Top Rothenburg ob der Tauber Hotel Reviews

Hotel Eisenhut

Hotel Eisenhut

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property situated in the center of town, close to everything. For a 400- to 500-year-old building, we were impressed by how the ambiance stayed true to the age but how the rooms were modernized. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was welcoming and helpful. Once you walk out the front door, you are steps from the market plaza, restaurants, shops, and attractions. If you bring a car, there is parking nearby that must be renewed every two hours except between 8 pm to 8 am. The town is so compact that it was easy to wander around and go back and renew the parking. The hotel staff explained everything perfectly. 100% would stay there again."
