Across many reviews, Hotel Rappen Rothenburg ob der Tauber is praised for its excellent location just outside the city walls, abundant free parking, and an impressive breakfast, with often friendly staff contributing to comfortable, generally clean stays.

Rooms range from modern and spacious to more basic or dated, with some lacking air conditioning, small bathrooms, or exposure to street or elevator noise. The on-site restaurant and beer garden receive many compliments, though a few guests noted uneven service, portion sizes, or isolated food issues. Some accommodations are in separate buildings, which a few found less convenient or more basic. Expect a practical base with a standout breakfast.

Smart clean hotel just minutes from the city walls. We booked an economy room which was quite charming on a corner position with two opening windows. However the bathroom was tiny. Huge breakfast buffet and ample free parking at the back of the property.

This was a great hotel. FREE parking and FREE breakfast seemed to be a rarity and was much appreciated. The lot was easy to find and just behind the hotel. From there it was only a few minute walk to the Rathaus and a block to the town wall. The breakfast buffet was INCREDIBLE! So many choices. The room for three was spacious and beds comfortable. Bathroom was fine. Would for sure stay here again.

Das Hotel war sehr modern, komfortabel und sauber. Leider fehlte mir in den Steckdosen ein USB Anschluss. Weiteres, der Biergarten ist der einzige in der Art der keinerlei Speisen, oder nur Snacks im Angebot hat. Im Hotel fehlt eine Bar, oder eine gemütliche Ecke in der man den Tag Review passieren kann. Sie haben einen nichtssagenden Raum ohne Emotionen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstücksbüffet war sehr abwechslungsreich und einladend. Alles frisch und für das Auge und den Gaumen eine kulinarische Reise.

Das Haus bietet saubere und moderne Zimmer und ein sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet. Gefallen hat mir auch die Lage und eine kosten- und stressfreie Parkmöglichkeit. Die vorhandene Lademöglichkeit für E-Autos ist zwar grundsätzlich gut, doch den verlangten Pauschalpreis hierfür (30 €) empfinde ich als Service am Gast als deutlich zu teuer. Ferner hätte ich mir gewünscht, dass das gebuchte Zimmer der Superior Kategorie mit einem Minisafe ausgestattet gewesen wäre. Das sollte bei einem Haus dieser Kategorie eigentlich zum Standard gehören.

Our room was fine, but we were put in a different building (not the one pictured) that was sparse, with no art or pictures on the walls. The carpet in the room was quite stained. We paid 166 Euros after booking it for 116 (extra fees per person!?). The breakfast staff were very friendly, and the location was good, but my bed was on the other side of a wall from the elevator, and it was very disruptive. Every time someone used the elevator, I could feel it and hear it in the wall beside my bed. If you go to this hotel, I highly recommend that you make sure your room is not next to the elevator. It was very hard to sleep.

Overall the stay was fine. The hotel is located in a nice location and the staff was very friendly. The main areas of the hotel are nice and more updated, but the room itself could use a refresh. The queen bed was two twins pushed together that kept separating and drooping over the side, making an uncomfortable sleep. The shower was also quite tight and half of the water seemed to come out of the connector.

Good hotel for the cost, especially if you're coming with your own car (parking was included and right behind the hotel). Dated rooms, but comfortable. Our room was in a corner of two major streets and the noise was unbearable, got not sleep, and had to use ear plugs the following nights. If you're noise sensitive, I recom to get ask for a room away from the street. The staff were wonderful overall. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful, and delicious, great deal for being included with the cost of the room. Our room did not have a coffee maker, but that was fine.

Great hotel... we had the top floor family room with staircase to the loft master bed and half bath. Kids each had their own beds and full bath was on the main floor of the room. Comfortable beds, spacious shower and bathrooms, great views of the surrounding countryside. Good AC as it was very warm mid August. Breakfast buffet was terrific and included with the room price. Free parking another plus. Located right at one of the city gates, perfect location, walkable to everything. 5 min walk to town center for the renowned night watchman tour. There was a fun (but noisy) beer festival in town while we were there so it was nice to stay where it was quieter.

Great location and good value for money. On the negative, we were assigned a room in another building across the back yard and at this cold time of the year, crossing the yard with our little two year old to get there for breakfast was a bit of a hassle. In addition, the reception wasn't occupied when we arrived on saturday 7pm. It took quite a while until somebody showed up.

"Overall, the hotel is a good one, but the restaurant negatively affected my experience. Two identical dinner portions could vary by as much as 30% in size, where one was normal and the other not nearly enough to be filling. When I asked about it, the waiters simply responded that since we were in Germany, the portions were smaller — which is nonsense. Because of this, when ordering dessert, I asked them to clarify how big a scoop of ice cream should be, but neither of the two waiters was able to give an answer. All in all, a lovely hotel — but eat elsewhere. It’s cheaper and better."

It was so nice to see there were apple gummy treats in our room as well. I loved the location and the ease of parking. We also arrived early and they were able to accommodate us immediately.

In a general manner, the hotel is quite good. It is well located, with easy parking. The room structure was working properly, everything you can expect, considering cost/benefit aspects. We had dinner at the restaurant connected to the hotel - a lovely evening, with great food, top-quality beer, and amazing service. Everything was going smoothly until breakfast on the departure date - we had a group of 4 adults and 2 toddlers. There was a great variety of options. But all of us that ate the eggs/omelets (5 out of 6) got sick, and I mean really, really sick (probably salmonella or a similar bacteria). My 11-month-old child had severe diarrhea and vomiting episodes for the next three days, which ruined a big part of our ongoing trip. Still rate the experience as OK overall, since there were really good aspects, especially the dinner, but the hotel needs to be very cautious about this food issue on breakfast.
