This is the perfect picturesque hotel when traveling through Germany. Family run and quality maintained but the highlight should be the restaurant which will either introduce you to, or reaffirm your love affair with the regional cuisine that is prepared perfectly. Don;t miss this hotel - it's the entire package in one!

Nice restaurant, very traditional location and ambiance, unfortunately with an inefficient temperature (I‘m not a friend of air condition but it was really very hot). Food was really good especially the meat was of high quality and regionally grown - so definitely a place to come again.

Had some appointments in Heilbronn Area but finding a reasonably priced hotel overthere was quite complicated. Found "Zum Ochsen" and I must say I happy that I booked my stay here. …

Stayed 2 nights for a wedding. Room was clean, nothing fancy but perfectly acceptable. Dinner at the restaurant was excellent and breakfast had decent selection. Only downside was the church immediately across the street.  …

The Ochsen (Ox) is a charming family run hotel and probably the best option to stay in the Botwar valley. The rooms are rather small, but each of the new rooms has its own boutique style theme and decor. …
