Extremely cute hotel almost right inside the main market square. Had a great breakfast to start the day and they even had a great private parking area as well. The husband and wife that ran the place were extremely friendly, very attentive, and beyond helpful. Would without a doubt recommend a stay here if you want to spend the night within Rothenburg. Of course everyone we interacted with in the area was also very pleasant as well.

We stayed here one night on a 7-day trip from Munich to Frankfurt and so wish we would have planned to stay here longer. The hotel was in the perfect location…a 15-minute walk from the train station and a two-minute walk from the town square. The hotel was very clean and quiet. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was roomy with terrific lighting. The hotel is owned by a husband and wife, and their daughter works there with them. You can tell how much they value their customers and want you to feel at home. The breakfast selection was incredible, and the service was impeccable! Great coffee! I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again! Can’t think of one negative thing to say about our stay!
