Beautiful boutique hotel. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Stopped on a Wednesday night, restaurant closed so didn't get chance to try its' excellent reputation. Breakfast was amazing. Rooms were huge and very well finished - and you get to walk around Rothenburg, one of the most beautiful towns in Germany. Only 8 hours from Calais so great stop off point to the Austrian Alps.

Very welcoming and friendly host. Took our bags to our room (Amaryllis), which was unexpectedly decorated for our anniversary event. Room overlooked the church. Nice beds, nice bathroom. Car parked and retrieved by host. Great breakfast. Rothenburg is a place lost in time. Very glad we booked.

Not only was this hotel beautiful and full of character the lovely hostess when we arrived was so warm, welcoming, and super friendly. After a very short wait (and a couple on Tatingers on the house), we were shown to our lovely suite. The absolute best place to stay in the stunningly beautiful Rothenburg ob der tauber.

Visited Rothenburg 9 years ago and had such a wonderful stay that we knew we would be back. Finally made it this year. There’s been a few ownership changes since our last visit, but much remains the same. Rooms are decorated well and are generally spacious, although we stayed in the Golden Apple room and the shower was a tight fit. That being said, the water pressure was great and I’ll take good water pressure over shower size any day. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was plentiful with choice of breads, fruit, cheese and eggs/bacon made to order. They were nice enough to make the bacon extra crispy to account for our American taste. We spent more time with the evening crew (we also did dinner at the HerR restaurant within the hotel) and found Filip to be a wonderful host. My husband took advantage of the sauna and said it was fantastic. He especially raved about the shower. Definitely recommend.

We booked 2 rooms for an overnight in Rothenburg. The hotel is in a great location about 2 blocks from the town square. The rooms were very nice and quite spacious. The breakfast was excellent and the overall experience was excellent. I would highly recommend.

This place is hard to beat. Great location across from an old church and a very short walk to where the Christmas Markets are located. Stayed for 3 nights in the family suite room 7, and absolutely loved this place. Hotel staff are very friendly and attentive, the rooms ambiance and layout are perfect. Crack a window and you can hear the church bells on the hour. HerR- the intimate restraunt is a must do even if you’re not staying here. Filip and Sacha are amazing!! It’s elevated dining with sublime service. This is Michelin star level fare and experience with a much more personal touch. We loved it so much we dined twice. Each night we got the opportunity to get to know Filip and hear the story of how the Restaurant was started, and a little about them as people. It’s a dining experience we will use to measure against, and we will be telling people about for a long time to come. Don’t miss out, make space to visit. It was more than just an amazing meal it was an event.

The Herrnschlosschen was a dream hotel in a dream town! We loved our Golden Apple room with view of the street. The room was cozy and provided all the luxuries - comfortable, warm bed, relaxing shower, and spacious living area. The hotel concierge and staff welcomed and pampered us throughout our stay. We enjoyed fabulous dinners every night thanks to recommendations and reservations by Michael. This hotel is a must for your Rothensburg vacation.

As you have read, great location for wandering Rothenburg, and a nice simple elegance. In our case, we were driving and we could not GPS our way to the hotel due to Christmas market road closings. I walked to the hotel and met Michael who, I believe, was the only staff person at the time; he then walked with me about 4 blocks to our car, then drove it to the hotel for us - what a favor! Excellent breakfast, and we enjoyed pre-dinner wine and cocktails one night even though we ate dinner elsewhere.

Overall, I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. When I booked it was rated #1 on Tripadvisor for this city. From everything I learned, the high rating is from past reviews. Good The location is excellent, situated in a very nice section of the town. The hotel is only a 5 minute taxi ride from the train station. The breakfast included is excellent. It is not a buffet, you are given a menu that includes made to order eggs or omelets, and several courses pastries, fruit etc.. The quality and quantity are both good. The only item for breakfast, that we both felt was not acceptable was then orange juice. We found every member of the staff to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The bathroom was spotless, contemporary, large footprint, and a nice walk-in shower. Bad Unfortunately, the bad outweighed the good. It was more expensive than most 5 star hotels I stayed at throughout Europe. The overall quality of the hotel did not match the room rate. The bedroom floor squeaked and creaked with every footstep. The sheets were poor quality. The bathroom towels were paper thin. The wash cloths were frayed. No elevator, which I knew before booking, but worth noting. No air conditioning in 4 of the 8 rooms. Only suites have air conditioning. We stayed in early October and the room was uncomfortable during the day. The small fan, and open window, did not help during the day. Took me an hour to catch and kill a fly in the room, the first night. the windows do not have screens on them. We could not imagine staying in room there without air conditioning June through September. The room can be locked from the inside, only with a key. Unfortunately it can only be unlocked from the inside with a key. This is disaster waiting to happen if there is a fire. Good luck trying to find the room key in the dark. The TV was about 15 years old. I wanted to watch the news at night, given world events at the time. There was a card in the room listing about 30 stations. Not 1 station worked. I was told they were ordering new tv’s. I asked to speak to complain to the hotel owner given all the problems. I was told the owner lived out of the country. There were no employees in the hotel after 9 pm. From reviews, I read, if no one opted for dinner, all the employees could be gone by 6 pm. We were traveling through Europe for 2 months, I opted not to eat dinner, in the hotel as the cost of the dinner with wine, would have exceeded the cost of the room, itself, as high as the room rate was. I ate at other restaurants right down the block which were more reasonable. In addition to the 5 course gourmet dinner option, suggest they offer an option that might not be gourmet, but would not cost more than the cost of the room. I will come back to this town, but would not return to this hotel, until they make major changes. The town is gorgeous, but there are many other options nearby, without all the negatives. Given the owner is remote, and apparently does not visit often, I would suggest he listen to his staff more, give his staff more authority to correct problems independently, or authorize needed changes they bring to his attention. The staff is very competent and professional, my sense is they are aware the quality has slipped greatly, is living on past reviews, knows improvements and changes are required, but are helpless. Owner should consider letting a member of the staff live in the hotel. Maybe there is a spot that can be renovated, and free board given for being on call after hours. I stayed in the hotel 3 nights and noted so many deficiencies. I don’t understand how an owner , even if remote, could not be aware of all the weaknesses, either from occasional visits or feedback from his professional staff. I gave feedback to the employee who checked me out. He did make a nominal adjustment to my bill, which I appreciated. He was aware of many of the issues, I communicated, but not all. Not being the owner, he never had the opportunity, I suspect, to stay overnight in the room, and get a better picture of all the problems.
