Mitten in einer Kleinstadt, die als ganzes eigentlich ein Museum ist.
Pros:

Die Lage mitten in der Altstadt und die Möglichkeit einen guten Parkplatz zu haben war toll. Auch das Zimmer war sehr gut ausgestattet. Das Frühstück wirklich gut. Sehr gute Betten. Äußerst nettes Personal.

Cons:

Uns wurde ein Zimmer im 1. Stock versprochen und dann mussten wir das Gepäck über enge Treppen in den 2. Stock schaffen und zuvor noch 1 Stock hinunter, das war für uns betagte Menschen ein bisserl heftig, aber letztendlich machbar.

Pros:

We loved our stay at the Hotel Sonne. You can hardly find a better location in Rothenburg. It's in the center of everything, yet the room was very quiet. The bed was comfy, bathroom perfectly clean. Complimentary water, fruit, and an electric kettle with coffee are provided in the room. However, it’s the staff who makes this hotel so special. Everyone is super kind, attentive and friendly, always smiling. We were really impressed by the variety of choices for breakfast. Everything was absolutely delicious! We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Rothenburg.
