The hotel is in a excellent location! Across the street from the hotel is free parking. The parking lot is large and I had no issues finding a spot. The train station is a short walk away. The Old City Center is also a short walk away in a straight path so that you don't get lost. The walk is amazing since it takes you through the old city gate overlooking the moat.
Since the hotel is just outside of the Old City, there are several restaurants to choose from. The restaurants in the Old City will fill up quickly and may require reservations for dinner.
Surrounded by meadows and forests, this traditional hotel in Steinsfeld offers Franconian cuisine and Bavarian beers. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is just a 5-minute drive away.

We were able to check in after the reception desk closed and retrieve the key to our room easily. Breakfast was already on the table when we came down to eat. It was a lovely typical German breakfast and our host was very friendly.

Enormous historic property just brimming with character and gathering spaces. The staff was uniformly helpful and kind. Breakfast was incredible, tons of options and group seating in an elegant dining room. There are art installation and Lutheran pamphlets scattered about (the chapel and such are not accessible). Also a music festival was happening during our stay (we sometimes heard them and there was interesting lighting but was not loud at night). Close to the town by the stairs or with a car. Enjoyed the gardens and exploring the public spaces of the old building. Great atmosphere for telling ghost stories. Overall it was wonderful!

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.

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.

Its indeed a Fairytale town (fortified).
Its indeed a Fairytale town (fortified).
One night stay would be perfect to enjoy the old town´s colorful buildings and architecture with many towers standing high at every corner of the old town guarded by city walls (Day view and Night view of the old is must).
It has a very rich heritage to tell as you stroll through the old town wondering why this was built and the purpose. This curiosity was sated by the night watchman´s 1hr guided tour that starts in Market square.
The city wall is one of amazing structure which I had never seen before that runs through out the town like a fortress hiding behind is the beautiful buildings from medieval age still preserved with many reconstructed.
There are many places to visit and for me the Rothenburg museum was the best to know about the history, going back in time (approx. 700 yrs).
Plenty of restaurants and food was pretty good too, best snack "Schnee ball"
I wish I would visit this town again on a full moon night :-)

My family loves to visit Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
My family loves to visit Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The town is very walkable and there are plenty of places to explore for a few days. Check out the museum's and take your time walking through the park outside the walls. If staying overnight take a trip with the nightwatchman. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is beautiful in Autumn and magical at Christmas.

There are many people that fleet through Rothenburg on a day...
There are many people that fleet through Rothenburg on a day tour but it does help to have a couple of days to walk around the outskirts of the city wall, to truly appreciate the place. We stumbled upon a little playground outside the city walls and it was the best time we had. There are some good restaurants but do read the reviews; Michaelango was a win as was the Taj Mahal. The restaurants and some shops do seem to indicate a preference for cash over card. It will also be wise to plan where to park beforehand and to understand the charges of parking within the city walls. Also, if you drive within the city walls, be prepared for narrow cobbled streets and driving through ancient gateways.

This hotel is in a great position near the centre of this beautiful town, and yet 5 mins walk (and what a lovely walk!) from the carpark which is outside the town walls. The room was as others reflect, perfectly adequate and the staff very gracious. The Indian restaurant is a must, it's the best Indian cooking I've had in a long time, the food was fragrant, not heavy with oil. The vegetable thali for two includes 6 different dishes - strongly recommended.
Staff was nice, polite and helpful, room was clean and beds were comfortable. Also, they have super beers that we enjoyed very much. Dogs are welcome. Village is quiet and nice, we enjoyed the walk and we slept like babies. :) Didn't explore much what there is to see, but center of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is 6 km away, it is magical during Christmas for those who want a bit more things to see.
If on the way, we will come back for sure.
All the best!
The location is excellent, inside the historic walls. The building has a certain charm, and even if old, it is in a very good shape. The room was spacious, simple, but nicely decorated and welcoming. The bathroom was large, nice and very clean. The garage is part of the building and you can reach it also from the inside. Very good breakfast, unlike other hotels in Germany. Very friendly and helpfull staff.
The location is idyllic situated perfectly in the old town in a picturesque spot. From start to finish we had wonderful service from the family owners which made this hotel in our week long stay in Germany our favorite. Each room is unique and we loved our deluxe room with private patio. Breakfast and service is also phenomenal.
This hotel is very well positioned within Rothenburg old town, perfect for our stop off on our "Romantic Road" trip. The room was very comfortable.
There was adequate off road private parking and the charge point for our EV was easily accessed (charging cost paid directly to the hotel).
There was a lot of choice at breakfast.
Absolutely adorable hotel in the city center if Rothenburg ob der Tauber! The furniture was beautiful, hand painted traditional German and the room was a good size. Breakfast was delicious and well worth the money. The staff was friendly. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
The hotel was great, the best location. The reception Staff were really welcoming. There is a restaurante at the hotel, it closes very early but the food was delicious. We could park at the back for a fee. Breakfast was also good and the waiters were very attentive and kind.
Excellent location. Cozy quaint apartment within the old town, quiet area. Comfy beds. Clean. Friendly welcoming host who gave us a map of the town and recommended places to eat. Would recommend it for a short stay in the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Stylish and quiet room in a separate building of the Mittermeiers hotel. We liked the concept of the rooms and the do-it-yourself bar and breakfast area. The position is ideal for visiting the center on foot. Note that there is no elevator in this building.
Absolutely gorgeous hotel! And GREAT ROOMS! The hotel was located perfectly near everything and easy to find. When staying here although renovation due to the age of the building. You can still feel and see the historical value the hotel has.
Everything about Hotel Herrnschloesschen is first-class. We were received by the very friendly staff, the room was well appointed, with a view out front. The alacart breakfast menu had everything you'd need, and all prepared to order.
Beautiful traditional boutique hotel. Very friendly welcome. Friendly helpful staff. Great breakfast. Great location with parking. Comfortable room. Large shower room. Lovely breakfast room. Beautiful garden.
Just one night's stay but everything was very good. Staff very pleasant and helpful, breakfast with eggs made to order and otherwise standard selection. Location excellent with parking adjacent to the hotel.
Nice Hotel centrally located beside the train station and within walking distance of attractions. Room was clean and Comfortable. Would stay here again if we ever returned to Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
