This was the most magical, wonderful hotel ever. Dating back to 1142, this place is full of charm and history. Sweet Otto runs the place with his daughter, who owns it. Just book it- it’s incredible. 11/10. I’m not sure what the room was called, but we had the whole front house basically- it was 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a living room, and a terrace with a stunning view of the valley. And for such a great price. Book directly through hotel- it saves you a little money. I only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the spa and game rooms. Thank you Otto for sharing the story of this amazing hotel with us.

Yet again visiting this small star of a hotel in Rothenburg. This is the best place to stay in Rothenburg as I see it. Nice and clean rooms, free wifi and a parking garage (for a fee). Not a summer unless we have a couple of nights there. Will certainly be back again next year.

My fiance and I recently stayed at the hotel for a very wonderful vacation. The hotel itself is a true dream, everything is so lovely and well appointed. The staff are so kind and friendly and make you feel so welcome. With this being a smaller hotel it is very much of a "family feel ". The views out of our room were spectacular and the location was also just perfect. Thank you for making this stay so wonderful.

Absolutely lovely stay. It is a family run hotel and the front staff was ran by the father who is an absolutely lovely man. We were always greeted warmly and was a wealth of information and history. …
