Family run hotel - very pleasant and helpful
Pros:

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The airconditioning in the room was not functional with a heatwave in Europe 😔
We were provided with a fan on the 2nd night
If the aircon had been optimal then it would have been a good stay
Always a bit of an effort when there is no elevator and you have to lug your bags up the stairs

Fabulous hotel
Pros:

Absolutely everything, this is by far one of the best hotels we have stayed in, spotlessly clean, beautiful room with the added bonus of aircon, there was a parking garage directly across the road, so easy to use , number plate recognition, it would have normally been €20 for 24 hours but the hotel gives a discount so it's €15 payable to them, they provide a ticket with a barcode which you validate it at the machine on leaving, we didn't have breakfast but we will definitely be back.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike

Treasure in the heart of Nuremberg Old town!
Pros:

Great hotel in the Old town!
We immediately felt at home.
The room was spacious and everything in it was really comfortable - the bed, the shower. The facilities are very well maintained.
The location is great for going around the Old town on foot and you can easily get to many activities, restaurants, landmarks, museums and others.
Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, coffee was great!
And really important - hosts were incredibly kind and helpful! They made our stay super pleasant!
I would highly recommend Franconia city hotel if you are in Nuremberg and I'll gladly come back here as well.

Excellent hotel with amazing hosts
Pros:

The owners are a mother and son who are extremely friendly and helpful with restaurant and sightseeing suggestions in the city. The room was very spacious, especially compared to typical European hotel rooms. The hotel breakfast buffet ($17 USD) had a variety of meats, cheeses, breads, yogurt, cereal, vegetables, and freshly made scrambled eggs. Parking was easy in a parking garage across the street. The hotel was located inside the “old town” city walls making it close to lots of the historical sights, restaurants and shopping.

Cons:

The air conditioner did not cool the room well as air conditioners do in the U.S. If we had been there the week before during the heat wave it would have been tough to sleep. It would have been nice to have a small stand fan to use. The shampoo and body wash did not lather well, but that might be a common thing with European bath products.

We really enjoyed our stay at Franconia City Hotel. I'd recommend this hotel to any of my friends.
Pros:

The hotel is well located, clean, quiet and the staff were excellent. The room was well appointed and nicely decorated. It was easy to find and there are some nice local restaurants very close by.

Cons:

It has been VERY hot in Europe and the A/C was a little noisy ... better when running at half speed.
