Romantik Hotel Markusturm

We had a fantastic stay here. The staff are friendly and seem very happy to be working here; always a great sign. The hotel feels family-run.
You pay for the location, which is absolutely magical.
Rooms are beautiful; modern with some antique pieces. We had a deluxe family room for four of us with a spacious bathroom and changing area.
Breakfast is only 10e per person and they were well-able to accommodate our child's food restrictions. The children loved having hot chocolate and waffles for breakfast. We also enjoyed the large chess set at reception.

Very nice hotel.  The staff were exceptionally nice and friendly.  It's in a great location to walk to everything in old Town.  Our room was great, large, good size bathroom.  As we have experienced several times on this trip,  there is NO elevator.   We were lucky the hotel had a colleague who took our bags up and back down for us.  The Wi-Fi was only so-so in the rooms, but was good down in the lobby.  Breakfast was our only disappointment.   Having been used to a buffet where you can choose what you want,  they were set up a bit differently.   They had bread on the tables  as well as juice and condiments.   We could order an egg any way we wanted it.  They brought out a tray with salami, Parma ham, 1 slice boiled ham, 1 slice of cheese, packaged cheeses, 1 mandarin orange and some grapes and a plate of smoked salmon.  We were free to pick up yogurt with a little granola/ fruit on top.  We don't eat much of what they brought out, and we hate wasting the food.   We didn't want to make a fuss so thank goodness for the peanut butter that we never leave home without.  It was very good on one of their rolls.  They do have a restaurant for dinner but we did not eat there.  It was a great hotel and would highly recommend staying there.  Loved Rothenburg as well!

Historical hotel that definitely complements the atmosphere of the old part of Rothenburg op der Tauber. This hotel locates in the most magnificent part, where everything is shrouded in history and centuries of various events. It is incredibly convenient that in a 5-minute walk you can park your car in the hotel parking area (but do not expect to see beautiful parking markings and smooth asphalt, park randomly on the surface covered with rubble and grass among the ruins of ancient walls 🤭). But in any case, it is closer and better than city parking outside the old town.
The administrator at the reception - a wonderful nice woman, allowed us to choose the room ourselves and willingly advised which walking route is better to choose.
Spooky creaky stairs, parts of stone walls and old pieces of furniture add magic entourage to the hotel. But our room was furnished more or less modernly. It was at the top floor and there was very hot (in June) despite it was a fan above the bed. The only disappointing thing was the tiny narrow blankets that were difficult for an adult tall person to cover himself. But also blankets smelled very bad, as if they had been used since the construction of the hotel 🤣 For my opinion prices per night for such kind of rooms are in a way too high, but of course you pay not for comfort but for location.
Do not expect the self grabbing buffet for breakfast, the waiter will bring you everything in tiny portions, but I think that the 2nd portion should not be a problem if required. Breakfast costs only 10EUR/person.
In general, I have a good impression of the hotel and very friendly staff. But if you are a city dweller accustomed to comfort, I think you should look for a more modern hotel with all the amenities.

Great central location for walking Rothenburg odT. The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. Our room was clean and made up every day.

It was great being able to drop our car and for the hotel to park it securely. We had a lovely large room which was very quiet. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. It was a shame the restaurant was closed whilst we were there. We loved the town and would happily stay again

This is an extraordinary place to stay!! The couple that run it are so very kind and take great pride in every detail. If you want the true old German feel and culture this is where you should stay. They recommend all the true local businesses and can help with any questions. Wonderful establishment and very well cared for.

Wonderful stay. Lizzie perfect hostess. Family-run. Father Stephen recommended place to eat while restaurant had Monday rest-day. Easygoing and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Well located in a historic building. The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

My Wife and I had a wonderful experience staying here in mid April 2025. Extremely pleasant staff that was very attentive. It is located in a great location that is a conveniently short walk to everywhere you'll want to go in this charming town. The restaurant at this hotel was incredible. Excellent food and service! Their staff was even kind enough to valet our car and retrieve it for us upon checkout which was greatly appreciated. We would recommend this hotel to anyone and would love to return one day!

An absolutely adorable place to stay. Staff is very helpful, accommodating and friendly. They have a great command of English as well.
You can experience the history just by admiring their furniture and display. Down the hall on the second floor they had an old doll in a crib which creeped me out a bit but it adds well to the ambiance! They offer German-style breakfast with plentiful bread, cheese, salmon with fresh fruit. They also have a friendly cat that walks around greeting guests- so precious.
Since we booked with an infant, they had a diaper pail, and a crib already set up, in addition to a baby bed. The hotel is right next to one of the towers so when you peek your head out the window (depending on which side of the building you got) you can observe its detail.
Although we didn’t use this service, the morning of your check-out, they can bring your car, load the luggage and drive it back to the parking lot so you can spend the remaining time to explore the wondrous town. It is also located at a pretty central area that gives easy access to everything you’d like to see. We’d love to come back!
