Come, see and enjoy the new herrnschlösschen, a charming trilogy of hotel, restaurant and garden.

Absolutely A Gem
Reviewed By Misty YWow, is the first thing that comes to mind! We were greeted with a warm welcome from the owners and provided us with a ton a valuable information about the town. Then we went to our room which was a suite on the top floor! WOW, very spacious, wonderfully decorated with beautiful original beams running across the ceiling. The beds were very extremely comfortable, breakfast was amazing. It’s just truly a GEM. The only negative thing: Is we will have to leave.

There is hardly a town in Germany that is more charming and traditional than Rothenburg. In the historic part of this enchanting city you find the Kloster-Stueble, your romantic home for unforgettable moments. For three generations now the Kloster-Stueble has been owned by the same family who want to welcome their guests in a very personal atmosphere. That's why we only have individually appointed, romantic rooms, reflecting the cozy atmosphere of our town. He offers you a traditional, yet sophisticated cuisine, using only fresh, local products.
Absolutely wonderful!
Reviewed By josephd706We stayed here for two nights and everything about this hotel is wonderful! Our room was on the 1st floor (2nd for those of us from the U.S.), quite roomy and tastefully decorated. The bathroom had the most beautiful tile work and the bedroom had plenty of lighting and lots of storage. Bedding was very plush and comfortable. Breakfast was great with plenty of options including eggs made to order and everyone that we came in contact with was so friendly and accommodating. We wish we had been able to stay for a third night, it was so good. Excellent all around!

Great stsy! Loved Otto, the manager and overall caretaker of the hotel and its travelers!
Reviewed By 176alysoncLoved this hotel. Otto, the father of the owner, is a real gem and completely made our stay wonderful! We were able to see other rooms as we had friends with us and all were different and lovely. The hotel is small and in a great location. We had a car so the parking was helpful here. The breakfast room overlooking the gardens and countryside is beautiful!

Wonderful, romantic hotel in the heart of Rothenburg!
Reviewed By Brad NThe Historik Hotel Gotiches was wonderful! This family owned and managed hotel was romantic, nostalgic, and attentive to each of our needs. We were fortunate to stay in room 31 which provided views of the village street, historic furnishings, and modern amenities. All of the facilities were clean and the staff took all necessary precautions during Covid. The complimentary breakfast was excellent. We were able to park our car for offloading our luggage and the owner directed us to nearby public parking. We’ll be staying here when we return to Rothenburg!
5. Hotel Goldener Hirsch
Overall Ratings
4 based on 475 reviews
The Hotel Goldener Hirsch is centrally located in the Altstadt (old city centre). The spacious hotel offers a peaceful stay with spectacular scenic views of the Tauber Valley and historic sights. Enjoy a traditional buffet breakfast on the baroque-style Blaue Terrasse overlooking the Tauber River.
Perfectly located next to the Plönlein with comfortable rooms and magnificent view of the Tauber valley.
Reviewed By klentyWe stayed in the Guesthouse and found the room to be very enjoyable for a 3 people combo (couple + mother in law). Ups Location You live where others endlessly take selfies (people will probably ask you to take pictures of them when you exit feom the hotel and be wary of excursions camping before the entrance. Everything is nearby. Friendly staff, ready to answer any questions and help Tasty breakfast buffet (we especially liked the selection of fresh fruit and coffee) exclusive view of the Tauber valley in the breakfast "blue" room. Game room with billiard, air hockey, and foosball. Dog- and child-friendly. Good value for money. comfortable parking next door (costs 8.5 eur per night but is worth the price). Downs WiFi rather flaky in the guest house. very old locks in the room doors, no safe: best don't put valuables in your room. Side-note: This is the oldest hotel in Rothenburg still in operation. It was founded 300 years ago. If history is your knack, this is the place to be.
6. Hotel-Gasthof Goldener Greifen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 471 reviews
Set in the center of the historical town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the residence of the famous mayor Heinrich Toppler the "Goldene Greifen" - Golden Griffin - has always been a meeting point for societal life. Our house is listed and protected as a landmark - because of this none of our guest rooms are the same, but each one has its own unique charme.
Recommended!
Reviewed By Anna MWe stayed here with our extended family. We occupied 2 rooms. One bigger room for a family of 4, and another room for a couple. The bigger room was huge! Both rooms were clean. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was satisfying.

Charming hotel, wonderful staff, and great location!
Reviewed By stevenpB2854VNWhen choosing a hotel in an unfamiliar location half a world away you wonder if you're making the right choice. Having stayed here for a week now, I can tell you that the best recommendation I could give is that I would definitely chose Villa Mittermeier again if I am ever back in Rothenburg ob Der Tauber! The room was spacious, quiet, exquisitely decorated, and outfitted with all the comforts. This is definitely not a cookie-cutter, bare-bones hotel room. The hotel has adequate parking and is a short walk to anything you might want to see or do in the city center. One of the first nights here it was wet and cold outside, so I decided to try the hotel restaurant. The maî·tre d'hotel explained that it was a fine dining restaurant with a 5 or 7 course wild game menu. That wasn't what I was looking for, but because it was cold and wet he offered to alter the menu to accommodate me. How many fine dining establishments do you know who would go to those lengths to accommodate their guests? I applaud them. If you are coming to Rothenburg ob Der Tauber for business or pleasure do not hesitate to stay at this charming hotel! Their breakfast is fantastic, their staff is warm and helpful, and their location is great. You won't be disappointed!
9. Hotel Eisenhut
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 871 reviews
Four Patrician Mansions dating back to the 16th century are one hotel today: 78 comfortable and individually furnished rooms and suites for you to choose from. In the historical part of the hotel treat yourself to some fine food and drinks in our restaurant and bar. Whatever occasion you have to celebrate, our banqueting rooms offer the perfect setting. The new building has, air-conditioned meeting rooms and the great garden patio with wonderful views over the Tauber Valley.
2 Wonderful Nights Clothed in History
Reviewed By AndraYoThe 16th Century facade of Hotel Eisenhut really appealed as a symbol of historic German Rothenburg. With a welcoming lobby, original staircase, & many antiques to admire, the hotel is a combination of 4 different buildings which creates a maze involving 2 different elevators to reach our room, part of the fun but difficult with international suitcases. Our 3rd Floor Suite was charmingly hand-painted, quite spacious, overlooking the Tauber Valley with windows that open, & a glorious spa bathroom. Nice Touch--a CD Player with CD to enjoy. Centrally located, and with great breakfast & helpful staff, we had a wonderful stay. In January 2020, not very crowded so very enjoyable.
10. Hotel BurgGartenpalais
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 303 reviews
It is not difficult to find a room for the nights in Rothenburg. One of the loveliest is to be found in the Herrngasse. It goes without saying that to live in a building from the Middle Ages has its attractions. Not luxurious, perhaps, but very comfortable, yet homely in the best sense. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, so that an enjoyable stay is assurd. One of the oldest nobleman`s house with individual and stylish interior.
Wonderful stay, hotel full of character and charm
Reviewed By JeremyNicoleThis was another fantastic find during our motorbike trip round Germany / Italy in September 2020. The check in process was swift and efficient (unlike in Füssen the night before). Parking was available on site, and also just outside the hotel on a very quiet side road. Drinks were served outside in a very well maintained/ presented garden. The breakfast was a treat, with various dishes cooked to order such as lightly smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. The room was very substantial, and benefited from a bright modern bathroom and great a/c. The hotel is well situated being an easy walk to many of the great sites within the city walls. Happy to recommend and would love to visit again.
