Just WOW! What a cool experience to have stayed in a hotel that is part of a 12th Century medieval town wall! This property does not play up its historical value enough. The rooms are a tad dated but it fits with overall vibe and was very comfortable and convenient. The views of the valley are stunning! The location is exceptional and rooms are very quiet. We will be recommending this to all of our friends for years to come. Parking is also very easy and reasonable (€10/night). Unload your car first because there's no elevator and then the reception will show you the locked garage up the street (very close and convenient).

Simply superb from the arrival where we were met and told where to park in a private courtyard. The room was pristine, with lovely views over the valley and a comfy bed. Staff are exceptional and breakfast was un limited with again lovely views over the valley. Its easy to get to and interesting driving through the 2 gatehouses - the roads are wide enough and easy to locate the hotel

Could have stayed longer, there was nothing not to like

I first stayed at this hotel going on for 35 years ago. It hasn’t changed one bit! Herr Berger, now 85, still works there all day, immaculate in his suit and perfectly charming at all times. The rooms are the same, elegantly timeless furniture, immaculately clean and with wonderful views over the valley and gardens. The breakfast is still the same, bread, ham, cheese, cereal, eggs and wonderful jams. Nothing has changed, so don’t expect it to! If you want lifts, air conditioning, modern interiors and slick service, then Rothenburg and the Burg Hotel are probably not for you. If you want old fashioned gentility, peace and quiet and a charming host, then you couldn’t find a better place to stay

Nothing.

We were first greeted by such a darling gentleman, who is the owner, dressed in his suit and tie. He was such a kind man and told us since they had had a last minute cancellation, they would move us to some upgraded rooms. Let me tell you, the rooms were beautiful, classy and adorable, with the most amazing views!!!! The breakfast was so delicious with many options and fresh food. Our stay here was exceptional!!! Thank you for making our stay so memorable. Your kindness and hospitality, not to mention your hotel, were all above and beyond what we ever expected. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay!!!!!

Absolute nothing!!!!!

Room size was good and so was the bathroom. Very nice bath (but can be slippy if you use it as a shower). Lovely view of the Taube valley from the breakfast room. Eggs are cooked to order. Short walk to town centre and the Christmas market. If you have an hour or two to spare there are some very nice walks (on surfaced paths) around the vineyards and down to the old river bridge. We went for the Christmas market but the architecture of the town would make it well worth a visit at any time of year.

Be aware that the hotel is on four floors with no lift, so may be unsuitable for some. I managed to close the safe but could not open it. Luckily I always test safes before putting any valuables in. I was told none of the hotel safes are working correctly - parts are unavailable due to the Ukraine war.

In years of personal and business travel, I don't ever write a review, although this time is very different. From the moment you walk into the foyer to check in, to the thoughfulness for an appropriate parking place for an oversized van in a very secure parking garage and to a beautifully handwritten checkout invoice (signed by Mr. Otto), staying at Burghotel was a delight. Thank you, Otto and his kind daughter, for making our visit to Rothenburg a wonderful experience. Here's to health, happiness for you both, and many happy guests to Burghotel!

This property was absolutely charming! The town of Rothenburg is like a storybook. We had a family of five, two adults, and three teenagers, and booked a family style room. It turns out that we had our own house, multilevel, just up the road from the main entrance to the hotel. Our doors opened up to a grand backyard of topiary and grass, with a view of the wall and tower beyond. Some of the accommodations were a bit dated, but that was to be expected in this type of older hotel, and we did not mind at all. It was clean, and the washer and dryer were an added bonus to do some laundry before the next leg of our trip. The owners father, Otto, could not have been more delightful, or helpful. He made sure to offer the chance to order breakfast for a reasonable price, and allowed us to stay in the house a little longer while our laundry finished drying. He was a pleasure to speak with. We adored this town, and our piece of the hotel. Also, if you had someone who could not climb the stairs, there was a downstairs bedroom that you could add to your reservation, otherwise it was locked.

Oh. I loved the dreaminess of this place. Already rothenburg is just magical and to sleep in this gorgeous hotel by the outside walls was a dream come true. Right from the many roses outside to the lovely Otto the concierge who had the graceful attitude that you could only find if you travel back in time. Then there was my room. The bavarian suite if im not mistaken. I was moved. And speechless. The forest views. The bed with the "baldacchino" the impeccable bathroom. The delighful wall paper! The breakfast was also very good indeed.

If only the upper baby grand was well tuned i would have spent hours playing the piano in the cosy living room. But then i wouldnt have gone around Rothenburg. There was nothing i didnt like.

The entire staff was wonderful!!!..........they even helped us with car problems......We had the "3 bedroom apt" which was a building 100 ft down the block.........If you need lots of room (like a big family-this is your place)...............multiple bathrooms, but a steep staircase to the 3rd. floor...........free parking for this unit (others cost $).................beautiful breakfast room with views........check out the basement "special" living room with couches and tables for a get away glass of wine with friends..............LOVED ROTHENBURG - It's medieval with town walls!!........................and if you miss "The Night Watchman" (meet 7 PM daily at town hall for a small donation), you've missed a classic to tell friends....ask the front desk for very reasonable, GREAT restaurants nearby...........

rain another day

The location is superb for walking to Old Town Square. Mr. Otto is a delightful host, friendly and helpful with interesting history to share. The charming ladies will prepare your eggs just as you like them for breakfast. There are a variety of breakfast meat, cheese, fresh fruit and bread choices in the morning. The views of the valley from the breakfast room and bedroom windows are stunning. We had hot tea in our sitting area, enjoying the cool breeze. The bathroom was huge. We enjoyed the bathrobes as a special treat.

The location is superb, but if you have trouble with stairs, they don't have a lift.
