The location is fantastic. We had the family room and another room on top level for a family of 6. The listing said they were double beds but they were actually the size of American King beds.
It was very clean. The restaurant is the main business and it smelled fantastic. We ate there our last night and it was the best meal we had in Germany! Delicious!

The half-timbered buildings, cobbled streets and brightly painted façades of medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber wouldn’t be out of place in a fairytale. Several fantastical films have been set in this gem on the scenic Romantic Road, passing from Würzburg to Füssen via Bavaria’s most enchanting towns.
Uniquely designed gates allow access to the historic centre through walls partly covered with tiled roofs. Walking along the walls offers a different perspective of the town’s colourful flowers, step gables and towers. The town hall has the tallest tower, whose far-reaching views include the large Marktplatz, home of the Christmas market. The Christmas Museum is a year-round winter wonderland, as is the shop of Käthe Wohlfahrt, the internationally renowned German Christmas decoration producer.
On a different note, the Crime Museum houses medieval torture instruments including a ducking stool. Holy Blood and Last Supper altarpieces form the focal point of towering St James’ Church, a stop on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route.
In the River Tauber valley outside the centre are lush gardens, one containing Toppler Castle, a bizarre structure resembling a house on a tower. Also in the valley is a double-arched stone bridge.
The Rothenburg ob der Tauber accommodation on Booking.com includes traditional guest houses and family hotels with a spa and parking.

Beautiful town and we were very happy we included it on our...
Beautiful town and we were very happy we included it on our tour. Walking the wall was a great experience but you really don't have to walk the whole thing. We were there in the shoulder season, March, and pretty much nothing opened, shops & museums, until 2pm when the tour busses arrived. We specifically stayed overnight because of advice to be there without "hordes" of tourists and to see the town lit up. Problem was that there isn't any exterior lighting and we had the town pretty much to ourselves all morning. When the tour busses leave it turns into a ghost town. Shops close, which are all cheap tourist shops and not interesting anyway. Also, we had an extremely difficult time finding a place for dinner. There aren't many restaurants and because of that reservations are required. Happy we saw the town but spending six hours would have been enough.

Old town is the place to be.
Old town is the place to be. Beautiful architecture, history and it really feels like you are in Pinocchio’s fairytale village. Worth visiting and you don’t need more than 2-3 nights to fully explore it. And you can walk everywhere.

We stayed three nights and spent 2-1/2 days in the old town.
We stayed three nights and spent 2-1/2 days in the old town. We’ve been here many times but there’s plenty to see and do. We recommend the Rothenberger Handworker’s house tour, an ancient house unchanged since the 1700s, St Jakob’s church, the criminal museum, the night watchman’s tour, and walking the town’s perimeter walls and towers. These help illustrate medieval life and how people lived back then, and how good we have it today!

This is a stunning walled medieval town!
This is a stunning walled medieval town! You can walk around most of the wall - stork nests can be seen if you look carefully! Every street is beautiful with gift shops and cafes. The castle gardens are great to relax in and at the bottom you are rewarded with an amazing view down to the river Tauber.

Its indeed a Fairytale town (fortified).
Its indeed a Fairytale town (fortified).
One night stay would be perfect to enjoy the old town´s colorful buildings and architecture with many towers standing high at every corner of the old town guarded by city walls (Day view and Night view of the old is must).
It has a very rich heritage to tell as you stroll through the old town wondering why this was built and the purpose. This curiosity was sated by the night watchman´s 1hr guided tour that starts in Market square.
The city wall is one of amazing structure which I had never seen before that runs through out the town like a fortress hiding behind is the beautiful buildings from medieval age still preserved with many reconstructed.
There are many places to visit and for me the Rothenburg museum was the best to know about the history, going back in time (approx. 700 yrs).
Plenty of restaurants and food was pretty good too, best snack "Schnee ball"
I wish I would visit this town again on a full moon night :-)

My family loves to visit Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
My family loves to visit Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The town is very walkable and there are plenty of places to explore for a few days. Check out the museum's and take your time walking through the park outside the walls. If staying overnight take a trip with the nightwatchman. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is beautiful in Autumn and magical at Christmas.

A simple, quaint hotel, great location; close proximity to the town centre. A 30 minute stroll.
It was a good atmosphere in the hotel. The staff were attentive, helpful and accommodating.
We ate dinner at the restaurant, it was good value for money. Authentic German cuisine.
Breakfast was an additional cost, we felt it was overpriced although there was a good selection of food.
We stopped here as part of our journey on the Romantic Road
We would consider staying here again if we returned to Rothenburg
Very good traditional German guesthouse right in the centre of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, about 900 metres from the railway station. It is in one of those cute, old half-timbered houses. The owner was friendly and upgraded me to a double room. The room was basic but very clean. Breakfast was also good with varieties of bread, cheese, cold cuts, yoghurt, fruit and berries. As a bonus, there was a small general store downstairs, owned by the same family, and a very good kebab place next door.
The location is excellent, inside the historic walls. The building has a certain charm, and even if old, it is in a very good shape. The room was spacious, simple, but nicely decorated and welcoming. The bathroom was large, nice and very clean. The garage is part of the building and you can reach it also from the inside. Very good breakfast, unlike other hotels in Germany. Very friendly and helpfull staff.
Stayed at the hotel with the family for 1 night during our road trip. The location was great since it's located in town's center (old town), private parking at the facility. The room was cozy and clean with comfy beds except the (puffy) pillows - but that's a matter of habit. The staff was very kind and the breakfast was delicious with vast options. Would stay again when in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
A gem of a find. The staff were professional and friendly, the breakfast was delicious, but the main thing that impressed me was the exquisite room. Decorated so beautifully! This hotel felt a step above many of the other hotels we have stayed in in Germany.
Located in the old town, close to all main attractions in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Staff were very hospitable and host offered us a drink of welcome, which was very nice gesture. Room is small, but it has everything you need. Wi-fi works well.
The room was very clean and the hotel staff and reception were all very friendly and helpful. Also, the hotel's location is central and conveniently close to the main square and the market. The hotel's breakfast was typical of German cuisine.
The B&B has everything that you can think of in the room. Very convenient!
The flower in front of the hotel breakfast room are really pretty and welcoming.
The location of the hotel he best! So convenient and close to the center.
