This is one of the most incredible hotels we have ever stayed in! It’s a family-run hotel, and it is absolutely beautiful! They made our experience from check-in to check-out so incredibly pleasant, and it’s a stay we won’t forget - we hope to go back and visit again!
Their breakfast, lunch, and dinner options were superb, and it was wonderful being able to simply walk down the stairs and enjoy such delicious foods! The owner and his daughter run the place together, and they are so kind and truly want their guests to have a great experience.
The room was spacious and pristine - exactly what we needed for our group. They even had a ridiculously comfortable cot waiting for our daughter to sleep on - she was so comfy that it was tough getting her to get out of bed, and this is the child who routinely wakes us up before sunup when we’re at home.
Go to Rothenburg. Stay here. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make!

If you are visiting Rothenburg ob der Tauber, this is the place to stay. Our hotel was located right in the heart of one of the most photographed and beautiful areas of the entire town, and every time we stepped outside it felt like walking into a postcard.

The room was absolutely wonderful — charming, comfortable, beautifully maintained, and full of the character that makes Rothenburg so magical. But what truly made this stay unforgettable was the hospitality. The owners and staff treated us less like guests and more like family. Their warmth and kindness made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived.

And the breakfast… absolutely out of this world. Fresh breads, pastries, meats, cheeses, fruit, coffee — every detail was beautifully prepared and delicious. It was one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve ever experienced.

This hotel became part of the magic of our time in Rothenburg, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone planning a visit here. We will never forget it.

A very charming hotel. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We stayed three nights and enjoyed every minute of it. There were many shops and restaurants in the village which made it even more special. The hotel does offer breakfast which was very good. There was a bakery across the street that had great pastries and all kinds of coffee to choose from. Great hotel and would highly recommend it.

The property was very charming with lots of character and you can see why it features in so many pictures of the area.

The family have kept it in keeping with it's history and it's in a very good location.

Breakfast was lovely, although after a few days became a bit boring, but that is often the case.

The room was nice, we had a family room for 5 with a terrace, but my Son had the trundle bed, which he found very uncomfortable.

It was exceptionally warm and we had to just keep fans on all night as no air conditioning. And limited access to chilled water, there was a supply of two bottles of water in the fridge for the 3 nights, which are not replenished daily. I became unwell and asked my daughter if she could fetch a cold bottle of water, which we were charged for and wasn't cold. (The temperatures were mid to high 30 degrees).

It was my birthday, so we booked a table, but then because I wasn't feeling well and not looking forward to wintry/heavy type food we needed to cancel. I didn't want to disclose that my tummy wasn't feeling right as it was quite personal and was hoping to relieve my symptoms. I felt immensely guilty and under pressure to eat, but I just couldn't and there was nothing my children would like, the lady on reception was understanding but the owner not so much. I was trying to push myself to be up and about as well (It turned out I had kidney stones).
Parking charge was a bit of a surprise.
It's nice but not the greatest experience.

The property & proprietors are great. The service & staff friendly & attentive. Breakfast was good. The location is within walking distance to all attractions.

My only complaint is that this property does not have air conditioning or an elevator. Our room was #130. It was the furthest from the reception (~4 separate levels) & being a high floor the room stayed at 30c/86f! That is HOT! All blinds were closed & windows kept open at night. I asked for a 2nd fan & it was immediately delivered. However, the hotel must know this room can get hot & perhaps a portable AC unit should be brought in for extreme heat...or extra bottles of water. The hotel did offer to let us change rooms for our last night but it didn’t make sense to spend time packing just to unpack & repack to leave. Other than the extreme heat- this is a well kept rustic property in a great location.

This is a charming old German hotel. I believe it has been in the same family for many years. The staff was so friendly and welcoming and made sure our stay was good. We were there in March so it was not busy. The breakfast was lovely! We would definitely stay there again!
Make sure you do the Night Watchman tour - it was an excellent way to end the day in Rothenburg!

We loved the building. Even though there was no aircon the fan worked beautifully. The one thing missing is a small fridge as there was no way to keep our water cool. Also some meds need to be stored in a fridge so that was a let down. The room had plenty of space to put a small fridge. We are planning on coming back to Rothenburg but would book accommodation that suits this problem which would be pity as we loved the location.

Nice big rooms. Stayed in room 121 which was bright and airy and modern compared to other rooms and had a large bath tub with shower within the tub. It also had a nice view over a pedestrian route and lovely old world charm buildings.

Ala carte continental breakfast had variety with cheese, tomatoes, cured meats, yoghurt, cooked eggs, pancakes, some fruit etc.

Assistance with luggage provided up the stairs when checking in.

Great location within old town. Short 3 minute walk to main square and tourist information office.

15 minute walk to train station.

The fact that we looked out our bathroom window at a medieval fortress wall, and the historic nature of the hotel made it extremely memorable. We loved walking into the town square and around the town from the hotel. We did have a little challenge with getting our breakfasts, but once those were resolved, we had a very pleasant experience.

The staff and owners were extremely friendly and helpful! We enjoyed our stay so much, we extended another night! Perfect setting to enjoy the slower pace of the town. Especially after the tours leave and the town is quiet! 8PM there is a nightwatchman tour-they advised us to go to. Really enjoyed! Thank you for your hospitality!

This hotel is in an historic building inside the old city walls. The rooms are well-appointed, comfortable, and clean. The lighting is nice and warm and there are heavy drapes (not full blackout but dark). There is hotel parking about 5 minutes away on foot. The staff is very kind and friendly. Breakfast was a good value and quite delicious. We definitely recommend and would return on future visits.

Magical hotel

Wonderful stay at the beautiful Hotel Markusturm in Rothenburg! From the moment we arrived we felt the magic of this magnificent town. The hotel is truly picturesque just as the rest of the town of Rothenburg! The employees are very welcoming and kind. Breakfast was just right. Unlike the other hotels we stayed in Bavaria, they serve the breakfast and deliver most anything to your liking. We had some laundry needing a wash. The hotel has a 24 hour laundry service. They delivered our fresh clothing to our room within a day. We highly recommend staying at this comfortable and perfect location within the city walls of Rothenburg!

Super Hotel Not Matched by the Service

Beautiful building in a perfect central location. Comfortable room with spectacular bathroom. Service was poor overall. My wife and I were not made to feel welcome from check-in which was consistent throughout our stay. If you do not much care for hospitality, I would recommend. If you are looking for more effort, there are many other central options.

Perfection!!! We had the deluxe quadruple suite, room 101 and it was amazing! The breakfast which is included with room was beautiful and there was plenty to eat. The location is in the middle of the beautiful town of Rothenburg. It is a short and easy walk from the train station. The hotel is full of antiques and the historic building is a treat to stay in. Try to have dinner in the restaurant the food is very good! Also, try and stay at least two nights. The town is great to walk around before and after the tour buses arrive and leave.

Absolutely charming and full of history

Absolutely charming historic hotel with amazing staff! We really enjoyed our stay, the staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the history of the place. This hotel has quite the story behind it and still contains part of the original wall that was built around the city (that was later torn down to expand). Very convenient and wonderful. If driving get directions prior to arrival, our GOS tried to bring us in on a one way street and was a little stressful.

Excellent place. We all enjoyed the room. Everyone was very courtesy. Only thing is you have to unload in an area where cars are going down a very small street. This is normal for an older area. After u load you do need to drive the hill and park. Very close so that’s great. The area has exclusive shopping and so many areas to get food. Just make sure you make reservations. I suspect most places are delicious, I know ours was
