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.

We loved our stay. The location is very convenient and fun. I took off a star because the beds were very uncomfortable so we got very little sleep. Breakfast was an extra fee and wasn’t very good.

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.

The room was simple but really clean and super-cosy. I also loved it’s traditional styled building. And the best thing were friendly and kind staffs, and of course their cute dog!
I used their restaurant, too. Chef’s schnitzel was awesome. For my taste, it was the best schnitzel ever.

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)

This quaint hotel is only a few doors down from the square where the market is. It is so convenient to access the square, the shops and all the restaurants. The hotel is very old and has a lot of character! We got our laundry done here and they had it back the same day! The restaurant is great, the goulash is delicious. The breakfast is well presented and there is lots to eat. The staff were very friendly. I would stay here again.
