We booked into Rothenburg on our journey down to Bavaria so that our young daughter didn't have a 9-hour car trip. We randomly selected the "Akzent Hotel Gasthaus Schranne" (to give it its full title) after trying to find a hotel with free car parking.
On getting to the medieval walled city I didn't think we would be able to drive in as the roads looked so narrow - but I was assured that we could and so made our way in through the gates. After a couple of missed turnings down scarily narrow streets a large square opened up with lots of parking and the hotel was located at the top (30 seconds walk - if that). If wasn't totally free - if we had stayed beyond 10 am we would have had to pay a Euro - but getting there after 4pm it was free.
The hotel was in a lovely location, less than a minute from the wall (that you can climb and walk around the city). The room was spotless and character filled (I guess - I just mean not modern). The bathroom was quite small - but totally satisfactory. The staff were very friendly and pleasant. We would stay again if we happened to be in that part of the world...
