Sorat Hotel Saxx Nürnberg
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Sorat Hotel Saxx Nürnberg is worth booking if location is your priority: it sits on the main market square with the castle about 5 minutes away. Skip it if you travel with a lot of luggage or want hotel extras, since rooms are compact and the facility list is short.

Sightseers who want to walk out of the door and be among the old town's main sights are the clear match. Guests give the location 9.9 out of 10, and the overall score is 8.8 from 2,025 reviews. The 3-star hotel lists family rooms, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour front desk.
Anyone who needs space should look again. Guests say the rooms are compact and luggage storage is limited. There is no spa, pool or gym listed in our data, so this is a base for exploring rather than a place to spend the day.
Location and getting around
The address is Hauptmarkt 17, in Mitte. St. Sebaldus Church is about 0.1 km away, roughly a minute on foot. Nuremberg Castle is about 0.4 km, around 5 minutes, and the Germanisches Nationalmuseum about 0.7 km, roughly 9 minutes.
These are straight-line estimates and have not been checked, though at these short distances the difference should be small. Guests also mention public transport nearby.
What guests say
Location dominates the reviews. Guests value being directly on the main market square near the historic sights. Staff are the second theme, described as friendly and professional with a warm welcome.
On the downside, several guests found the rooms small, with little room for luggage, although others thought the space was adequate.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) were about €337 per night. That is high for a Budget pick, and it shows how expensive Nuremberg was on those dates: the sample median was about €351. These are not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates, as the city may be much cheaper at other times.
The gap between our three picks was narrow. Steichele Hotel & Weinrestaurant, the Best Value pick, was about €344 per night with a score of 8.5. The Luxury pick, Sheraton Carlton Nuernberg, was about €359 with 5 stars and the same 8.8 score. For about €22 more per night you could step up to five stars, so compare both before you book.
Why it made our top 3
We compared only 4 eligible hotels in Nuremberg, a small sample. Saxx shares the top guest score among them and had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside. Its 9.9 location score is the standout number.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms are not confirmed. Noise is worth asking about, since a hotel on a main square can be affected by events and crowds, and our data does not say how this one fares.
Breakfast is listed as continental and buffet. Parking is not mentioned in our data, so check before arriving by car.
