacious and the heaters worked very well. The only downside was the showers turned off automatically so it was really cold taking a shower and you have to press the button every 30 seconds but im sure they were just trying to save water.

I've spent four days in February 2011 at the City Hostel Nürnberg. It's ok for a hostel: clean,…read morecheap, with lockers (you can by a lock for 2,50 EUR or bring yours) and a fully equipped kitchen, even a breakfast is optional for 4-5 Euros. Free tea and coffee and two drink vending machines make your life easer. But there is no comfy-zone or common room there: only one little couch in a corner and some bistro tables . The owner seems to be nice, he tries to create a special atmosphere by backing waffles for breakfast and having a customer-friendly attitude. The big plus is that even when the hostel is overbooked, there are still options like an occasional bed. Nevertheless the hostel is small, corridors and stair house are cramped. One of the unisex bathrooms doesn't have a lock. A huge huge minus in my opinion are the video cams in common rooms. I do understand a security concerns, but eating and cooking under surveillance was not so agreeable. Weekends are little noisy, because of the bars downstairs. But on the other hand you are in the middle of Nurnberg's shopping/ museum / bar&club mile. So why stay inside? City Hostel definitely better than the Let me Sleep-Hostel! Cleaner and quieter. So let it be your first choice.

Would highly recommend this hostel/hotel. It's like a college dormitory turned into a hotel…read more Location, staff, cleanliness were all great!
