Perfect location in Rothenburg

Steps away from the town square the cute little hotel was almost perfect. My only complaint was the showerhead was in a place that if you moved you could either turn it very hot, or turn it off completely. They do have dedicated parking, however not enough for all the guests. But there are plenty of other locations to park. Lovely stay and would say again.

Quaint hotel centrally located in the heart of the city. Exactly what you are looking for when staying in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. When you step outside the hotel you find yourself surrounded by shops and restaurants and stunning views in ever direction. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel offers parking in the back which is great because there is not a lot of off street parking available in the area.

Sehr zentral gelegen aber trotzdem ruhig. Kleines Manko, dass ich an einem Freitag (obwohl allein unterwegs) ohne Reservierung keinen Platz im Restaurant ergattern konnte (bzw. Tisch wäre erst 1 Stunde später verfügbar) - es gibt aber in der Altstadt viele anderen Restaurants. Frühstück war sowas von toll: kein normales Frühstücksbuffet, sondern pro Gast/Zimmer/Gruppe frisch servierten Optionen mit reichlichen Brotkörben, Käse/Schinkenplatten sowie Ei und Kaffee/Saft nach Wunsch. Buffet gab es “lediglich” für die riesigen Obstplatte (sowie Yogurt, und ich glaube auch Cornflakes oder sowas gesehen zu haben)

Our first and last stay

First of all, we would like to thank the owner for a complimentary ride to the hotel. This gave us a good impression of her and we were excited to meet her.

However, she was rather unhelpful and hostile towards us. We asked if she could kindly arrange a taxi for us in advance on our departure day but she refused, replying with a straight “No”. Meanwhile, her staff eagerly told us that he would be happy to call a taxi for us. The room we were staying in was chilly, despite the 3 old and small heaters in the room. When we gave her our feedback via email, requesting for a change of room with preferably more heaters, she responded by saying that there we no available rooms, so she gave us blankets. Regardless, we appreciate having the extra blankets. The next day, we told her that the blankets were of no use and did little to help us stay warm. She told us that we weren’t able to withstand the cold because we were Asian, which leads me to believe that not only was she an unfriendly host, she was also racist. Unfortunately, we had 3 miserable chilly nights and wore 3 layers of merino wool to sleep. In the end, she told us she had an available room that we might be interested in but we declined as the room was equally as cold as ours. Without an upgrade to the old heaters or the inclusion of more heaters in their rooms, they would not be able to provide better service to guests.

What a waste, don't let the reviews fool you.

This hotel is right in the centre of town. An easy walk to the train station. Located above a traditional restaurant, it feels like it probably was hundreds of years ago. There isn’t any elevator so this is not the place for you if you can’t do stairs. The staff were very accommodating. I wish I had stayed an additional night.

You cannot beat the location of this hotel. Yes, the rooms are a bit dated, but the common areas are charming, and the hosts are very friendly. Walking out the door and being in the town square was wonderful. Bring your shampoo, but there was soap. We went in Dec., and there was no problem getting a hotel parking space, but getting through the crowds in the street can be a problem.

This property was located right in old town next to the Rathaus so it was very convenient. The rooms were spacious, but the bathrooms were a bit tight. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We also ate at the hotel restaurant one night and the food was great. One note for those who come by car. The hotel has free parking but it does fill up. Luckily we arrived early. I was also unaware that you could drive your car into old town so we at first paid to park outside of the town walls. The entrance looked more like a pedestrian gate than a road that you could take, but that was where our GPS was telling us to go. You can indeed drive into old town.

We had a very pleasant stay here. The building is very old, like most in Rothenburg, but our room must have been remodeled recently. The furnishings were very modern and high quality. We ran into traffic on our way, so we arrived after the 8 pm check in time. We called ahead though, so they were able to accommodate us. The hotel is attached to a restaurant, and the same staff manages both. The restaurant closes at 9 pm. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Both were very good. Our room was overlooking the courtyard, which included the small beer garden and parking area. The room was quiet and comfortable.
