Romantik Hotel Markusturm

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in the heart of Rothenburg. They provide valet parking which makes my life easy. They provide a hearty breakfast with good service."

Hotel Eisenhut

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Eisenhut. The hotel is right in the heart of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and staying inside the walls of the medieval city was a fantastic experience. We could simply walk out the door and explore the historic streets, shops, restaurants, and sights on foot. Our room was outstanding, with a comfortable bed, a beautiful bathroom, and plenty of character. The highlight was the incredible view from our room. We had an unobstructed view across the countryside beyond the town, and it was absolutely wonderful. The hotel itself has a beautiful historic atmosphere while still providing the modern comforts we wanted. It was a perfect fit for the experience of staying in Rothenburg and made the visit feel even more special. The location really could not have been better for exploring the town. We loved being able to enjoy Rothenburg in the evening and morning when things were quieter, without needing to drive anywhere. A beautiful historic hotel, fantastic views, and a wonderful place to stay while experiencing Rothenburg ob der Tauber. If you are traveling by car, make sure that you request a parking space for your stay."

Hotel Garni Altes Brauhaus

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel. Period. Amazing location with a parking garage underneath for a reasonable rate, and a sizable room. We traveled with our two adult sons and they each got their own twin size bed, which worked out really well. The breakfast was great and the service and staff were all wonderful. The hotel is actually quite huge, but with several quiet outdoor spaces, it never felt crowded. It was a quick walk to the main sites we wanted to see, so we were very happy with it."

Prinzhotel Rothenburg

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was lovely, very clean, and in a great location. We really enjoyed our stay. We contacted the hotel beforehand to ask about air conditioning and were told they did not offer AC. Our first night was very hot, and after complaining a few times, we requested an additional fan. The next morning, we were able to upgrade for an additional fee to a room with AC, which they do have in some rooms, and we were very happy with the upgrade. I believe there may have been a language barrier, so if AC is important to you, I recommend being very clear when booking and confirming that your specific room has air conditioning."
