I just arrived for a 3 day stay. Due to sad circumstances I completely forgot that check-in is available from 15:00. I was there too early and the nice lady from the reception was letting me do the check-in at 14:00. The design and comfort of the lobby are very nice. It's very very clean and my room was in perfect condition. The bed is comfortable. There is a nice soundsystem in the room, you can connect your devices with. Like already mentioned, the staff is very friendly amd welcoming.I can recommend this hotel for everyone who has a trip to Forchheim and surrounding, cause Forchheim is perfectly situated between cities like Erlangen, Nürnberg and the Fränkische Schweiz.

The place is a nice 2 star but no way a 3 stra hotel. No wardrobe, no kettle, no fridge. Even the glasses are plastic. The reception doesn't speak English. The location is near the train station but pretty far from the center if you want to go get something to eat.

What a superb hotel🤗!Upon registering you are greeted, warmly, professionally and with a smile by staff that GO ABOVE and BEYOND EXPECTATIONS!🌟( Fabienne, Sabine, Tina, Jasmine, Nick and Laura and Onder)Onder excels at his position at front desk. Onder was in complete control of his duties responsibilities and was kind, compassionate and empathetic to me when my wallet was stolen.We all live and learn from each experience in this life and we roll with it and move forward. He calmed me be his kindness and doing everything humanly possible to aide me. Thank you Onder.FYI TIP:( I was grateful my passport and driver's license were separate from debit/ cc and hotel room card.)Please give recognition to these wonderful German staff members. Heck give them all RAISES$$When I stopped by to First inquire about the hotel, Fab answered all my questions politely and thoroughly, which in turn led to a 8 night booking Feb. 9-17, 2024. 👍Well done Fab. See what a fabulous first impression you made?If you're a night owl Laura and Nick are evening receptionists. Very warm, attentive,caring and knowledgable.I am a American female tourist traveling internationally for the FIRST TIME, solo.I felt safe, secure and cared for by the staff and central location in the city of the hotel. You can easily walk to the bus or train stations, local shops and historical points of interest. Bring your cameras.The NUI HOTEL is all about saving resources and acting sustainably. After entering the room you place you key card in a pocket above the hall light switch , which turns on all electronics. When leaving remove it, everything is off! Brilliant. My home state of Florida could benefit by following your example.Thank you to all who were recognized in this review for making My first hotel experience internationally a five star stay. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️Happy Valentine's Day❤️ to you all. Can you feel the Valentine's love from Room this Floridian guest?🤗THANK YOU🤗

Good service when we checked in. The hotel and room were clean and very nice. Comfortable bed and good sized bathroom.Only thing we had to go and ask for a second towel (which was no problem!), but other than that a fantastic stay!

The online booking sucks big time - especially from the mobile. But when you finally get booked, then the rooms are really nice and people are nice and really good breakfast - even though the pan cake machine did not work ...
