We loved our stay at this 200 year old family run hotel in an oasis of calm outside the city. We stayed 3 nights as we were guests at a family wedding held in Hotel Rottner. On our first evening our al fresco supper in the peaceful and tranquil beer garden was wonderful with delicious 'small plates' to start and washed down with the 'house white wine' they personally select each year (which in 2017 is very good!). Great service from very personable, friendly staff who speak excellent English. Our room in a modern block opposite the restaurant was spacious, very well furnished, and had an amazing bathroom. Breakfast is a relaxed affair with a great selection of cold meats and cheeses, hot food to order, and a bottle of fizz open and waiting! The atmosphere at Hotel Rottner is so lovely with quaint, picturesque buildings sitting comfortably alongside a high end hotel. Whilst we didn't eat in the restaurant the wedding breakfast was a great indicator of their fine dining. We loved our stay with family and new friends and the setting for a small wedding was idyllic.

“OK, but nothing out of the ordinary”

Breakfast could be better (no cappuccino / bread rolls not great) Overall ok, but given the location (about 30 minutes by tram to city centre), price could be a little better (value for money I would give three out of five). Personnel could be friendlier.

“Spacious hotel out of the center”

The hotel is located about 5 km away from the city center which is both nice (very serene and quiet area) and annoying for not being able to just walk to the old city. The picture of the hotel is the old guesthouse but today it's mainly the restaurant (which has a michlin star as of 2019 but I a... more

The hotel is located about 5 km away from the city center which is both nice (very serene and quiet area) and annoying for not being able to just walk to the old city. The picture of the hotel is the old guesthouse but today it's mainly the restaurant (which has a michlin star as of 2019 but I am not sure it's justified) and most rooms are in an adjacent regular building. The ”modern” hotel actually has a transistor in the room so that's a loose definition but the room are large and spacious with a large bed. No AC in the room but only a small fan The bath/shower is problematic for anyone above 1.6m as there is no way to hang or hold the shower head above your head so you have to bend or shower sitting down. This must be fixed! The pressure of the water is fantastic. Breakfast was nice with a decent fresh variety. I would add a few more vegetable besides tomatoes but that’s my Mediterranean diet. WiFi worked well in the room and around the hotel. For the runners among you, 2km away you can find the heinberg area which is a great place for a nice nature run.

We stayed at the Guesthouse Rottner for 4 nights, choosing it for its quiet location, 4 star rating and free parking. The old stand alone house is actually a gourmet restaurant, with two adjacent buildings forming the reception, conference facilities and breakfast room. The accommodation itself is in the salmon pink modern annex, which is over the road. The room was large and clean with a circular bathroom that has a long clear pane of clear glass between it and the bedroom, which seemed a little out of place. The bed was extremely comfortable with two single duvets and extra pillows if needed. The free WiFi reception was also fast and reliable. Given its rating we were surprised that there were no tea/coffee making facilities, however the hotel will happily provide a pot of tea at Euro 5.00 or a coffee at Euro 6.50. Bottled mineral water is provided on a daily basis in the fridge, and a small confectionery treat is placed on each pillow by room service. We found all the staff to be pleasant with those on reception speaking good English. There was a good choice on offer at breakfast most mornings however on the last day (Friday) they ran short of bread, butter, hot water and other essentials with more than an hour of breakfast remaining and had to be prompted to replenish them. Parking in Nuremberg is not a problem unless there is a major event taking place, however we chose to leave the car at the hotel and use the U-Bahn. It’s a 10 to 15 minute walk to Gustav-Adolf Strasse U-Bahn station, where the ticket machine has a multi language touch type menu. If feeling more energetic you could hire bikes from the hotel at a half day rate of Euro 2.50 or full day at Euro 5.00. In summary we enjoyed our stay but the lack of tea and coffee making facilities together with breakfast on the final day was a little disappointing.
