Decent hotel, well located. Good breakfast - no variation though, same thing everyday - not very big choice. on booking it says no prepayment charge but they took the money upfront without even letting us know, kind of unprofessional. no manager on site, the cook solves any issues and she was not so pleasant at first, only after a chat...

My mother and I arrived here on a freezing day in December and immediately felt very welcome! We’d just come off a very long flight from Australia, and although we arrived a bit early for check-in, we were shown straight to our room. The Elch is in a great spot – it’s on a pretty street in Nuremberg’s Old Town,... More

The front elevation leaves you in no doubt you have selected a special building. A beautiful old traditional German style. The bar and small reception area are very atmospheric with great old timbers and huge old atmosphere. Service was very friendly and English was no problem. I arrived very late at night and had a very top floor room. It... More

I stayed 3 nights at the Hotel Elch and booked a single room. I arrived early (12:00) and luckily my room was ready - I was put in a room with two twin beds pushed together and was the perfect size for myself. Just so happens that I got a room on the first floor so I didn't have to... More

First off, the parking area, while small, is right across the street which is very convenient (see pictures). You can't get much closer to the Altstadt, which was great for visiting the Christkindlmarkt or anything in the central part of the city. The staff speaks good English and were very friendly, so that is a plus if you do not... More

We stayed here for 2 nights - 23/24 Dec :) I was drawn to the hotel for booking - due to the building itself being an old half timbered "gingerbread house" and the age of it having been established as a hotel in 1342 and being the first hotel in Nuremberg - the reviews online were mostly positive and the...

My parents and I came here on the 17-19 December. They had a spacious double room (number 7) and I had number 10 in the attic, which was smaller, but still had a double. The rooms were absolutely gorgeous! The showers were hot and very powerful and the rooms were very clean. The breakfast consisted of- any beverage hot or... More

Had a really lovely two night stay here, the location is ideal and I love the decor, especially the timber! Comfy beds, friendly staff, good breakfast with plenty of choice. Only criticism is tht it's quite dark in the rooms even with all the lights on so hard to find things in your luggage etc! Definitely recommend the place and... More

We spent five nights in room number 2 during the chrismasmarket. The room was charmingly half-timberd, quite large and had very comfortable beds. Also there was a sittingarea with two armchairs and a small table. Our friends had the room next door. It was very different: walls painted in pink and with the most colorful and eyecatching lamp hanging from... More
