We had such an amazing stay. The hotel is in the perfect location, so much to see and explore in the little town. The breakfast was delicious, and lots of little extra details were provided, such as sparkling water for our drive. Lovely decor and helpful staff. The only thing we wish, is that we stayed longer. Highly recommend you stay here!
Cute decor in lobby, tables for breakfast or drinks.

Loved our stay here! We were right in the center of Rothenburg ob der Tauber so everything is just steps away. Super clean room. The amazing staff speaks flawless English and took great care of us including helping with our luggage up and down the stairs. Breakfast is varied and ample. The only downsides are due to the fact you are in a medieval town in a medieval updated building hence no elevator and minimal expensive parking.
