I choose my hotels according to location on the map. They sent me another place to stay which is not nice.
The rooms were nice and large. The lighting was great in it. My husband struggles with eye sight so that was so helpful. The decorating was beautiful and so charming! The breakfast was yummy also
Our mattress was a little hard but the room my daughter and her husband was in had a better mattress. I really didn’t have any complaints. It was great!
beautiful room, great location, fantastic renovations to this historic structure. Wonderful breakfast. everything was lovely.
Nice apartment the was quiet and clean. Had a super nice deck to enjoy some sunshine and relax after a day seeing the site. Great location. The breakfast was good. Staff was super.
Excellent location and very friendly and accommodating staff. Breakfast was very good. Room was large and comfortable.
While everything was good and clean, the room and the bathroom needed updating.
We loved everything! The hotel is just steps from the main square. It is an old building and is filled with interesting antiques on display in the hallways and bedrooms. Our Junior Suite was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The Gerber Family runs this hotel and is always at hand with friendly help, tips and conversation. The hotel has a parking garage nearby where we could store and charge our e-bikes.
Hotel Markusturm (or Hotel Romantik) is a classic Bavarian Inn located in the heart of downtown Rothenburg. The main hotel is quaint, comfortable and historically well preserved with a small but tasteful lobby, two lovely little dining rooms for breakfast and a small courtyard for guests. Though, at first, we were a little disappointed that we were assigned to an annex of the main hotel (which was more modern inside), we soon realized this separate little townhome suited our needs quite well and ended up being better for us in the long run. It had a beautiful view from the private balcony, comfortable beds and a coffee maker and fridge. Nice bathroom too… What we didn’t expect was that 2 of our children and one adult (yours truly) would come down sick. However, this only served to bring out the absolute best in the hotel staff it seemed! When they found out we were in need, Stephen at the front desk led the charge by having homemade chicken broth made for us and then sending Hero (no kidding, the big strong bellhop was named “Hero”) to pick us up and take us to a nearby doctor, to the pharmacy and even to the bank! We were so blessed and impressed and tipped them accordingly. Our waitress was also so kind and attentive. Another lady at the front desk helped us schedule a taxi and train for our final day. There’s so much more I could share, but I had to share this which just made it for us… the morning we left, as the taxi took 2 trips and dropped the last of our family and bags at the train station, and we tried to figure out the German kiosk, a terrible sinking feeling came over my wife! She’d been sure to account for every bag but her own! It must’ve still been at the hotel we thought and the train was coming in 15 min! We called Stephen at the front desk who dropped everything and quickly drove to our annex to search the place for my wife’s luggage. Within 10 minutes or less, he had arrived at the station with the bag!
The only thing, like I said, we would have preferred is to have one of the beautiful Bavarian rooms in the main hotel. But, as mentioned, the annex really was probably better for our family of 7 and the privacy we ended up needing. Oh, and no AC but that’s par for the course in Europe.
Great location, breakfast was delicious, friendly staff
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was very nice and we really like the proximity to the downtown area.
This was the very best breakfast buffet I have ever encountered in a hotel in Germany. Wow! The location walking distance to town was optimal. It was clean, staff were friendly, and everything was just super!
The parking situation was a little tricky on some days.
Central to everything. Near great restaurants and bakeries. Very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed including fans, coffee/tea, a small fridge, a hairdryer, and room to spread out. There was a full bedroom, living area with a couch, another bed, and dining area. The kitchen had a an eating area and plenty of space. We partook of breakfast at the hotel which was affordable and delicious! Overall excellent!
We stayed in the annex 2 which is about a block from the main hotel (which is beautiful). If you cannot do stairs, this may not be for you. We hauled luggage up two flights which we did not mind.
Right in the middle of the beautiful town! Apartment had everything in it. The staff were exceptional! They were kind and helpful. I will definitely come stay here next time.
Everything was good. Nothing to complain about.
Breakfast room is so lovely and the breakfast was so wonderful.
We stayed in an annex apartment. The bathroom was wonderful. But the bedroom and living room need a design update. The apartment was just so utilitarian, but now pretty or charming. It just doesn’t seem consistent with the good taste of the hotel image.
Charming, good location, very friendly and helpful staff.
Lack of air conditioning could be a problem as summer progresses.
Cute location, comfortable rooms, great breakfast service… well worth the money!
There wasn’t elevators to get to the next level, but there also wasn’t staff to help get your luggage up
We had a great stay here. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The location was incredible and the staff was very friendly and accomodating.I would highly recommend this hotel and we would certainly stay here again. We will stay here again in the future
Central location. Valet parking available. Room was large with windows and beautiful in a rustic way and with modern facilities. The building itself is old and has the vibe that goes well with the medieval theme of the town. The owner is on site. And the staff was friendly and welcoming.
Nothing to dislike. Rothenburg is a 10am to 6 pm town. Stores and businesses close and only rest and pubs remain open. Nothing much to do in the evenings, except the watchman tour and walking around.
Location, friendliness, good room for 3 people.
The room was pretty warm.
