“Charming hotel, great location, lovely staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

After several hours on the road we arrived at Rothenberg, parked our car outside the walled village, and proceeded to walk around. Deciding to stay we began looking for lodging and found this lovely hotel. A delightful young lady gave us a chance to look at what I believe was their last available room, and we decided to stay. It was on the third floor and a bit Spartan (it may not have been quite as nice as those others have described), but it worked for us. It was large, very pleasant and clean, and had a good bathroom.

We retrieved our car, it was parked by a valet, and we had a delightful evening in this hotel and village. Wireless was free, but when we couldn't get reception in our room, so we went to the lobby where we had no trouble getting it and enjoyed beers at the same time! The hosts and hotel staff were extremely gracious and informative. Everyone spoke English, and I think the hosts speak several languages. The breakfast was excellent and the location was perfect for exploring this charming, historic town the next day.

My two suggestions would be to (if possible) provide a kettle or coffee pot in the guest room and perhaps a different style pillow. The hotel has the very flat, square pillows I have encountered in other German inns, and we find they don’t provide the head support we like.

However, on any return visit, we would definitely want to stay here again. The hotel is charming, the staff is delightful, the cost is reasonable, and the location is great.

“Fantastic”

I booked this hotel based on the great reviews it has gotten on this site.

What a great little hotel. We arrived to friendly staff, got a fabulous room, the largest i have ever had in Europe, great to have a couch and sitting area away from the bed. Bathroom was very modern and clean.

We had one meal in the hotel restaurant and the food was very nice and the price was good too.

The receptionist was very lovely and made our stay very enjoyable. It was very quiet as we were there in winter so i am not sure what it would be like in the summer.

Great location, we walked to the hotel from the train station without any trouble, approx 10 minutes. Good access to all sites from the hotel.

“Great hotel, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

I'd always avoided Rothenburg until now because I assumed it would be too Disney-esque. Visiting in December was I'm sure very different than coming in midsummer. In any event the town is amazing, and the Hotel Markusturm was a great choice. It's got a fantastic location and valet parking. Upon arrival we were invited to look and several rooms and pick the one we liked best. The owner helped lug our baggage up to our room.
By and large the staff are very attentive and helpful, but some of the younger members of staff were distracted and disengaged. Our waitress forgot several things and was generally pretty sullen.
They brew their own beer, and it is excellent.
In short I will certainly stay here again, but most likely will choose to dine elsewhere.

“Wonderful experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Arrived from Nurnberg by train and had an easy walk to the hotel. What a delight to walk into such a quaint and charming place. Our room was large and very comfortable with a beautifully updated bathroom. We looked right out over the main street into town and had no street noise at all. Breakfast was excellent with made to order eggs if desired. On a night we were going to go out the weather was so bad that we stayed in and had an impromptu "picnic" in the lobby..the owner and her daughter talked with us for quite a while and are delightful.The front desk folks always knew what room we were in and we rarely had to ask for our key. They just handed it to us. If ever in that area again would not hesitate to stay there.

“9th Anniversary German Love Affair”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

This was our 5th trip to this wonderful part of Germany and to this amazing hotel. We spent New Years here where we also celebrated out 9th anniversary. As usual, we were not disappointed! The owners the Berger's made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to make our day very special. We will always return whether it be 2,3 or 4 years, it will always hold a special place in our heart. Thanks again to the Berger's!

Room Tip: We prefer traditional old Germany so chose room 101 or 107.
