부르크호텔(Burghotel)

飯店位於羅騰堡城牆之上，最初以為較為偏遠，其實不是，因為直走幾分鐘就到 St Jakob’s Kirche 和市政廳廣場，很方便。因為在城牆的邊緣，所以很安靜。早餐的用餐區看到一望無際的河谷景觀，非常壯麗。飯店的地窖Game Cellar 仍然保留著數百年前的裝飾，光是在飯店已經像走進時光隧道一樣。房間的設施更不用說，優雅、乾淨、空間感大，十分舒適。而飯店的主人85歲的Otto先生，為人十分親切，我們住了三天兩夜，像在家裡一樣，非常非常溫馨的體驗。

Café da manhã excelente. Pontos negativos: não tem elevador e ficamos em um quarto no terceiro andar. Sem ar condicionado.

We stayed here only for one night, but boy was it memorable! Location is very convenient close to Kirchplatz. Onsite parking for 10 €. The room we had was huge with a sitting room and lots of closets. Best was the walkout to the terrace looking out to a wonderful view of the valley. Outstanding service. Breakfast was very filling as well. Will stay here again in a heartbeat.

Four pleasant days in a very good hotel. Burg Hotel is a very nice small, family run hotel, in a quiet and nicely convenient location. All the people and the whole atmosphere in the hotel are very friendly. Rather simple. though substantial, breakfast in a very pleasant room with a marvelous view. Nice experience

Yet again we visited Burg Hotel. I have lost counts on how many times I have been here. A fantastic old hotel on the old wall of Rothenburg. The city is a marvel of a place with old buildings all over. The city is a must see, and Burg Hotel is a fantastic place to stay the night there. Free wifi and freezer in the room. Breakfast can be eaten on the wall if the weather is good. Parking garage for a small sum extra. Will be back again next year, I hope.

There are hotels, and then there “are” hotels. This was my favorite place in our month-long journey through Bavaria. Hopefully, you will have a chance to meet 84-year-old “Otto,” the manager of The Burg. His daughter is actually the proprietor, while he helps operate the establishment. You will find him sitting down in the front foyer sipping his coffee, or eating a slice of cake or just reading the paper--and sometimes napping. If you talk to Otto, you will find out that he is part of an 8-generation family that has lived in Rothenburg a long time. He was five years old in 1945 when a bomb exploded outside his family’s hotel in town. Luckily, an American officer called off the air-strikes as this officer once vacationed in Rothenburg before the war. Otto states, “The Americans were good to us.” Otto may tell you that the James Bond character, Roger Moore, once stayed at the Burg. He will “not” tell you what room Roger stayed in—I tried four times to do so. The WIFI code is “Bond—007.” Besides the memories, my fondest collection is Otto’s hand-written receipt—impeccable handwriting. We stayed at the Burg for three days in early June of 2023. We arrived by train and used Google to help us navigate a walking path to the Burg. We would recommend calling The Burg having a taxi pick you up. The cost of going back to the train station by taxi was about $9.00US—well worth it. If you have a car, there is a good size garage on property. Make arrangements before hand. At 10 Euros, it is a superb rate. On-line you can choose a room. We picked Room #15. We highly recommend that room as it has not one, but two windows that face into the valley. I really think Roger stayed in this room—but Otto will never tell. Our room has a four-posted bed. After running into one of the posts at night, I quickly learned how to navigate through the large room. There was a smaller, but comfortable bed to the far end of the room. The bathroom was, indeed, adequate. Breakfasts are a treat. Tables are located in a separate breakfast area over-looking the valley. Having decaffeinated coffee was not a problem. Eggs were cooked to order. The bread and croissants were heavenly. In early June, the nightly temperatures went down to the low 50’s-10C. Otto says “it really does not get hot in Rothenburg. Google says that the average highs in the summer is 74F. In any case, there was a large fan in the room for us warm-blooded people. If there is a fault to the Burg, well, it was getting ice. My wife needed it for her shoulder. Usually, the restaurant, owned by the daughter, would provide ice across the street. The restaurant, unfortunately, was closed at our visit. A staff member will take your bags upstairs as their is no elevator. We would recommend highly of trekking around the mile-long Medieval walls. It is free. We did like the outside restaurant of Reichskuchenme, which Otto recommended. The restaurant, Zur Hoell, was a bit of a

Wonderful experience although we only stayed one night. Rarely do I like to go to the same place twice but I certainly hope to return again. I would suggest a minimum 2-nights for a visit to this city and longer if you just want to decompress in the slow, relaxing pace. One thing I really noticed about the hotel and the city in general, when I awoke in the evening and early morning, there was not a sound to be heard. Wonderful quiet.

Lovely hotel that felt like a B&B. Quiet area but with easy walk to the main square. Friendly staff and the breakfast was delicious with beautiful views above the city wall.

The hotel is absolutely lovely. The view is breathtaking and the man who owns the hotel is kind and genuine. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
