“Plain, but comfortable and priced well.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

This is not a fancy place decorated in the newest fashion- lots of wood, furniture, wallpaper and fabrics straight out of the 60's. We had very large room on 3rd level reached without benefit of an elevator. We could regulate the heat so we were finally able to sleep in a room that wasn't overheated. Odd bathroom arrangement in room #12 - toilet was in its own small room separate from the rest of the bath. Nice feather bed, but one very thin pillow each.The staff was friendly and helpful and had purposely assigned our group rooms at top floor because of the noise from a musical festival which was being hosted on site. Our room had been permeated by cooking odors from the kitchen, traveling companions didn't notice it in their room. Usual German breakfast of cold meats, cheese, fruit and cereal. Things to be aware of when reserving at this location: shops are all closed on Sunday; room 12 has three skylights which will allow light very late at night and very early in morning in summer;; check for schedule of music festival - venues very crowded, smoky and noisy.

Room Tip: Take a sleep mask - light from street on front side and skylights in room 12 on back side.

“Golden vacation in Rothenburg ob der Tauber”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

This pretty, classic german Gasthof is located in the heart of Rothenburg. My wife and I enjoyed one of the uppermost rooms, quiet, with excellent beds and with recently gently renewed modern bathroom. Parking (free) was in the Hof backyard. Although we mostly dined out in town, the Hof offered lovely, tasty dinners as well. We loved being in the center of town, everything within walking distance. There is lots to enjoy in Rothenburg.

“Superb in Every Way--We'd Stay Again in an Instant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

Awesome! We arrived at night, but it was easy to find. They had closed the kitchen, but willingly (very nicely) agreed to cook some food for a hungry family from out of town. They also had parking which was a huge plus. The room for 4 was spacious and clean. Now, the decor. It was great! It was like we were staying in a medieval hunting lodge. It really set the mood for our tour of Rothenburg (which is a must see). In short, great hosts, great food, great service, great room, great decor, and great location (center of town). And the price wasn't bad either. A+.

Room Tip: The room was huge, but the bathroom was on the smaller side in comparison. But, it's Europe so...

“Enjoyed it”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

Traveled here with wife and five year old and we all really enjoyed it. I agree with the other positive reviews, great location, historical house, good restaurant with good, affordable traditional German food and a great breakfast, friendly staff. Rooms were quite and comfortable, although a little spartan and you do get the smells from the restaurant below. My only real complaint though is that the booking.com website says children under a certain age stay free when using existing bedding, but this hotel emailed me and said that is not possible, we will need to change to a triple room. I didn't have time to look for another hotel by then or to compare triple room prices, so I felt a bit let down by this. The room was fine though and we really enjoyed touring Rothenberg ob der Tauber.

“Quaint, Authentic German B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011

person found this review helpful

First off, great location. Just steps from Market Plazt & conveniently located within the walls. No elevator in the building, so expect lots of steps and creaky old floors. We didn't mind though (late 20's and energetic) so it wasn't an issue. Our room was spacious, and comfortable but expect traditional Germany style furnishings. Quick note on beds in Germany: if you request a Queen or double, you will usually get two twin beds pushed together. Staff was very accommodating, especially considering we speak zero German. The free parking lot out back was great, albeit a bit cramped (be careful if your not accustomed to driving a manual). Breakfast was a hearty meal, complete with deli meats and sliced cheese, yogurt, bread and rolls as well as eggs cooked to order. Request the eggs if you want them. We highly recommend the Night Watchman Tour. It began to rain around 7:30 and we were tempted to skip it; however, by 8, it had stopped and we looked into the square to see the tour gathering. Definitely a must see.

Room Tip: They have clear pictures of the rooms on their website. You may want to request a room on the secon...
