FAQs about hotels in Rothenburg ob der Tauber




Out of a Fairytale

The half-timbered buildings, cobbled streets and brightly painted façades of medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber wouldn’t be out of place in a fairytale. Several fantastical films have been set in this gem on the scenic Romantic Road, passing from Würzburg to Füssen via Bavaria’s most enchanting towns.

Uniquely designed gates allow access to the historic centre through walls partly covered with tiled roofs. Walking along the walls offers a different perspective of the town’s colourful flowers, step gables and towers. The town hall has the tallest tower, whose far-reaching views include the large Marktplatz, home of the Christmas market. The Christmas Museum is a year-round winter wonderland, as is the shop of Käthe Wohlfahrt, the internationally renowned German Christmas decoration producer.

On a different note, the Crime Museum houses medieval torture instruments including a ducking stool. Holy Blood and Last Supper altarpieces form the focal point of towering St James’ Church, a stop on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route.

In the River Tauber valley outside the centre are lush gardens, one containing Toppler Castle, a bizarre structure resembling a house on a tower. Also in the valley is a double-arched stone bridge.

The Rothenburg ob der Tauber accommodation on Booking.com includes traditional guest houses and family hotels with a spa and parking.

    The town itself is really a great example of a medieval walled town. Getting to walk the walls, look inside the old churches, and eat/stay in local establishments adds to the experience. The topper for us was the added bonus of a festival occurring during our visit!

    Rothenburg ob der Tauber has met my expectations of cute, romantic well preserved medieval town , loved the historic museum of the torture , learned lot of things there , definitely loved that we stayed for couple nights unlike most of tourists come only for a day. We loved walking around the fortress where we took great photos and explored some of the insides too. Walking around is easy coz everything is very near. I can highly recommend Zur Holle Restaurant, lovely staff and food. Highly recommend this town to every travellers and especially those who love history. I would definitely come back again.

    Beautiful town and we were very happy we included it on our tour. Walking the wall was a great experience but you really don't have to walk the whole thing. We were there in the shoulder season, March, and pretty much nothing opened, shops & museums, until 2pm when the tour busses arrived. We specifically stayed overnight because of advice to be there without "hordes" of tourists and to see the town lit up. Problem was that there isn't any exterior lighting and we had the town pretty much to ourselves all morning. When the tour busses leave it turns into a ghost town. Shops close, which are all cheap tourist shops and not interesting anyway. Also, we had an extremely difficult time finding a place for dinner. There aren't many restaurants and because of that reservations are required. Happy we saw the town but spending six hours would have been enough.

    Old town is the place to be.

    Old town is the place to be. Beautiful architecture, history and it really feels like you are in Pinocchio’s fairytale village. Worth visiting and you don’t need more than 2-3 nights to fully explore it. And you can walk everywhere.

    We stayed three nights and spent 2-1/2 days in the old town.

    We stayed three nights and spent 2-1/2 days in the old town. We’ve been here many times but there’s plenty to see and do. We recommend the Rothenberger Handworker’s house tour, an ancient house unchanged since the 1700s, St Jakob’s church, the criminal museum, the night watchman’s tour, and walking the town’s perimeter walls and towers. These help illustrate medieval life and how people lived back then, and how good we have it today!

    This is a stunning walled medieval town!

    This is a stunning walled medieval town! You can walk around most of the wall - stork nests can be seen if you look carefully! Every street is beautiful with gift shops and cafes. The castle gardens are great to relax in and at the bottom you are rewarded with an amazing view down to the river Tauber.

    This was the perfect stay for our one night visit to Rothenburg ob der tauber for the Christmas markets. The room was comfortable, had lift access and was exceptionally quiet. The shower over bath was an odd design but we figured it out. The bed was quite small however manageable. The staff were very friendly and helped us get our bags to our room in the annex building along with finding the car park. Definitely try the on site restaurant while you are there. The dinner was delicious!

    Location was central and very near the main square. It's also beside where the Christmas markets are located. The breakfast was typical of a hotel in Germany but it was one of the best we had on this trip. The staff and reception were all very friendly and helpful and someone always spoke good enough english to communicate well. A good historical hotel/building that has been updated just enough to enjoy the more modern amenities without losing the historical feel.

    The staff was really attentive and accommodating. We were travelling with a dog, yet, we were allowed to have breakfast and lunch in the bar/library. The building itself is full of history and its medieval charm was not abolished instead of a more modern design. The hotel is located in the heart of Rothenburg ob der Tauber only 5 min walking distance away from Plönlein. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

    Good location just outside the old city walls. Best sized shower I've ever seen! No one really needs all that space but it was a great experience. Communal kitchen is a nice idea too. Surprised there are people who really use the oven, pots and pans as the sink was filled in the morning but they are cleaned out daily. I booked the hotel based on the photos and it was accurate. Beautiful property.

    When we went to check in, we were told there was a “problem” and were sent to another lesser quality hotel which was about a 1/4 mile from where we booked. No parking on site - had to drag our bags to the relocated room. The “new” location was not nearly as nice as the original was listed. This was an expensive disappointment.
