Romantik Hotel Markusturm
4.5/594 Reviews
Old hotel - restaurant, all wood structure! The interior decoration is also very old, full of wood flavor! Can visit, accommodation is not very recommended! There is no elevator, the luggage has a big handsome guy to help carry, the car can also be replaced, remember to give a tip, physical strength ^_^
Hotel Herrnschloesschen
4.6/560 Reviews
Please note that Figure 1 and Figure 2 are the photos of the main entrance of the hotel. If you just look at the pictures on Trip.com, you will be fooled. The pictures of the two wooden tendons displayed on Trip.com are an exhibition hall, not a picture of the hotel! The location of this hotel is not very good, on the edge of the city, but the service is very good, it is an inn opened by two brothers, I don't know why the online rating is so high, to be honest, I am a little disappointed. The room given was in Room 6 on the 3rd floor. There was no air conditioning and it was so hot. There was a mini fan in the whole room or it was very noisy. It was the kind of fan we disliked in the 1970s and 1980s. The only highlight of this hotel is that there is a back garden, breakfast can be very cool in the garden, but swarms of bees will come and grab jam. Be sure to lock the room door when you sleep, otherwise it will be opened by others. Later, I went around in the back garden and found that room 4 was air-conditioned, but our room was not. The last Tumuji room is an exhibition hall, not their hotel! The pictures hanging on Trip.com by their hotel are suspected of misleading consumers. It is recommended that Trip.com delete the pictures on their homepage after inspection.
Hotel Eisenhut
4.5/5112 Reviews
The hotel is very close to attractions, and the environment and rooms are very nostalgic and classic. The room was very spacious and very comfortable. The hotel was very considerate and gave us small gifts (gummy candies) on the bed. It's a pity that there is no air conditioning, but when we stayed it was in the teens (12-20 degrees), which was okay; and our room was next to the road, so it was a bit noisy, but it was acceptable. If you open the window, you will hear the bell ringing from time to time! So we closed the windows and slept. There is an Italian restaurant opposite the hotel, which is delicious and affordable. Overall, I would recommend this hotel!
Hotel Zum Breiterle
4.1/590 Reviews
Very nice town German hotel, warm wooden furniture, facing the street but not noisy at night. Very clean, walking distance from the train station 🚉 800 meters. The restaurant is rich in variety, and it is within walking distance of various attractions in the town. It is a good choice to stay in Rotenberg on the upper reaches of the Taub River!
Glocke Weingut Und Hotel
4.3/538 Reviews
The location is excellent, right next to Buyunlai. The waiters were enthusiastic, and the waitresses also helped us carry our luggage. The breakfast is decent. Sanitary conditions are good. The triple room is quite spacious.
Hotel Sonne - Das Kleine Altstadt Hotel
4.3/551 Reviews
*A review of the restaurant, not the hotel overall* A difficult review to rate. On the one hand I’d give it 5 stars for the food, location and most of the service. However our experience after our meal with a gentleman we assumed to be the manager was a 2 at best. So to be as fair as possible I’ve rated it as 4, which is a real shame! Located very close to the marked square in the historic old town, we arrived at around 6 in bright sunshine and therefore asked for an outside table. Luckily parasols were up to offer shade from the sun which would come in useful later. Staff were very friendly and helpful and we both ordered the Bratwurst sausages with sauerkraut and bread, which was delicious and reasonably priced. Dark clouds gathered overhead and midway through our meal a torrential rain storm started almost instantly. We finished our meal huddled under the parasol, until even these weren’t helping much! We ventured inside to seek shelter and wait for the rain to stop, asking the aforementioned gentleman if there was somewhere we could sit and buy a drink in the meantime, such as a bar or lounge area. He very rudely and abruptly answered no, and that all their tables were reserved. After explaining that we had already eaten outside and just wanted to shelter from the rain he reluctantly pointed at a table in the restaurant and said sit there but only until 7 when it’s booked. We sat at the table but did not feel comfortable, and as it was now 6.45 we decided it wasn’t worth ordering a drink and instead paid our bill and left into the rain. It was a shame, as this spoiled the experience for us. As I said based on the food and waiting staff alone it was well worth a 5 star rating, however based on our own overall experience I feel a 4 is more than generous.
