Where to stay in Nordshausen
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Most people who visit Nordshausen sleep elsewhere in Kassel and come out for the day, since the district's draw is Burg Nordshausen and the quiet ground around it rather than a run of guesthouses. Hotel beds are rare here. Kassel carries the accommodation, and Nordshausen keeps the castle.
You will want a room closer to the centre if evenings matter, but a stay beside Burg Nordshausen rewards anyone happy to trade nightlife for stillness.
