Nice hotel but left disappointed
12 Sept 2026
We stayed for 3 nights on a B&B basis in a 4 star superior room during Rothenburg’s September Imperial City Festival (Reichsstadt-Festtage), therefore the hotel was very busy as expected.As the hotel is outside the city walls access was easy with plenty of parking spaces available (we arrived about 3 pm).Check in was fairly straight forward although rather than taking a card pre-authorisation we were asked to pay in full, which wasn’t a problem just a little unusual. We were also given a car park ticket to display in the windscreen during our stay.We found the room to be a good size but with no safe, which was disappointing. The bathroom had a bath and shower combination but no slip mat was provided, which meant care had to taken stepping over the edge of the bath. Apparently only deluxe rooms and above have a safe and walk-in shower.Despite daily housekeeping our floor was never cleaned during our stay and remained dusty with hair from previous visitors having congregated in corners.We found the reception staff to be friendly but the staff at breakfast not so and those serving in the beer garden were just simply rude. This wasn’t a language or translation issue as we speak enough German to get by; it was the attitude and tone when ordering and paying.It’s a shame really as the hotel itself is in a good location with modern facilities and it looks the part, but alas it didn’t live up to expectations and their customer service needs to raise up a notch or two.

So we booked this hotel after we booked somewhere else and we heard the weather was very hot and we might prefer a hotel with air conditioning. Unfortunately we booked Hotel Rappen. The room had dust bunnies on the floor when we checked in. The air conditioning was really not that great. Amenities in hotel were plastic cup in bathroom (really?) and no lotions, etc. A shampoo, conditioner and soap in shower. Breakfast was okay. Should have went with my original choice.

Perfect base right next to the walled city, with easy parking
17 Jul 2026
We stayed here for 2 nights with our teenage daughter and loved the location — just steps from the walled old town, which made wandering the medieval streets incredibly convenient. On-site parking was a big bonus in a town where that can be tricky. Breakfast was solid and a nice way to start each day of exploring.

Great location and modern amenities - basically in the old town!

During the German heat wave of late June 2026, we stayed at Hotel Rappen in Rothenburg o.b. Tauber. The hotel is just outside the Galgentor (one of the main doors/openings in the medieval wall around Rothenburg). It is not considered "in" the altstadt (old city center), but it'll take you 100 steps or so to get there. Many places in Germany (and Europe), the hotels near city centers are in older buildings and many do not have A/C. The Hotel Rappen is not a new building, but does have A/C, controllable in your room. The hotel has a large eating area for meals and breakfast (we did not eat here during our one day stay). The front desk and staff were friendly and helped my wife with a small issue (she does not speak German). The parking is directly behind the hotel and there is an easy drop off for luggage. The building is large and has an elevator and everything was clean. My kids enjoyed the room immensely, probably because we just came from another hotel with no A/C while it was well over 90°F (32°C) outside. If you want to explore Rothenburg, especially in summer, do yourself a favor and stay at Hotel Rappen and walk into the Altstadt instead of staying inside. Quaint, historical buildings are fun to stay at until you're sweating at night and have to haul large bags up 3 flights of old, slanted stairs.
