Hotel Sonne was outstanding. In the middle of town, close to everything. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. There is no elevator, so be prepared for a few stairs. You can get a dronk from their bar and take it upstairs to a very quiet and private terrace. Highly recommended.

Incredible service and such a lovely, convenient property. My family and I had a memorable experience - possibly the best of our time in Germany. We loved chatting with Isabella and the whole family, and the food was delicious at both breakfast and dinner. Will recommend to any and all people we know going to Rothenburg.

Our family had a fantastic stay at Hotel Sonne! This charming, quaint hotel is in the perfect location, within easy walking distance to all the nearby historical sites. The warm and welcoming staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The hotel has a small parking lot which made it easy to offload luggages. We’d highly recommend Hotel Sonne for anyone looking to enjoy a cozy time in Rothenburg!

A GREAT hotel!

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at in Europe. The most friendly and efficient staff you can imagine. The room was GREAT—modern, but with a wonderful old-world charm. And the breakfast was plentiful and delicious!…and FREE! Look no further: this is the place to stay in Rothenburg ob der Tauber!
