Hotels Near Ostermayr Passage in Nuremberg

We've been staying at the DK just about every year since 2002 (the pandemic was the only reason for the hiatus). As many other reviewers have already noted, the location simply cannot be beat, the staff are excellent, and it's a clean, safe, comfortable home base for your trip to Nürnberg. However, as I walked down the hall this December it finally occurred to me why we love this place so much... unlike the cookie cutter hotel chains, it literally has its own personality, like an old, trusted, beloved friend. A lot of that is thanks to the friendly and competent staff, but the building itself, the antique decorations, the stone staircase, the quirky alcoves, the exposed sandstone wall blocks, even the lovingly worn tapestries and rugs immediately transport you back to a slower, more civilized era of travel. Although the modern amenities are all here, no one is rushed or stressed out, nothing about the place screams Trendiness! or Now!! Rather, every room, ever hall whispers quiet class, subdued elegance, come and relax and chat for a bit. And as trite as the cliché is, yes... ”Old World Charm.” There's even a parlor(!) next to the breakfast room where guests can read a newspaper, play the piano, lose themselves in a reverie, or check their smartphones and social media accounts. Trust me, after a day spent exploring the medieval city or an evening in the hustle and bustle of the Christkindlesmarkt, this is a wonderful thing... no matter how old or young you are. Our kids have grown up thinking of the Deutscher Kaiser as ”our” hotel. I hope we - and they - will keep returning here every year for the next 40 or more, and I hope very little, if anything, will change about it.

A great hotel, located in the heart of the city, very liked

Beautiful hotel, central location, clean. Excellent swimming pool and spa. Excellent service, I forgot a sweatshirt in the room (a gift I am very fond of) and immediately they found it and sent it to my home address. Nice and good breakfast. Super recommended!

Right in front of the Nuremberg Christmas Market If the room is small, but the Christmas market is your goal, I recommend this place. We tried to pull and park the car at the hotel, but it was impossible during Christmas. We used a paid parking lot in front of the hotel. This is not a big problem because parking at the hotel is expensive, but I only arrived the first night and was a bit tired due to parking. The picture is a room

It is really HOT and STUFFY in the room. I’ve been many hostels w/o air-conditioner, it was not bad. But this hostel was totally different. The whole building was very incredibly stuffy and hot. And there was no lockers in the room. The only two good things in the hostel was the location and the fact that they provide hair dryer. It was funny that there is an air-conditioner in the reception floor. They know that the building is excessively hot. I strongly recommend if you have a little more money, then go to other hostels(with AC).

Set I. A perfect location for us as it is 200 yards from the station but only a five minute walk into town. The mini E we arrived to the minute we left the staff could not do enough for us, the manager led by example but I must mention Celline who went above and beyond. Spotlessly clean the rooms were big and extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend and would certainly come back and this hotel would be my first choice

I’ll start with the positives of this hotel: we were really happy with the location! Access to the tram literally right outside the front door was perfect. We also found it was in walking distance to the Christmas Markets, an Aldi and a coffee shop! Some short comings for us were the self checkin for after hours, in theory this would be excellent…BUT the touch screen was horrendous, after our flight being delayed we did not arrive until about 3am instead of 11pm so we were already tired and then having to spend at least 20 minutes trying to type in our reservation info was extremely aggravating. The keyboard kept disappearing and then reappearing, adding/erasing letters on its own… again great in theory but the execution was just not there. The room appeared to be clean however for the few days we were there we noticed a strange smell from the shower portion of the bathroom and it just didn’t seem to be the cleanest. There was also a stain on one of the comforters in the room upon checking at arrival, with no one at the desk at night we just had to not use it. We’ve stayed at B&B hotels and are generally happy with the experience given the price. I’m sure it was just that particular room however, we probably wouldn’t stay again unless only for a night at a low price. Again, the location was great but overall experience was a bit lower than usual, hopefully was just a one off due to the busy time of year.

The location of the hotel is a distance from the station, but the subway can be directly reached, and it is also very close to the subway station, and the same subway from the hotel to the nearby fürth can be reached, the traffic is convenient. The environment of the hotel is very clean, the room is large, and bottled water is available. This is very rare in Europe. The room is cleaned every day. The breakfast is also rich. The overall accommodation experience is good.

We only booked this hotel as we were away on business and attending Biofach at the exhibition centre nearby. Of course prices went through the roof as an exhibition was on, my company £364 for a basic twin room per night / for 3 nights - over £1000 in total! When I arrived, yes the room was clean but I was suprised at how basic it was for the price, plus the fact it looked nothing like the pictures on trip advisor. I also looked on booking.com to see there was rooms available for that night for less than half of what we paid. I went down to reception and asked if there was any other rooms available as I felt our room was very poor quality for the price, and we overpaid compared to the current price for available rooms. I’ve never seen someone at reception seem to offended at such a standard question. She asked me ‘what my point was’, and insisted there were no rooms available except those that hadn’t been renovated. Answering my question if an available better room was available seemed impossible and she said I should speak to the manager the next day. However there was a very helpful woman who checked me in. Before I even got round to speaking to a manager the next day we decided to go the gym. Of course the gym isn’t signposted anywhere in the hotel, why would a key facility be? I asked the woman at the desk (who was on her mobile phone) where it was and she pointed ahead of her and said the door on the left after the glass door. There were 3 doors, of course none said gym on and they all looked the same. I picked one and ended up in the stock room. I went back and asked her to confirm again but she just pointed again as it must have been too much effort to walk round from the desk and show me. Of course I eventually found it, no air con, music or lights but not suprised. When we first arrived the lady at reception recommended booking for the restaurant as it gets busy, we didn’t book that night and we were asked by the waiter if we had a reservation but luckily there was space. We decided the next day to request a booking to which the response was ‘you don’t need to book there’s lots of rooms’, to which I confirmed what the waiter had said and so she reluctantly wrote my room number down on a piece of paper. I never even complain, especially when away on business, but only 1 night in I felt I needed to The plus side is the food is good, and the location is 10 minutes from the exhibition, shame it was taken over from the Hilton and the customer service is beyond poor.

We stayed at the Gasthaus Rottner during a hot weekend in August because we wanted to see Nuremberg and, as fans of romantic hotels, were looking for a suitable hotel. The quiet location just outside the center suited us very well and on arrival we were given deluxe room 33 in the guesthouse opposite. The architect had designed it very creatively, as the round building elements and seating went perfectly with each other. Even the glass door to the modern and generously equipped bathroom was semi-circular. Even the minibar was in a round console on wheels on which the 37-inch TV stood. This meant that it could be turned in the right direction. The minibar was spartanly stocked, but included in the room price. The wardrobes were cleverly integrated into the walls and contained enough storage space. The electrical equipment was very good and there was also a desk with a lamp and sockets. We would have liked air conditioning, however, as the temperatures that weekend were around 33°C and the fan that was blocked off provided little relief. The internet access via the password-protected WiFi was decent, as I measured a download speed of 28400 kbit/s and an upload speed of 34200 kbit/s. What we regretted most was that the restaurant was closed on Sunday and Monday, as we were unable to enjoy the Michelin-star cuisine at all. We were only able to experience a little Bavarian inn atmosphere in the beer garden, which was fortunately open on Sunday afternoon because of the good weather. The breakfast buffet with an excellent coffee machine was like a 4-star hotel; it was not lavish and almost everything was packed chilled in small portion glasses. This was a clever solution, as it meant that nothing was left on the guests' plates. The very friendly service staff were happy to fulfill any special requests. All in all, I really liked the hotel and I will definitely stay there again on another visit to Nuremberg, but definitely not on Sundays or Mondays when the restaurant is closed.
