Villa Mittermeier

Villa Mittermeier wasn't only an amazing location but a unique lodging experience. I strongly suggest visiting Rothenburg ob der Tauber having the accommodation in this wonderful and brilliant Hotel, rooms super cleaned, big and full of details as the double shower heads. The open space kitchen has an incredible Team, it is truly impressive how they are skilled. The architecture of the building deserves to be visited. It's one of the best qualities I have ever seen in my life around the world. I had superlative breakfast ... another brick in the luxury and fantastic menù, built to make all the essences of the palate rejoice. Well qualified 1 Star Michelin 🌟 2024 ... go and enjoy that lodging experience. Fantastic!!!!

We stayed at Villa Mittermeier for one night in June 2025 in a basic room. The welcome and service was completely exemplary, the best you could expect, friendly and super helpful. Our electric bikes were stored securely and some urgent personal printing was very willingly and charmingly done by the staff. The room, whilst basic, was so very comfortable and well equipped. Location was brilliant. Very highly recommended, just book and stay here.

This is the nicest place we stayed during our trip to Europe. Very beautiful rooms, very clean. There is no air conditioning so that could be an issue if it got really hot outside, but was not a problem in my case - beautiful breeze came in through the windows. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others - right outside Rothenberg wall so very convenient. You can tell the staff take great pride in providing excellent customer service and a great guest experience.

We booked this hotel amongst several others for a two week tour of Europe. We stayed here for two nights. I expected to receive a request to review the hotel through the company we booked with, but this request didn't arrive so here I am reviewing on Tripadvisor because I feel it's important that people get a balanced view of the hotel and the restaurant. Simply because our experience was not what we expected. ||I will review the hotel first. The welcome was excellent and the parking we had requested was available. The rooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. The shower arrangement was a bit strange but it all worked and we felt that the hotel was very good value for money.||The restaurant was quite another matter. I would like to insert at this point that the restaurant staff were generally very helpful, and as we don't speak German we really appreciated the fact that they spoke very good English. When we arrived we discussed dining in the restaurant and specifically asked if they could accommodate someone with gluten intolerance and we were assured that they could. ||On entering the restaurant we told the staff about the gluten issue and they seemed a bit unsure. We wanted to order some drinks but were told that they had to present the menu first. This is not what you want to hear after a 10 hour road trip. However, they explained that the menu was tasting menu and we could order 5 courses of 7 courses. We ordered 5 each.||Before the first course was served, the staff brought some "amuse bouche", but immediately then told our gluten free friend that she couldn't eat it because it had tiny strips of toasted bread on it. This shouldn't have been brough to the table like this really, the toasted strips should have been removed in the kitchen. ||Moving on, we had our first course which is described as Roasted Duck liver but is essentially fois gras. I would be very surprised if it was roasted. It was very pleasant.|The second course arrived for 3 of us, but not for our GF friend. On querying this we were then told that as our friend had ordered four mains and a desert, and so she would miss a course and when we had all finished she would get her desert.||Trying to understand this very odd arrangements took some time, as our friend didn't want to miss a main course, nor did she want to eat her desert when we were finished. The staff couldn't understand this at all. We couldn't understand why we couldn't all have four mains together, and then the last course would be our last main and her desert.||The reason, we were told, was because this was the way they had always done it, and the chef didn't want to change the order in which he cooked things. This would be understandable if you didn't have several other people in the restaurant all ordering different things at different times anyway.||We were equally confused as to why the order of service wasn't even in line with the menu, which would have made more sense.||So let's get to the food. Considering that this is a Michelin rated restaurant and chef, we felt that the food was nice, but it certainly wasn't exceptional. There was little choice for someone with a gluten allergy and had we know it was so restricted we wouldn't have eaten there. ||The head chef appeared to be incensed that anyone should have the audacity to question anything at all, and was, quite frankly, very rude. Having waited over two hours and only had 3 courses of tiny dishes, my husband gave up and went to bed. (It was past 9.00pm by this time and we had sat down at 7.00). The rest of us waited and had the rest of our courses, but really the whole experience was spoilt. ||The menu itself is translated into English, and again we were grateful for this, but it is not translated well and the whole experience became quite farcical. I requested a reduction in the bill for the courses my husband had not eaten (bearing in mind this tasting menu" was 135 euros each), and the chef was even worse about this. Quite frankly, he should not be put in a public facing position.||In the end they reduced the bill by more than I had asked, so I am not sure what the fuss was all about, a huge amount of unpleasantness could and should have been completely avoided.||The next evening we ate out in Rothenburg for a quarter of the price and enjoyed it a lot more. So the moral of the story is, stay at the hotel but be sure you know what you getting in the restaurant, and be prepared for a very long wait for it.||To summarise, the food was pleasant enough, but the portions were ridiculously small even for a tasting menu (one asparagus spear!), it took far too long to be served and even allowing for inclusion of some drinks it is very, very expensive.||Breakfast was very nice, but also expensive.

This is a place to be. Casual, but sort of fancy. Good food, best entertainment. The rooms are of classical style with a lot of fancy stuff. Maybe a bit hot during summertime - no aircon available. Staff is nice and helpful - it depends a bit.

Perfect location right outside the old city wall. The room was clean and modern but maybe a bit small. Our room came with a very small balcony that we enjoyed during our stay. The old city was very easy to access for meals and sightseeing in this great town.

Highly recommend this hotel while visiting Rothenburg. The rooms are designed very well and the staff is very friendly. The location is perfect as it’s just outside the gates, so you are not disturbed by all of the tourists, but it’s easy to see everything Rothenburg has to offer. Great food as well.

Great location, helpful staff, great restaurant. Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend. The room had a beautiful breeze flowing through so it was a comfortable stay in summer.

Given its price point, I had no regrets having booked this property, it's good. Nothing amazing of course at this price point, about what one would expect. Hard to imagine that this counts as a 4 Star, but do keep in mind that ratings in Europe are different. I'd put it at a 3 Star without doubt. Design: the exterior neoclassical design is quite nice, it is cozy, inviting and at the same time, elegant. Probably the best part about the hotel. The lobby is small and simple, as one would expect for a hotel in this range. The room design was also quite a simple one and was a bit cramped, but modern and nice which is contrasting to many hotels in Rothenburg that show their age and lack of upkeep. Service: at check in, they were very direct as people appear to be all around Germany. Basically, straight to the point, no chatter. The lady was kind to walk us to the room. Comfort: the room bedding was again about what one would expect, not particularly comfortable, but bearable. There is no air conditioning, which can get annoying depending on the weather. Coffee maker did not work despite many attempts. Parking is very limited. Shower was nice and hot. Overall impression, I'd stay here again as options are pretty slim in Rothenburg. However, it does have improvement areas and this design is much nicer than the old hotels around town.

Breakfast was fantastic. The omelette is incredible. The hotel is great too - just a little warm in the summer with no ac or fans

This is a gorgeous little hotel situated right outside Rotheburg ob der Tauber's old city walls. The location is excellent and there's a small parking lot for cars, which is quite convenient. If you can't fit in the hotel's lot, there's a public lot right across the road. Villa Mittermeier looks more like a fabulous giant home rather than a hotel. There are a few corridors and stairs to navigate until you make it to your room, which is pleasantly updated with contemporary amenities and furniture - a rare find in historic Rothenburg. The double rooms are small, but efficient and elegant. You get a nice modern television, great bed and bedspread, and one of those futuristic looking coffee machines. There's even a minibar! For a small, bed and breakfast-type place, Mittermeier hits all the marks. My only real issues were that (1) the internet connection was shoddy at best, and (2) the common area was closed from 9:00pm. Other than that, everything was lovely!

Excellent. Stylish, comfortable, friendly, good food and excellent value. Recommended.

We stayed here for 2 nights recently, after seeing pictures on Expedia. We ended up booking their highest category room directly from their website instead (it wasn't available on Expedia). The room was spacious and modern, but not a "cold" or uninviting type of modern. The bed was very comfortable, as was the space. We requested extra pillows and they were there when we arrived. Staff was very friendly. Everything was updated in a professional way. The bathroom had a floor heater and the lighting in the room was amazing. The rest of the hotel is beautiful, inside and out. Someone else on Yelp likened it to a "giant house" and I would agree, it feels like you are staying at your rich uncle's mansion. The common rooms upstairs are elegant and comfortable. Although it was too cold for the front porch, that space also looks very inviting. The location is great, you can walk in about 90 seconds through one of the main towers and you are inside! I loved how we were not in the chaos of parking, driving, and pedestrians but that we were so close. The downsides, which may not be downsides for everyone, were mostly minor. First, our room was directly under the "after dinner drinks" room, so we started to hear noise and footsteps by 6:30 a.m. or 7 a.m. daily as staff started to open. We were also located on the first floor (down below the main/second floor) near the bathrooms for the restaurant and the elevator for the hotel. Had we not been there during off-season, during which few rooms were rented and the restaurant was closed, this likely would have been a much noisier room. In the future, I would ask for a second or third floor room, away from the stairs. Second, I was not a big fan of their toiletries, especially the lotion. Third, they lock the common spaces when the front desk closes, so if you want to go upstairs and use any of their living room spaces after hours, you are out of luck. Fourth, the reception desk is curiously located behind a screen (partition) so when you walk in, someone may call out and you don't know where they are...because they are sitting behind a screen (?). That didn't make any sense to me. Fifth, breakfast is not included, it's about 12 euros pp. They told us it was a "very good breakfast, you will like it," but with the exception of a few items, I was not impressed. It was a spread that was smaller with less quality than two other hotels at which we had stayed earlier in our trip. They offered hot drinks and juice but no water (and we had just gone running). The waitress asked us what types of eggs we wanted and we ordered quite simple dishes--it was only later we saw their printed menu and several additions to your eggs are possible (e.g., chives, ham, bacon, vegetables). I wish she would have told us that. Perhaps this was due to being off-season, but should we stay there again (which is a very strong possibility if we ever find ourselves in that corner of the world again), I would not spend that amount of money for the breakfast. Sixth, the shower and toilet are located in little glass rooms with glass doors that slide together, but not all the way. So basically, there is really no visual or auditory privacy if you are on the toilet and water got all over the floor in the entire bathroom from the shower because there was nothing stopping it from going under and through the space where the glass doors did not meet. If you went with a friend, family member, or dating partner (new relationship), that entire situation might be a edgy and fun or grossly uncomfortable. Last, our room was really hot. It's possible we just didn't find the thermostat in the room, but we felt we could not regulate the heat. On the second night, we had to sleep with the slider doors open (it was 30 degrees outside) because there are no windows at that level--a little disconcerting in that anyone could have snuck in. Overall, beautiful space, tasteful and elegant. Room make-overs are stellar. There are a few points that could use some extra tweaking but we would definitely stay here again.
