What guests think

At Five Reasons Hostel & Hotel, guests consistently praise the very clean spaces, friendly and helpful staff, and comfortable bunks or spacious rooms, describing a well-run property that delivers solid value for money and an orderly, low-fuss stay.

Typical trade-offs are shared bathrooms rather than en-suites, no air conditioning in summer, and occasional noise from the street or thin walls. The location suits sightseeing and transit, though a few reviewers found nearby late-night activity unpleasant. Breakfast receives frequent compliments, and the communal kitchen helps with self-catering. Overall, it’s a practical, budget-friendly base.

Great for a night exploring the city, really central location and great car parking only £12 for 24 hours which is fantastic. The room was spacious and clean very comfortable. The shared bathrooms were lovely and clean, had everything we needed for the night. Would come back again if we’re ever in the area. Great value for money and staff were kind and friendly too.

The 4 single bed apartment included a functional kitchenette with a dining table (microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster) and a bathroom with seperate WC. Perfect for 4 adults. Beds were comfortable. Staff were helpful and spoke English well. Parking was at the rear of property with a gate for security. Property is just inside the city wall and us walking distance to the Altstadt.

Very good hostel. The rooms were large and clean and so were toilets and showers. The kitchen area was a good space to hang out. The reception was open 24/7. They also had a free luggage room. No laundry sadly -- I had to go to one 10 minutes away.

Wir fanden es sehr unangenehm das vor dem Hostel so viele Obdachlose waren, die teilweise auch einfach auf die Straßen uriniert haben und vor dem Hotel geschlafen haben. Die kleine "Gasse" runter gab es dann noch eine Art Club, wo sich Abends ziemlich viele unangenehme Personen getummelt haben. Beides hat unseren Aufenthalt vor allem spät Abends ziemlich unangenehm gestaltet; Mann muss definitiv wissen welche Straßen man meiden muss. Dennoch war das Hostel an sich eine sehr angenehme Erfahrung, mit super freundlichem und verständnisvollen, multilingualen Personal, welches uns auch bei Wünschen entgegen kam. Auch gibt es in dem Hostel einen schönen Lounge-Bereich und einen rustikalen Aufzug der uns begeistert hatte.

Es gibt einen Kühlschrank mit Klebezettel für dein Essen und die Möglichkeit für Foodsharing:) Ich war zufrieden und würde es weiterempfehlen!

Keep in mind that even if you book a single room, this is still a hostel with no bathroom, shower, nor sink in your own room. Also, the walls are paper thin, and I could hear a family talking and a child screaming often. There is also no tv in the room. On the plus side, it was very clean. The staff was very helpful, and it is in a great location between the Hauptbahnhof and the city center.

Comfortable room within walking distance to the train station and Old Town Nürnberg. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fresh and sufficient. I had a beautiful view of the Opera House from my room. The only down-side was the noise at night. Rowdy, loud people outside the hostel could clearly be heard in the room even with windows closed. I could also hear my neighbor snoring loudly at night as if he were in my room! Nevertheless, I would love to stay here again!

The hostel was clean, and very well located to the train station and the beautiful old town. Easy to get everywhere. Loved the train museum very close by!
