Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The good: Breakfast was fantastic as was the location, right in the center of town. It was so quiet it was almost eerie. Parking was perfect and, although11 Euros daily, very reasonable compared to city parking in Germany. The bad: Significant amount of deferred maintenance in the rooms. Lots of hair and dirt and smell of urine in bathrooms from poor cleaning. Pillows and mattresses terrible, difficult to sleep. Overall average for Germany, I guess.
no shower curtain, broken (dangerously sharp) soap dish, urine smell from uncleaned areas beside toilet.

We stayed here in Dec during Christmas market. It is an older hotel, but it is expected given the location in a medieval town. It is central to almost everything. The famous Plolein corner is right outside the hotel. Breakfast is good. Internet connection is also good. The slight draw back is the 14 min walk back to the train station, which is slightly uphill.

Room was great. Breakfast was excellent! Lady at the desk in the evening that checked us in was very helpful. Lady in the morning that checked us out was not friendly at all. I’m pretty sure she yelled at me when I asked why we were charged €98 on top of our room charge. We needed a five-bed room. None was available on Expedia before we traveled so we reserved two rooms with four beds. When we arrived, we were given our keys, found out one of the rooms had five beds in it. The hotel was kind enough to refund us the cost for the unnecessary second room. However the next morning we were charged €98 for having an extra bed in our room! Seemed like a deceitful way to make an extra euro…

We were an off season last minute booking for two nights. The location couldn’t be more perfect. The staff was friendly and informative. The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our time in Rothenberg and our stay at the Goldener Hirsch.

Clean room, friendly staff and good breakfast. Hotel is quite old and some amenities did not work properly or were broken (bathtub, elevator). Otherwise very good stay and very conveniently located in the heart of Rothenburg with their own parking located in the next street. It is a 5 minute walk to the market square and hotel located right at the Plönlein. We enjoyed our Rothenburg experience a lot and will come again!

Nice hotel. We had an issue which they cleared up quickly. Breakfast was wonderful. There is a games room with pool and air hockey tables for free. Large sitting room upstairs where groups could sit and talk comfortably. Excellent location. Would stay again!
