Hotel Eisenhut

Hotel Eisenhut

10/10 Excellent
"You will have to work hard to find a better hotel and location in Rothenburg. In its day this would have likely been the top hitel and it still shows very well. Apparently Winston Churchill once stayed. The restaurant with its Grand outdoor deck is a must for afternoon cocktail. Breakfast buffet which is extra was one of the nicest yet in our travels. Rooms are big and bright with great beds. Hotel parking was a little walk and quite reasonable. Love the location in old town."

"The only not so good thing about this hotel is that the parking is a 10 minute walk away out of the old city. But thus is to be expected with being in the old town. I loved the decor and the breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size with ensuite and there is an elevator. It‘s a good location within the old city."
