The train station is a short walk away, though cobblestone streets may be challenging with large luggage. The hotel’s central location puts shops, restaurants, and the Market Square within easy walking distance.

An Outstanding Stay – Highly Recommended
Romantik Hotel Markusturm is truly exceptional. The management family and their entire team are warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming — you immediately feel well looked after from the moment you arrive.
The hotel itself is beautiful, full of character and charm. The rooms are enormous, impeccably maintained, and extremely comfortable, combining historic elegance with modern comfort.
We also had the pleasure of enjoying the New Year’s dinner, which was absolutely delicious and very well executed — a real highlight of our stay.
Overall, this is an amazing hotel set in an equally amazing environment. Everything came together to create a memorable experience.
Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful stay — we will most certainly return.

This hotel and the family that runs it are amazing. I stayed here a few years ago when passing through the area and opted to return with my family. The town is incredible and this hotel is a very nice historic building in a prime location. The hotel staff and owners are extremely welcoming and the rooms are very nice. Would highly recommend.

A beautiful hotel with a very clean room and friendly staff. The breakfast was tasty and the hotel is super convenient to the Old Town and not a far walk to the train station. We came for our anniversary and hope to return in a few years!

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!
