For a youth hostel there is nothing to complain about. The food is varied and there is a lot to choose from. The rooms are modern. The ambience of the old building is wonderful.

Our rooms were on the 7th floor with a wonderful view over the city of Nuremberg! Clean and spacious.The breakfast buffet (organic products) was great and, for us gardeners, delicious! Nobody was left out!The service was also excellent, very informative and friendly.The building takes you back to earlier times, has a very modern design and is pretty quiet for a youth hostel!Price - performance - quality: 1A!Keep it up and thank you for your hospitality!

The youth hostel is beautiful and well located. The food is excellent and very varied. Great recipes and lots of vegan/vegetarian options.The employees are not prepared for youth groups and react rudely and indignantly. The night-time surveillance by security and the associated curfew when the tour is done is - to put it politely - inconvenient. In a youth hostel we would have expected more focus on the needs of young people. We felt unwanted here.

Unfriendly reception but friendly bar staffOverall, the youth hostel was mixed. The receptionist was extremely rude and seemed annoyed with the guests. Especially in a youth hostel, the staff should be able to deal better with young people. In addition, every time you entered you had to show a "room card" - a cheap piece of paper that was easy to forge and therefore had no real use.The bar staff, who were very nice and attentive, should be positively highlighted. The rooms were also quite okay, although the bathroom was a bit small, which made the stay a bit uncomfortable.However, I won't come back because of the unfriendly reception.

Good location, rooms are okay, food is rather uninspiring and the lovely lady at the reception quickly becomes extremely annoying and unfriendly. She should rethink how she treats guests

Very unfriendly reception. For some unknown reason there is a large amount of rice on the ground.
