Great location in a unique and beautiful mediaeval town
Pros:

The location of this hotel was close to the town square and everything was in walking distance. We liked that they had parking available although getting to the carpark was tricky and needed special instructions but we managed it. The room was spacious and comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The only thing to note was there is no lift so you need to be able to carry your bags up a couple of flights of stairs. This is because all the buildings are very old but that's part of the charm of Rothenberg.

Das waren 4 schöne Tage im Hotel Sonne
Pros:

Der Empfang an der Rezeption war schon außergewöhnlich freundlich . Wir waren auf den Tag an unserem 50.Hochzeitstag angereist und haben das beim Einchecken beiläufig erwähnt am darauf folgenden Morgen wurden wir an einen wirklich schön gedeckten und geschmückten Tisch begleitet . Das Frühstücks Büffet lies keine Wünsche offen .Das waren 4 schöne Tage im Hotel Sonne . Wir werden nächstes Jahr auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.Ulrike und Karl-Heinz Becker aus Leimen

Pros:

Gutes herzliches Frühstück, aber die Zimmer sind zu hellhörig, die ganze Nacht kamen Leute nach Hause und klopften an die Nachbartüren, jede Toilettenspülung und Duschvorgänge waren zu hören, die Inhaber sind sehr gastfreundlich, aber die Zimmer sind nicht gut.

Cons:

Great hotel with excellent breakfast and good location for seeing the city.
Pros:

Everything was great except for the road closures which made access to the hotel challenging. However, the help provided by the staff with directions and luggage made the inconvenience less stressful.

Cons:

Nothing other than noted above.
