Excellent location in the old town means you're only a walking distance away from everything, and it's also a less than 10 minutes walk from the train station. Staff was very warm and friendly and it's a charming hotel with old world decor and modern comforts. Breakfast and dinner was great in the hotel's restaurant, where homemade German cuisine and beer are served. Excellent in all respects, would definitely stay here again. …Excellent location in the old town means you're only a walking distance away from everything, and it's also a less than 10 minutes walk from the train station.

We traveled to Rothenberg Ob Der Tauber, Germany (via car) and stayed at Hotel Rappen, which is located right outside the city. It is a two minute walk to the Aldstadt (old city). The hotel offers free parking for guests, breakfast was included with our stay and it has a restaurant & Bier Garten on site. The hotel was very clean, with warm and friendly staff and many COVID-19 precautions put into place. We felt very safe staying there and the location couldn’t be beaten especially for the price! …We traveled to Rothenberg Ob Der Tauber, Germany (via car) and stayed at Hotel Rappen, which is located right outside the city.
