A decent chain hotel close to the southern edge of Nuremberg's Aldstadt (old town) and about a mile from the main railway station (but closer to the Plärrer underground station and tram stop).
It's relatively new, and features standard and superior rooms, with a small cafe-bar, restaurant, outdoor terrace, and gym.
The room was pleasant and well laid out, albeit a little on the compact side. It included a safe, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities. The air-conditioning worked well and the beds were comfortable. The headboard features a novel coloured light system in the surround, to help lull you to sleep, if alternating rainbow colours are your thing. The room and bathroom we're spotlessly clean.
The reception staff were uniformly delightful and helpful, and the most memorable point of our stay. We had some meals in the bar that were also perfectly good, though we skipped the breakfast (around €15 per person depending on your deal) and the restaurant was reserved for two large parties during our stay.
The only reason for not giving five stars was there was some street noise, despite us being given a room on the "quieter" Sandstraße side. On weekends music from the adjacent cafe can be heard until midnight and you still hear some traffic. My partner found the noise tolerable but I'd have found it intrusive, had I not had earplugs.
That all said, we had a lovely stay and I'd happily stay there again. read more
