Ideally located in the old town - less than a minute’s walk from the Market Square. Staff friendly and exceptionally helpful. Room clean and well equipped. Very good breakfast. Parking available on request, although the narrow streets are difficult to negotiate.

Great Service!

Smaller hotel in a historic building, parking is a bit of a challenge if you have a large car. Note that the heritage building rules do not allow for an elevator, but the staff is very helpful and will take your luggage to and from your room. Still, if you have severe mobility issues, this place might not be for you. One of the few places in Rothenburg that have air conditioned rooms available.Breakfast was excellent.

We arrived late and received a wonderful and warm welcome from the owners' daughter. She made us feel so welcome after a very long day and got us checked in quickly and easily. The next morning we met the owners and both were also very warm and friendly. We had a great breakfast in a beautiful breakfast room. This was most definitely the best stay we had out of the 11 hotels we stayed in on this roadtrip. If we ever come back to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, this is where we will be staying.

I loved how it was right in the village. The staff was so friendly! The room was smaller, but I was alone and it’s all that I needed. The bird was comfortable and TV worked. They even gave me a bottle of water. The windows were new and I was able to open them. It was nice. They had a fan in the room as well. I love the outside patio! I would definitely go back.

Hotel Sonne was outstanding. In the middle of town, close to everything. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. There is no elevator, so be prepared for a few stairs. You can get a dronk from their bar and take it upstairs to a very quiet and private terrace. Highly recommended.

I'm sure there might be friendlier hotels in the world, but I don't see how. This was, by far, the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. Everyone was helpful and exceedingly polite. The rooms were great and comfortable. They had AC! Breakfast was fantastic. Communication was great. All reasons to give the hotel 5 stars. But then there's the location. Just steps away from central Rothenburg and less than a minute's walk the the market square. 5 stars ( but only because I can't give it more).
