HOTEL
Hotel Drei Raben €€€
( 274 380;
www.hotel3raben.de
; Königstrasse 63; s/d €130/150; )
The design of
this original hotel builds upon the legend of the three ravens perched on the building's
chimney stack, who tell stories from Nuremberg lore. Each of the 'mythology' rooms uses
decor and art including sandstone-sculpted bedheads and etched-glass bathroom doors to
reflect a particular tale, from the life of Albrecht Dürer to the history of the local football
club. Junior suites have claw-foot tubs.
Agneshof €€
( 214 440;
www.agneshof-nuernberg.de
;
Agnesgasse 10; s/d from €73/86; )
Tranquilly located in the antiques quarter near the St Sebalduskirche, the Agneshof's pub-
lic areas have a sophisticated, artsy touch. The box-ticking rooms have whitewashed walls
and '90s furniture; some at the top have views of the Kaiserburg. There's a state-of-the-art
wellness centre, and a pretty summer courtyard garden strewn with deckchairs. Parking
(by reservation) costs €15 per day and the farmhouse breakfast is a cheeky extra €7.
HOTEL
Lette'm Sleep €
( 992 8128;
www.backpackers.de
; Frauentormauer 42; dm €16-20, r from €50;
)
A backpacker favourite, this independent hostel is just five minutes' walk from the
Hauptbahnhof, with a laundry, colourfully painted dorms and some groovy self-catering
apartments. The retro-styled kitchen and common room are great areas to chill; internet,
tea and coffee are free, and staff are wired into what's happening around town.
HOSTEL
HOTEL
Hotel Victoria €€
( 240 50;
www.hotelvictoria.de
;
Königstrasse 80; s/d from €78/99; )
A hotel
since 1896, the Victoria is a solid option with a central location. With its early 21st-cen-
tury bathrooms and now ever-so-slightly dated decor, the price is about right. Popular with
business travellers. Parking costs €11.
