Christian, the owner, is very friendly and really takes the time to chat with his guests. Breakfast was very good, you preorder what you want to eat to avoid food waste which is a good idea. You can always order more if you feel like it. I highly recommend this place. Rooms were clean and quiet and location is perfect.

I stayed with my grandma and sister here in Rothenburg ob Der Tauber. Christian the owner was very kind and accommodating and he was the only staff here other than the cleaning lady who was also very friendly. The room had a cute view, I booked last minute in the middle of summer with no issue. The only unfortunate part was that there was no A/C but this is of course very common in Europe. Very close to the Markplatz.

A very nice place and a lovely host. Our room was small but quiet, clean and functional. Breakfast buffet was made into ‘serve-to-table’ due to COVID restrictions. This worked very well and our host was attentive and helpful and would refill everything on request.

It was a very cozy pension just inside the city walls. It had a free parking area nearby the hotel, but outside the city walls. The host, Christian, and his family was very friendly, pleasant and helpful. …

My wife and I stayed four days. It is perfectly located within easy walking distance of everything in the old city, and just 50m from the wall and public parking. …

We stayed at the Pension for the third weekend in July 2017. Arrived there, we were greeted very warmly and soon we were handed the keys to the rooms. …

Made the reservation based on their pics on the web, which showed bright updated rooms. Got a very outdated bunk room with a very dimly lit bathroom across the hall. We were the only ones in the 3 story building annex. Stairs were not lit until you went to the top to turn on the light. Hotel equipment stored by stairs. VERY noisy all night long -- lots of traffic for this little town. Would not recommend anyone stay there unless you are looking for a bunk house, very rustic experience.

The pension was well situated inside the town wall of Rothenburg on der Tauber, and made the inside of the town very walkable. The rooms were very clean, made up in a timely manner in the morning.  …
