Hotel Merian Rothenburg

8/10 Good

"Booket en enkelt overnatning i september på vej til Italien. Fint rent værelse og toilet - ingen aircondition, men dog en bordventilator. Morgenmaden fin, med god smag og varieret. Kort gang til den gamle bydel (10 min) og gratis parkering foran hotellet. Sød og hjælpsom receptionist, der gav os lov til at komme et kvarter før til morgenmaden, da vi skulle køre tidligt. Anbefales😊👍"

Hotel Rothenburger Hof

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in a great location for easy walking into Rothenburg. Free parking which is always a bonus. Nice big room, only slight downside for me was the bed was a bit too firm, but that’s just personal preference. Breakfast was lovely with lots of variety. Big shout out to Katherine, lovely receptionist who was funny, super friendly and made us feel very welcome. As is the way in Germany, you don’t get tea making facilities in your room, but Katherine happily made a flask of hot water, provided tea and milk at no extra charge. Thank you for making our stay so memorable, we would definitely return xx"

Hotel zum Breiterle - Self-Check-In

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place, very charming, super clean and really pet friendly. Location is just perfect within the old town"

Hotel & Café Göller

8/10 Good

"This small hotel is recently under new ownership and the rooms are in the process of being refurbished. We had a lovely newly refurbished family room but also saw a double room that was very dated. The common areas are also very old fashioned and badly in need of renovation. However the charming new owner clearly has a plan for both the rooms and the cafe and we wish him every success as I’m sure he can retain the character of the hotel whilst bringing it into the 21st century."
