Top Franconia Hotel Reviews

Sorat Hotel Saxx Nürnberg

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very welcoming and the hotel could not have been better located. We walked the square and up to the fortress in mere minutes. Plenty of dining options close by and on site parking were a bonus."

Hotel Rheingold

10/10 Excellent

"Magnífico. Limpieza, amplitud y servicios de la Habitación, el restaurante destacado por la calidad de su comida y atención del personal en todo el establecimiento"

Scandic Nürnberg Central

Karl August - a Neighborhood Hotel

"Extremely friendly and helpful staff"

Mercure Hotel Wuerzburg Am Mainufer

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Friendly welcome on arrival and staff helpful throughout stay. Extremely well situated 5-10 minute walk to the centre with ample on-site secure car parking for a fee. Also, you can park your car for free at the nearby Talavera car park which is huge. Breakfast was excellent. Fantastic choice and constantly replenished, even on weekends when the hotel was very busy. Room was clean and a good size, although bathroom a little on the small side. We wouldn’t hesitate to return to this hotel again. Wurzburg is a beautiful city and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

Living Hotel Nürnberg

8/10 Good

"It was about a 25-minute walk from the train station (through some construction), but once we found it, it worked for our short stay. The sign outside doesn’t say Living Hotel – it still shows a former name, so we had to go in to ask if we were at the right place. The lodgings were good, although there wasn’t AC and, with the windows open for coolness, the neighbors could be fairly loud. It was great having a bedroom separate from a living room/kitchenette, and the packet of gummy bears when we checked out was a nice touch."

Best Western Hotel Nuernberg City West

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was excellent, a well staffed and very well maintained buffet. The rooms were well furnished and daily cleaned. The staff was friendly and professional. The property is in close proximity to the subway station. Should we return to Nuernberg, we will stay there again."

Maritim Hotel Würzburg
