We just returned from what was without a doubt a perfect wellness weekend in the newly renovated & recently re-opened Hotel Goldene Rose in Dinkelsbühl. The hotel is located right in the middle of Dinkelsbühl's historic town centre. This little gem a town is still surrounded by the old medieval walls and towers. The entire town centre is beautifully maintained in it's original medieval style. From the second we walked through the the doors until we left, we couldn't get enough of the amazing architecture & the atmosphere of the hotel. The architects have managed a perfect symbiotic connection between old & new. The hotel is housed in several buildings that are also connected from inside. We stayed in one of the Rosen Studios which are a little further from the main building. You can still get to the wellness spa on the top floor of the main building in the fluffy bathrobes & slippers provided by the hotel without having to leave the building :-) The connection goes through the wonderful Rosensaal theater/ cinema where occasionally live performances are shown. The spa area is beautifully integrated into the top floors under the roof with visible beams that have held this building up for over 400 years. In fact, the original beams can be seen all over the hotel. Imagine if the walls could talk... I'm sure they would have a story or two to tell :-) The outdoor rooftop pool is very inviting. With it's beautifully designed roof, this can be used in any weather. We had several treatments in the spa. The staff were super professional & extremely friendly.  I can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed. We booked with half board. This consisted of a very well sorted & delicious breakfast buffet & a 4 course evening dinner. The food was extremely "lecker'" :-) The staff in all areas, be it Reception, Restaurant & Bar, Wellness & House keeping were all very friendly & helpful with any questions that came up. It's hard to write anything negative about this wonderful hotel but to be fair I should mention it. There were a few minor details that I missed during our stay. Some things I didn't actually need during my stay but others might have. 1.The studios have a small kitchenette with cooking facilities. There were pots but no plates or cutlery other than cups, tea spoons & chopping knives. I wasn't cooking but others using the facility will need these things. I also missed a cloth or tea towel to wipe up a small spill after making some coffee using the capsule coffee machine which is also part of the studio's features. 2. I would liked to have had some hooks in the bathroom to hang my bathrobe. Instead I used hangers in the wardrobe. 3. There were some drinks in the minibar but no information in the room to indicate if these were included in the room price or how much they cost. I also would liked to have had some general information like the breakfast times or spa opening hours. I've been told that this info will be available on the TVs soon. For some old school people like me it would be nice to see this in written form too. 4. Another small but important thing that I missed was a "do not disturb" sign to hang on our door. On the day of our departure the room service knocked on or door at approx 9:45 AM. The latest check out time is 11am.  Luckily we were already up & had just returned from breakfast..... We had however not checked out yet. If I hadn't answered the door, would they have come in....?? I'm still giving this beautiful hotel 5 stars as the overall experience was fantastic. Anything I missed & needed during my stay was immediately taken care of with a friendly smile. I'm certain that the rest will be taken care of soon. After all they've only been open since mid Dec 2022 :-) I know this review is very looooong, but trust me.... This hotel deserves the attention & Dinkelsbühl is such a beautiful town.  It's well worth the visit.

“Beautiful hotel. Beautiful location.”

My family stayed in Dinkelsbühl as a stop on our European road trip, when we arrived we parked our car (which is quite an ordeal) and then a receptionist checked us in and showed us around our hotel. The hotel doesn’t offer a valet service, so they recommend you park in a car park located just outside the city, if you aren’t lucky enough to grab a space in the city. I stayed in the Queen Victoria suite. The room was very nice and modern with a lovely view of the church. The hotel is located in prime location, right in the middle of the old town, and all the restaurants are only a short walk away. That night we had drinks in the bar, the service was quite good and so were the drinks. In the rooms it was a little hot, and the underfloor cooling could only work to a certain extent. The next morning we had breakfast in the hotel. It was delicious with a wide range of food, and local cuisine. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this modern hotel, in the heart of Dinkelsbühl.

“Perfect if you put historic above luxury.”

A five hundred year old hotel with secure parking for a motorbike. Sure, it is not luxury but when it comes to ambience it ticks the boxes. The stairs are like the leaning tower of Pisa.

A five hundred year old hotel with secure parking for a motorbike. Sure, it is not luxury but when it comes to ambience it ticks the boxes. The stairs are like the leaning tower of Pisa. The bed was comfortable and the shower hot. Typical German breakfast and that is not bad. The secure parking for the bike and the central location in town were both clinchers. I could have put "LOUD" in noise level as it was Whitsun/Pentecost and the church bells were manic!!!!!!! I think anyone within 5km would have heard them.

“Beautiful old building”

As the Hotel Goldene Rose is very old I did not expect (or even want) all the experiences and conveniences of a modern hotel. The whole point was to stay somewhere old where the staircase had a bit of a slant to it, the woodwork was old and so on. Our room was small but adequate, the ensuite bathroom a bit of a squeeze but really who cares? We were after atmosphere and character! We found the hotel very comfortable in the centre of town. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent as is so often the case in Germany. we had dinner there one night, sitting outside on a warm evening. There were ample amounts of food, pork featuring quite a bit although my daughter had delicious fish. I would rate the cuisine as rustic rather than fine dining. However, we all enjoyed our meal.
