This place is a hidden gem, if you like a small hotel with lots of character. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. The rooms are rather small and spartan, but the section of the building we were in was built in 1345, so set your expectations accordingly. Underground parking for your is right next door and you can easily walk to everything, so it's very convenient. I will definitely stay there again next time!

Prior to our arrival, I asked for a first floor room based on recent double knee surgery. Upon arrival it was disclosed that they had put us on the third floor. Though the front desk did have someone help us with the luggage, it was tough to go up and down the stairways. Other than that, the stay was nice, breakfast was good and they did get us a taxi for a very early flight.

Great location

On a peaceful street just minutes from the market, restaurants and bars. Very pleasant staff. Large room (no. 5) but very small shower and towels. Approximately €16 for breakfast.

This is a lovely hotel in old Nuremberg. Great location, at the edge of the pedestrian area, and close to the Dürer House and the Nuremberg castle. Clean and nicely set-up, with friendly staff. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Charming historic hotel, great location

The Hotel Elch is a quaint, charming hotel in a perfect location. The part we stayed in was the historic building with half timbered walls. There are stairs to get to the rooms, which are on the small side, but still comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Loved this hotel right in the old town. Perfect for walking and exploring and close to the train. So much charm! Nuremberg is a magical City! Definitely will be back and would stay at hotel Elch again. If you are looking for a small, charming, unique hotel this is it. I loved hearing the church bells throughout the day! If you are looking for a slick hotel chain this is not for you.

Comfortable luxury and in a good location!

The hote is beautiful and has a balcony at the back of the hotel were you can enjoy a drink or food. We enjoyed our room overlooking the street. The rooms are spacious and clean. Recommend parking outside the city as the streets are small and google maps aren’t always correct. When we arrived it was spring festival which added to the atmosphere and liveliness of the city. Great location.

I stayed here for one weekend during my study abroad trip and absolutely loved it. The hotel is walking distance to many of the city’s main attractions, and the staff was beyond excellent. The room was small, but perfect for a solo traveller like myself, and was very clean. I would absolutely stay here again next time I visit Nürnberg!
