We stayed one night at Hotel Victoria Nürnberg and overall had a very pleasant experience. The hotel itself is housed in one of the most beautiful historic-looking buildings, and the location truly could not be better. It’s directly across from the train station, which made arriving and departing incredibly convenient, and it’s within walking distance of so much that Nuremberg has to offer.
The staff were very kind and welcoming, and the breakfast each morning was excellent with a nice variety of options.
One thing worth mentioning is that the hotel is extremely energy efficient, and that does translate into very compact rooms. Our room was quite small — the shower was tight, there wasn’t much room to open suitcases, and for us it worked well for a one-night stay, but it would have been difficult for a longer stay of several days.
The biggest surprise was that while the outside of the building has incredible old-world charm and character, the inside is much more modern and minimalist, catering more toward business travelers than travelers seeking a traditional historic hotel atmosphere.
That said, there is an absolutely wonderful small restaurant next door that served the best asparagus with hollandaise sauce I have ever tasted. Honestly, I may come back to Nuremberg just for that meal alone.
Overall, the location, staff, breakfast, and beautiful exterior made for a lovely stay.
