Hotel Elch Boutique
This hotel was great for those wanting an "old town" experience. The location is perfect and the room was a good size. Staff was very helpful with giving recommendations and directions around Altstadt Nuremburg. The only down side was how small the bathroom was, and how small the available parking ...

Burghotel Nürnberg
The room was clean and the staff was excellent. The bed was very uncomfortable. The pillow were not very good. The pool area was awesome. This hotel was in the old area and very close to the palace and all of the very old buildings and churches.
