The best way to describe Hotel Uhl is charming and comfortable. Our room was very comfortable and cute, comfy duvets and pillows, lots of plugs and outlets (bring a plug converter if you come from outside the EU), an updated bathroom, and a wonderful view over both old town and the surrounding countryside. This hotel is also located right between two local landmarks (the Plönlein and the Seiber Tower), and is very walkable to food, shopping, the post office, and historic sites. You get in your steps every day with all the hills and steps, and even walking around the old walls. Check in was very easy and friendly. We appreciated having an old fashioned key to unlock our room and hotel access, so avoid any electronic difficulties. We also really appreciated their timely and welcoming communication before check-in so we felt confident that they were expecting us. They also provided us with a well-designed brochure & map of the city and area, which was great to help us plan our sightseeing and navigate the city. We would definitely stay here again.

Couldn't be more convenient!
Everything was great except furnishings were a bit outdated. Breakfast was served to us rather than buffet style and was very good. Super location! Parking up a hill and in a garage - very clean and secure.

We didn't get to actually stay in this hotel as it got overbooked. Not to worry though as the team there made sure we were in another great room next door. The area is wonderful, the staff are friendly, and breakfast was tasty. I couldn't believe that you could drive right up to the hotel as you drive down the medieval streets that look like they are only meant for walking.

This is what staying in a German Gasthaus is supposed to be like. We stayed inside the city walls and could just walk out the door and be in the old town. Robert met us at the front desk the first day and made sure we were cared for. Clean and well maintained room and breakfast was the way to start your day. THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY!

Our reservation said "four twin beds" and then we wound up packed in a room with a two twin beds together and a very small pull-out couch. Barely any room. Brought this up to the owner and said that's what twin beds mean. While in Garmisch, we had a big room and four twin beds, so I know what twin beds mean. Great location, staff not the friendliest.

Apartment Not in the Hotel
Our room was not in the hotel on the main street. It was up a hill quite a ways in a neighborhood. We were there during the historical heat wave and there was no air conditioning much like throughout all of Germany. If not for the extra walking and the heat it would have been a nice apartment to stay in.

Mixed feelings
Pros: The place is located right in the center of the town. They have their own parking garage (for 8 euro per night) The shower in the room was totally new and very nice Cons: The room itself was a bit outdated (but it does has certain charm to it) The only thing that separates the toilet from the room itself is a sliding glass door. The bed sheets were with holes and the towels were worn and old. The room was really cold during the night. The staff is not nice. The food is not good (in the whole town).

Centre of historic Rothenburg.
Firstly, the location is fantastic...right by the town wall in the beautiful Rothenburg Altstadt and a few mins walk to Marktplatz. Next, it should be stated that this is a restaurant/guesthouse, not a hotel. We arrived late in the evening - having phoned to say we would be late - and the proprietor was waiting for us to show us our accommodation, this was in another building, 5 mins walk away. That was a slight disadvantage but the accommodation was fantastic...we had 2 'rooms' (my husband and I and our son, who's in his 20s) only they were studio apartments rather than rooms. We were only there for 1 night but could easily have stayed a week...separate sitting and eating areas, kitchens and very roomy and comfortable bedrooms. Also private parking and outside sitting areas. Breakfast was served back down in the café, which was fine on the sunny day that we were there but probably not so fine in the pouring rain. Very good value for money and we would definitely stay again.

We had a studio apartment, a couple of hundred metres way from the main hotel/cafeteria building. The apartment was spacious, modern and very clean. The location is very central with all areas of the old town within a short walking distance. The breakfast in the cafeteria was varied and tasty.

We were traveling with 4 people, got a very nice spacy double room with upstaires and downstairs area. Housing is 3 min walk from the cafe Uhl and the famius Rothenburg view, but very conveniently located in a quiet street, so tourist noise does not disrupt. Breakfast is continental. Hotel is offering a parking, but there are additional fees charged for it. Overall excelent stay, we will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family.

Nice hotel right at the entrace to the old city
Brilliantly easy to access just inside the old city. Very easy check-in, as our car was double parked in front of the hotel. A staff member joined us and directed us to the enclosed, key locked, garage a block away. On leaving, we picked up the car and dropped the key back off, by driving by the cafe and handing it to a staff member, who was taking a food order at an outdoor table. Our front facing room was comfortable, but was noisy from the cars entering and exiting the city. Also a midnight closing bar was just a few doors away, which created a bit of noise from late patrons. The breakfast buffet was a cold buffet, but had a reasonable amount of choice. Staff was very friendly overall!

Was not worth the price
Outdated hotel advertised free WiFi wrong had to pay. Free breakfast consisted of a few left over cold cuts and day old veggies. I understand Breakfast in Germany is this but this was substandard, maybe due to out of season. The family who run hotel are too busy with the restaurant to deal with the guests.

Well located in old city, nice for family
We arrived at 8 PM and were escorted to an apartment about one block away from the cafe. We had a divided room with a kitchenette. The room had been fairly recently renovated, the bathroom was fine. We had expected a hotel room for two people. The cafe was closed but we found dinner nearby. All was well except that the bottom sheet of our otherwise comfortable beds, felt like sandpaper. I think it was terry cloth dried without a dryer. Breakfast was fine. We had a secure parking place.

We stayed in the "apartment" which was located in the residential neighborhood just up the hill from the cafe and hotel. We had a private parking spot behind a gate and enjoyed staying off the main streets of town. It was very quiet here. We enjoyed the location.

great small hotel & cafe. perfect location in the heart of the medieval town. hearty German breakfast, though not if you want to leave before 8 a.m. park your car in their garage and forget it while you are there. ask for room in the back overlooking the peaceful valley--beautiful!

Perfect location Rothenburg ob der Tauber
We stayed at Hotel Uhl for two nights in June 2013. The hotel is right on the Main Street of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The whole walled part of the old city is within easy walking distance. This town is a gem!!! The hotel location is perfect, but if you have a front room, the city night sounds (mostly just an occasioanal car or chatty tourists heading back to their hotel) are right outside your window when you go to bed. The staff is friendly, and the owner, Robert, speaks English, and is very helpful. The breakfast which was included was fine, nothing special - though the coffee was great, but with the costs of eating out in Germany, and especially Rothenburg, every little bit helps.

Enjoying a Fairy Tale town!
This hotel is exactly what we were looking for in Rothenburg! It has that quaint Frankish feel, and Robert and his family were so welcoming and friendly. The room was very spacious with a lovely view of the valley! The breakfast had a good variety of meats, cheeses and jams to go along with the fresh buns or croissants. We had afternoon coffee and cake there, and I would highly recommend the Poppyseed cake! Dinner there was also exceptional and I think I had the best tasting sauerkraut ever. We stayed for four nights and walked all through and around Rothenburg. It really is a beautiful town and staying at the Uhl just complimented the trip! We would certainly stay there again!

Beautiful setting, affordable
I found this hotel at last minute rush based on price and rating I was not disappointed. It is located in the far south end of the old city, so it is a fair walk from bus or train station if you have heavy lugguage but Am Poelein is one of the most picturesque streets in Rothenburg and for me it was worth the walk. My room faces the valley with beautiful view. Room interior a bit old but has traditional charm. Free breakfast a plus, but no free internet or free WiFi. At this price it is unbeatable. Definitely recommended
