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.

Terrific historic inn. Central location, and welcoming staff. Gigantic breakfast included in the room rate. Only challenge is driving on the tight historic streets and parking in the tight lot behind the inn. You’ve earned your beer once you’ve managed to put your car away for the night.

Location, location, location

You cannot beat the location of this hotel. Yes, the rooms are a bit dated, but the common areas are charming, and the hosts are very friendly. Walking out the door and being in the town square was wonderful. Bring your shampoo, but there was soap. We went in Dec., and there was no problem getting a hotel parking space, but getting through the crowds in the street can be a problem.

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)

ローデンブルクのメインの通りにあり、場所は観光には最高だった。鉄道旅行のため、駅からは遠く、途中石畳が多かったため、移動には苦労した。部屋にはエレベータがなく、レストラン内の内庭から出入りすることとなり、これも若干不便だった。エアコンや冷蔵庫がなかったが、 町自体が森に囲まれているため、空気がよく暑苦しいことはなかった。設備も古いが、それなりに雰囲気がある。町自身にほとんどスーパーマーケットはなかったが、レストランや水やアイスクリームを売っている店が多数あり不便なことはなかった。特に入場料が必要な施設もほとんどなく、町自身が非常に美しく長い時間街歩きを楽しめる。また、近くに色々な良い店があり、ショッピングも楽しめる。 朝食は個別に十分な量のパンやハム類及び飲み物が準備され、また、果物等が自由に食べれるようになっている。特に内庭のテラスでの朝食は大変気持ちがよかった。
