Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel boasts spacious and stylishly furnished rooms that were impeccably clean but lacked some basic amenities like glasses. The modern decor added a touch of sophistication to the room. The service was a mix of friendly and helpful staff who could speak good English, alongside some unfriendly encounters. The location, while near everything essential, lacked picturesque views but was incredibly convenient, just a few minutes' walk from the underground station. The dining options were satisfactory, although informing the room number was an inconvenience. Overall, the hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives, making it a decent choice for a stay.
The hotel offers modern rooms equipped with high technology such as Chromecast and touch screen toilet flush. The rooms are spacious, stylishly furnished, and impeccably clean. The service is friendly and helpful, especially in the evenings. The location is convenient for accessing the city center of Nuremberg, although a bit far from downtown. The dining experience includes fresh dishes, but may require informing the room number for service. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were incredibly clean and modern, equipped with high-tech amenities like a kitchenette, USB charging sockets, and even a touch screen toilet flush. The service, although not super welcoming at the reception, was efficient and friendly when it came to delivering forks and spoons swiftly. The location was great, just a few minutes' walk from the underground station, providing easy access to public transportation. The dining experience offered a decent number of options but could have had a bit more variety. Facilities were generally satisfactory, catering to basic needs.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious, allowing us to easily manage our luggage, and had two separate single beds which were quite comfortable. The service was nice and very friendly, making me feel welcomed. The location, though a bit far from the center, was convenient with easy access to main highways. The dining experience was decent, but could have had a bit more variety. The facilities provided added to the comfort of my stay.
The hotel offers well-equipped and decorated rooms with better facilities than your average hotel, but the absence of plates and cutlery makes using the kitchen area challenging. The service is neutral, lacking in customer care, and the location, though good for city access, falls short of being truly central. The dining options are somewhat limited, and the facilities meet basic expectations.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and exactly as shown in the photos, offering a clean and comfortable stay. However, it was a letdown not to find any glasses in the room.
