Birkenhof Vacations from $1,384

Great place to stay. Highly recommended

Beautiful hotel with great rooms and great staff and great location

A charming, comfy hotel in the heart of old Ansbach! The hotel is family owned and staffed by friendly, helpful staff. The excellent restaurant has a delicious optional breakfast and an incredible dinner menu! The garden dinning area would be very nice in summer! Limited but nearby parking. No elevator but staff will help with luggage.

Convenience: located within the medieval walls of Rothenburg. The valet parked our car, and we walked everywhere. Close to restaurants, activities, and shops. Runs a little like a BNB. Beautiful: the area is gorgeous, and the hotel is 750+ years old, which makes it charming and interesting. Food: dinner is amazing - the best meal we had in Germany and Austria on a 2-week trip. NOTE: the restaurant closes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so make an effort to get there on the other days - well worth planning around. Breakfast was ok. Not nearly as delicious as dinner, but an easy way to fill your stomach before walking through the town. The menu was confusing for breakfast. I think everything was available if requested, but then some of the items just came out of the kitchen without us saying a word. It was odd. Comfort: the bed was comfortable. The hotel was not air-conditioned, as it said in the listing, but there was an oscillating fan. The towels were clean but could have stood on their own bc they were so stiff - rough like sandpaper. One or two of the towels smelled like detergent/fabric smell enhancer. They seemed clean, but man, were they rough! SPA? In the review, there was mention of a sauna space (with pictures), but I didn't see or hear anything about it. It wasn't why I booked the room, but I thought I should mention it in case others are interested in the sauna.

Room had everything we needed and staff were fantastic. Good Location being 10 minutes walk to the old town .
