Clean room, friendly staff and good breakfast. Hotel is quite old and some amenities did not work properly or were broken (bathtub, elevator). Otherwise very good stay and very conveniently located in the heart of Rothenburg with their own parking located in the next street. It is a 5 minute walk to the market square and hotel located right at the Plönlein. We enjoyed our Rothenburg experience a lot and will come again!

Perfect location with best view outside front door. I’m even though inside old city, there was parking for rental car. Staff was excellent accommodating our check-in and request for a corner room. Excellent breakfast and beautiful lobby to relax.

Nice hotel. We had an issue which they cleared up quickly. Breakfast was wonderful. There is a games room with pool and air hockey tables for free. Large sitting room upstairs where groups could sit and talk comfortably. Excellent location. Would stay again!

We have stayed at this location during the Imperial City Days celebration. We love the connivence of being close to the shops and activities. Plus we are far enough from the Marktplatz that we are not disturbed by all the noise or blocked due to events. They have a typical breakfast with meats, cheese, breads and cake. It is cozy and I will return to the same location when I’m in the area.

Best hotel in Rothenburg

The hotel is extremely beautiful with a nice view to the valley and right in the center of the old town. The hotel team is very kind. Rooms are comfortable, beautiful and make you feel you're in a movie. Breakfast is very delicous too with fresh food. I stayed there with my wife for out 15th anniversary and they even decorated the room romatically - depite me requesting it last minute. I really appreciated that.

This property was a dream!!!! You step out of the front door and into a medieval town. The parlor rooms were beautiful to sit in at night and talk about all your favorite sites of the day. The staff were great! We met Helga and she was a doll!!! The property is walking distance to all the sights. I highly recommend and would definitely revisit!

Excellent stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We are a family of 4 and had a little section of the hotel, with 2 rooms and a corridor. We weren't expecting so much space. The view out of our room was over looking through valley and along the town walls. There was a large games room, where we played pool and air hockey. The breakfast was included and delicious! The staff were really helpful and lent us phone chargers, as we had lost our luggage at the airport. The hotel was right in the centre of town and parking was easy. Really loved our stay here.

We had a wonderful two-night stay at Hotel Goldener Hirsch. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and well appointed, and we all found the beds comfortable. We loved the common areas on the first and second floors-nice places to sit and read while waiting for other members of our party. Breakfast was lovely. The hotel offered a nice selection of foods in what I would call traditional German style. Lastly, the location of the hotel makes it easy to walk to the center of town, the kriminalsmuseum and other key areas. Overall, this was a great place to stay and we would definitely return if coming to Rothenberg in the future.
