Excellent location for Christmas Market in Nuremberg.
7 minute walk from train station and also 7 min walk to the center of Xmas market. Room size is not big, but sufficient. Breakfast is ok.
My only concern is internet connection can be intermittent.

Room was clean and overlooked one of the main streets so we like the liveliness but may not be for others who are looking for a quieter place. We enjoyed our stay of 1 night. We did not try breakfast. We were able to leave our bags with the front desk after check out. Their front desk is not open 24 hours so those arriving or late will have to use a lockbox.

Quaint sweet hotel
Great little hotel, close to the christmas market. Parking was a little awkward, but the parkhaus was very cool. We took a few minutes to drop off luggage at the front of the hotel then i went to park.

This hotel was amazing located right in old town and a short walk to everything. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast had the perfect variety. The best thing about Hotel Gideon is the staff. They went above and beyond and did the best they could with any of my requests. I highly recommend you stay at this property.
