Review of Hotel Kloster Stuble in Rothenburg, Germany

High above the Tauber River sits Rothenburg, Germany which is one of the most charming and enchanting cities to visit when you go travel to Germany. Rothenburg is a city that dates back to the middle Ages. It is surrounded by a fortress of a brick wall. If you are visiting Frankfurt it is only a two hour drive south from there. The Hotel we stayed at was called Gasthof Kloster Stuble . Hotel Kloster Stuble is a one of a few hotels that was recommended by world known traveler, Rick Steves. Hotel Kloster Stuble or Gasthof Kloster Stuble as it is commonly named is an absolutely charming hotel located in a quiet street off the beaten path of tourists, yet walking distance to the central square.

The hotel also has a restaurant offering you traditional and outstanding German cooking. Along with an exquisite meal, you have excellent wines for the connoisseurs in the family. It is located at Heringsbronnengasse 5. The name of the street is derived from the medieval fountains in which the pickled herrings were brought from the sea and stored in barrels. Behind the hotel is the Burggarten, translated "Castle Garden" which is a quiet garden overlooking the panoramic view of the city.

The rooms as you can see in my pictures attached to the article were decorated in an authentically décor with pine wood. Prices start at fifty four Euros and go to around one hundred and ninety Euros. That's equivalent to about eighty one dollars to two hundred and eighty five dollars.

The city of Rothenburg has become more touristy since the time I use to live in Germany back in the early 1980s. There are all sorts of shops and museums to be entertained by. However, the appeal of the romantic city still doesn't change. One of my favorite places to visit for Christmas decorations is world famous Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas shop. When you walk into the store you are greeted with one of the largest authentic German Pyramids built. No matter what the season you visit in, once you walk into the shop, you step back into yesteryear of wooden ornaments and you can't help yearn for Christmas. If you wondered what Santa's workshop would be like, well, Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas shop might fit the bill.

After a day of touring the city of Rothenburg and then coming back to your room at the Hotel Kloster Stubel, kicking off your shoes and plopping on the soft down tick beds completes the perfect visit.
