I was on a road trip through Germany with my wife. We arrived at 10 pm and had a smooth self check in, which was great. The hotel lays in the middle of both the romantic road and the Castle road, so location is key. It's a rural accomodation: you have to take a detour to get here, and the hotel is surrounded by farm animals and crops. The sky views are amazing, we had a nice big balcony where we had our dinner. There's plenty of parking space for all guests. The bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious and the bathroom was very clean. Breakfast isn't just good, it's amazing!! Absolutely recommend accomodation!

We stayed here on a trip to Rothenburg and it was fantastic. We typically stay out of the main cities while traveling in hope to have a quieter and calmer stay and it worked out nicely. …

This was our second time staying at this family run hotel. The owners remembered us from our previous visit, which was nice. We even got the same room we had last time.  …

Very nice interior in whole hotel. Quiet place thanks to carpeting. Spacious rooms. ||Good beds, too soft pillows, bathroom clean and spacious but needs a bit more care (more storage space, better fan, repair shampoo holder). ||Kids playground at the hotel.||Wifi works perfectly.

Good value for overnight stay.|Not that close to the Romantic Road must see highlights, however, in 45 minutes vicinity by car.|Great clean large rooms.|Unfortunately, sound insulation rather poor so bit noisy. …

Nice hotel for a quiet stay. The dinner in the restaurant is also good. There was live music last time we were there, not sure if it's part of regular dinner program or we were lucky. Will rate it 5 star if there wasn't the farm smell. This location is very close to some pastures.

It was a lovely surprise. We had planned to find a hotel in Rothenburg. It was getting late, then we happened upon Hotel Wender. They were so nice and the accommodations so comfortable, we stayed 3 nights.When we wanted to go hiking, the gentleman at the front desk printed out a topographical map and shared a hike he takes with his family.A wonderful breakfast is included as well.
