Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Number One, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (e.g. 5th floor and above) due to the hotel's location on Münchener Straße, a main street in Nürnberg with moderate traffic. This should help reduce street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance (likely on lower floors, possibly around the 1st or 2nd floor) might experience some noise from staff and deliveries. Additionally, rooms near the lift might be more prone to noise from guests and the lift's operation.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Münchener Straße doesn't offer a direct view of notable landmarks or scenic areas. However, higher floors might provide a view of the surrounding cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 and above are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and higher elevation.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for moderate street noise from Münchener Straße, which is a main street in Nürnberg. The hotel's location on a busy street means that noise from traffic and possibly nearby bars or restaurants might be a consideration.

Top Attractions in Nürnberg
💡 Go early morning (10am) or late afternoon (3pm) when artisans are actually working, not just displaying items. Avoid noon lunch break.
💡 Stand by the golden ring on the Schöner Brunnen and make a wish—locals do it. The clock on Frauenkirche chimes at noon showing elector figures.
💡 Visit on a Saturday morning for the biggest farmers' market. Grab a Bratwurst from one of the stands—€3.50, cash only.
💡 Avoid lunchtime (12:00-14:00) when it's packed. Best to visit mid-afternoon. Buy a 'Nürnberger Bratwurst' from the stall – 3.50€ and decent. The shops are touristy, but the atmosphere is genuine.
💡 Watch goldsmiths in their tiny workshops. No need to buy; just watching costs nothing. Great for rainy days.
💡 Skip the paid interior; walk the ramparts at sunset for best light. The free 'Sinwell Tower' climb costs 1.50 EUR but worth it.
💡 Buy a Lebkuchen (gingerbread) from the bakery—€2, and it’s locally made, not tourist mass-produced.
💡 Go on Wednesday for free entry. The house has narrow stairs and no lift. The free audio guide is excellent for context. Allow 45 minutes. Combine with the Tiergärtnertorplatz just outside.
