Customer Reviews Rothenburg ob der Tauber
| 10 May 2013 Endy, Netherlands | 60% | |
| I used to like the idea of Youth Hostels. A bed and breakfast and a (shared) shower for a fair price.
However the more I travel the more I realize that the main benefit of a youth hostel (the price) is not based on reality. This week I traveled with a friend through Germany and I got a really good B&B in Volkach for 25 euro and a really good hotel in Wertheim for 35.
the Youth Hostels I stayed in (Rothenburg and Würzburg) were 28 and 31 euro and that is with a membership card! Otherwise I had to pay an additional supplement of 3 or 4 euro.
So basically you can get a nicely decorated room, with an already made bed and an in-room shower and toilet (towels included) for the same or even a better price. | ||

| Would stay again. Had a bunch of unruly kids charging around the place but no matter as we spent most of our time in the wonderful village. We were upgraded to a twin room without issues. Thanks. Would stay again | ||

| Definitely not a youth hostel, lots of teenage kids from school groups running around. Also had roommates that didn't really know the etiquette of hostel stays. But all my issues were with guests; the hostel itself was really good, and the staff helpful. Great little place to visit as well. | ||

Close to the old town. Friendly and helpful staff. generally a pleasant stay. But the e-copy map from train station to the hostel is not really helping.... | ||
