Hotel Alt Nürnberg

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me about Hotel Alt Nürnberg? The name actually tells you everything you need to know – this place gets the whole “old Nuremberg” vibe exactly right without trying too hard. I mean, it’s a solid 3-star that punches way above its weight, and honestly, that 8.4 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed there.

The first thing that hits you is how the place feels genuinely local – like, you’re not staying in some cookie-cutter chain where every room could be anywhere in Europe. The lobby has this lived-in charm that’s more “comfortable family home” than “sterile hotel,” and the staff actually seems to know the neighborhood instead of just rattling off tourist trap recommendations. When I asked about finding a decent bakery for morning coffee (because let’s be real, hotel coffee is hit or miss), the guy at reception didn’t just point me toward the nearest Starbucks – he walked me to the window and showed me exactly which street to take to this little place locals actually use. That kind of detail matters when you’re trying to get a feel for a city.

The rooms are what I’d call “properly German” – clean lines, everything works like it should, no unnecessary frills but nothing feels cheap either. The beds are firm in that European way that your back will thank you for later, and there’s actually enough space to open your suitcase without playing Tetris around the furniture. What really sold me though was how quiet it gets at night. Nuremberg can get pretty lively, especially during festival season, but somehow this place sits in one of those perfect pockets where you get the energy of the city without the 2 AM drunk singing outside your window. The heating works properly too – and if you’ve spent a Bavarian winter in a sketchy hotel, you know that’s not guaranteed. I also appreciated that check-in was refreshingly straightforward, no trying to upsell you on breakfast packages or city tours you don’t want. They give you your key, tell you where the ice machine is, and let you get on with your trip.

• Cemal from Turkey – 20 April 2025 (7/10)

  Room was cozy and big (forth floor – 41), has big bath. People were so warm, breakfast was very good.
  
  What could be improved: Location is very bad and not safe i think especially for families with kid. Hotel has not elevator, and there was not any refrigirator in the room.

• Setareh from Sweden – 16 April 2025 (9/10)

  The room was so nice and clean. Very close to U and trainstation. The staff were so friendly!
  
  What could be improved: Well the neighborhood close to the trainstation draws some shifty people. However we felt safe most of the time.
  
  The stairs was a good workout!

• John from Australia – 1 October 2024 (8/10)

  Very convenient to railway station . Also , when renting or returning a Europcar rental, this location does get any better.
  Incredibly clean, very comfy beds, quiet location. Nicely decorated.
  
  What could be improved: Not a great fan of bath only with a hand held shower. If one stands up, the bathroom is awash.

• Bruce from United Kingdom – 27 September 2024 (9/10)

  Family-run small guest house only 200m from Haupbahnhof – ace location. Flexible to retain baggage after check-out, enabling hands-free time in Hamburg. Great room. Good food.

• Judith from Switzerland – 3 September 2024 (8/10)

  You sense the love of the owner in all the little details
  
  What could be improved: The location is close to the station but the street is full of people going out till early morning. It doesn’t feel safe outside but once you‘re inside, it‘s a different world.
