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.
