This was without question the best hotel of the ten we stayed in on this trip. Right in the center of the old town, with a very roomy private outdoor parking area just around the corner. Rates for the parking were reasonable. The hotel itself is deceptively large, once you enter the small entryway. There is a game room and several lounging areas, a couple cozy ones downstairs and a larger one on the second floor (that's the first floor if you're from Europe). I think it was the owner who checked us in. Super friendly and helpful. Very nice woman. Other staff were equally friendly and helpful. We booked a room for three, and were stunned when we opened the door to a spacious beautifully decorated two bedroom apt. with a king bed in the main room, and a twin and a bunk bed in the second. Beds were some of the most comfortable we had in all of Germany. Everything was spotless. Each room had its own private bath. Bathroom fixtures were very high end, water pressure great. Cable TV. View from our room was amazing, overlooking the historic double bridge just outside the town, which is a very pleasant walk away. Breakfast was buffet style and absolutely delicious. We were so sad to leave this place. Staying here was one of the highlights of our trip.

“Great location, nice hotel, good breakfast, surprised to not have A/C”

In searching for hotels for our 2-week jaunt around Germany/Austria, we were looking for places that had 1) Air conditioning, 2) Parking, 3) Breakfast, and 4) A room setup that worked for our family.

In searching for hotels for our 2-week jaunt around Germany/Austria, we were looking for places that had 1) Air conditioning, 2) Parking, 3) Breakfast, and 4) A room setup that worked for our family. This hotel fit the bill. Parking was indeed easy, breakfast was good, and the room setup was awesome (one bedroom for us, separate room with bunk beds for the kids, and a gigantic common room in between). The location was AWESOME- one block from the Plonlein and an easy walk to the walls or anything else you wanted. However, when we got there we found the room was not air-conditioned, despite having email assurances from the staff they we had a room with A/C. As it turned out, the temperature dropped 20 degrees and it was bearable those two days, but if we had been there the day before it would have been extremely hot. We kept the windows open which worked for some rooms but not the bunk bed room because it was on the fire escape and we didn't feel comfortable with that. The staff did dig up a small fan to use the second night which helped. The shower situation was difficult- a tub with a wand. We had 76-year-old parents in another room and they were unable to use it. I get it, it's an old building in an old city so it doesn't have all the modern amenities. Overall, it was a good choice for us but the A/C was promised and we didn't really research the shower.

“Excellent Option for this Medieval Town”

Small, quaint but generally modernized where it counts. Room bathrooms are excellent. Air conditioning isn't great but acceptable for Europe. Staff friendly and courteous.

“A comfortable central choice for Rothenburg”

Generally impressed with this hotel even before laying our heads down. The pre-visit communication from the hotel was very good and when we arrived someone came out and led us to the car park. The welcome was very friendly and the hotel felt comfortable and warm. Our room was a good size and comfortably furnished with plenty of electric sockets and lights. Everything worked well and there was a good shower in the bath. It couldn’t really be in a better location for walking around Rothenburg and though you have to pay for the parking it is very convenient to have. Having a room overlooking the main street was a little bit noisy at times, and the double glazing did not keep the noise out, but it was quiet at night. There was a good choice of food at breakfast, cereals, fruit, dairy, ham, cooked eggs and a selection of juices. The dining room has a great view over the valley. There are no coffee making facilities in the room but the dining room machine was available to guests to make a drink which was a nice touch. All the staff seemed very friendly and helpful.
