Holiday Inn - the niu, Leo Nuremberg by IHG
The rooms were great, the location was perfect for catching the subway into the city. The only problem was they offered dinner but didnt have a real kitchen. They could only cook one single pizza at a time that took 20 minutes each. Most of their menu items were unnavialable. There werenyt many restaurants ...
