“The Best in Franconian Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

I have brought small groups to Hotel Glocke for several years. Located inside the town wall of Rothenburg ob der Tauber right in front of the famous Plönlein Tower, Hotel Glocke's location can't be beat.

Although there isn't an elevator, the quality and size of the rooms is quite amazing for such an old building. Sure, some of the floorboards sag and creak a bit, but this simply adds to the charm. The bathrooms have been modernized and have all the comforts you;ll need.

The food here is outstanding - be sure to try the Sauerbraten paired with one of their own Franconian wines - that's my favorite when I am in Rothenburg.

The service is very friendly and efficient. The owner seems to be present daily and she takes a hands-on approach to ensure the guests are all satisfied. And be sure to try the adjacent wine shop - they are proud of their own wines, have a fantastic selection, and the direct-from-the-maker prices are extremely good - especially for Rothenburg!

Whether staying as a guest or just using the restaurant, you can't miss with Hotel Glocke!

“Great location, traditional comfort and service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Located at the most photographed point in rothenburg and handy to both the main street and the walls. We enjoyed walking the walls, especially on a rainy day. A great way to get to the abbey museum which has a vast range of exhibits from the local area and an amazing array of medieval armor and weapons. The Glocke hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and the meals were good. The only complaint is the pillows but these seem typical of Germany. Rothenburg is a delightful town, especially if you get away from the main square and the area around the Christmas museum and experience a little more of the ordinary.

“Suggestive location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

Very nice hotel in a very suggestive location in the centre of Rothenburg. Rooms are spacious and clean, some of them with balcony, very confortable bed, bathroom are very clean too.
There isn't a lift, so you have to go up a lot of stairs.
Very good breakfast and friendly staff.
Hotel has free garage.

“Distinctly Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

Good location for town centre. Rate paid €95 per night. Parking €6 per night. Dated hotel which we probably didn't see at its best as the restaurant and bar close on a Sunday evening. Felt a bit lacking in terms of life. Good welcome and nice farewell but nothing much else in between. The town is well worth a visit and we would return but would probably choose a different hotel.

Room Tip: Best not to be at the front due to noise from cobbled street.
