Perfekter Kurzurlaub in TBB
Pros:

Wir hatten noch ein Upgrade für die Zimmer gemacht und waren mit dem Deluxezimmer sehr zufrieden. Toll eingerichtet. alles Modern und neuwertig. Eine coole Dusche mitten im Raum :-)))
Die Lage ist einfach nur perfekt, weil es direkt am Beginn der Fussgängerzone liegt. Wow. Ich hatte erst Bedenken, weil es ja dann oft Probleme gibt das Auto abzustellen. Aber nein. Es gibt einen Privatparkplatz für Hotelgäste. TOP. :-)
Auch das Abendessen können wir sehr empfehlen. Eine kleine, aber tolle Karte. Probiert es aus, ihr werdet nicht enttäuscht werden.


Vielen Dank für alles.

PS: Für unser Notfallmedikament war sehr unkompliziert einen Minikühlschrank zu bekommen.

Meget hyggeligt og anbefalelsesværdigt hotel

Smukt hotel, der er centralt beliggende i byen. Venligt og imødekommende personale, der tog godt i mod os og introducerede os til byen og spisesteder. Hyggelig morgenmad på stedet med bordservering og virkelig god service.

Cons:

Der var ikke noget, vi ikke kunne lide.

Wunderschönes historisches Hotel - sehr zu empfehlen!

Pros:

民宿位置距離舊市政廳很很近，樓下對街就有商店和非常好吃的麵包店，房間很大，浴室空間也很大
整體來說算舒適，房間備有膠囊咖啡機，也有提供茶包泡茶。
停車一晚12歐元，離民宿三條街。
也可以先到民宿下行李後，由民宿人員泊車，很貼心的服務。
服務人員很親切，笑容都很美
整體來說是間很棒的民宿。

Cons:

我們在Book.com 上面訂的是有浴缸的房間
結果到現場，民宿卻給沒有浴缸的房型。
跟櫃檯反應，她們說是要提前跟她們講。
不過很有誠意的要幫我們換房間，但我們不換了。

以上提醒如果在訂房網站上面預訂的是有浴缸的房型，請記得一定要在入住前跟櫃檯預約喔～

Ideal para conocer Rothenburg caminando
Pros:

Lo que más me gustó fue la excelente ubicación del hotel, que permitió recorrer la ciudad caminando sin necesidad de usar el auto. El personal fue siempre muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar, haciendo que la estadía fuera muy cómoda. La habitación estaba impecablemente limpia, era silenciosa y la cama muy confortable, por lo que pudimos descansar perfectamente. Sin dudas, es un lugar al que volvería y que recomendaría a cualquiera que visite la ciudad.

Cons:

Realmente no encontré aspectos negativos durante la estadía. Todo estuvo a la altura de las expectativas y volvería a elegir este hotel sin dudarlo.

The place to stay in Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Pros:

We spent 3 nights in room 106 on the first floor, a very large room by European standards. It featured a canopy bed with two singles pushed together, two couches, plenty of luggage storage space, a stand alone tub, walk in shower, coffee maker, and two tower fans at the ready for hot weather. There were storks in their nest at the top of the Markusturm.

Breakfast was superb and varied: yogurt & muesli, brezel & rolls, smoked salmon, coffee, tea, orange juice, meats (salami, pork, speck, liverwurst), cherry tomatoes, brie with herbs, Swiss cheese, clementine, butter, cream cheese, jams, plus an egg any way you like it, all served by friendly hosts in a delightful dining room. The staff throughout the hotel are warm and welcoming.

The hotel is mere steps from everything, especially the Marktplatz, and the Plönlein is an easy walk. Parking is convenient and the parkplatz is near the Gerlachschmiede. The hotel provides brollies on rainy days - hope you don't have any reason to use them.

We walked the town walls, visited St.-Jakobs-Kirche, took in the Christmas Museum, the Medieval Crime Museum, and participated in the Night Watchman's Tour - recommended! One day we drove out to the Franconian Open Air Museum at Bad Windsheim.

A day trip to this town is insufficient - do yourself a favour and stay for at least a couple of nights, and do so at the Romantik Hotel Markusturm. You won't regret it.

Pro tip: If you're going to get a schneeball, get the marzipan & amaretto one.
