You'll need to take a ride on Rudolph if you want more Christmas magic than what the hotel glocke provides. Overlooking the ultimate Rothenburg ODT postcard scene, this quaint place can't be more central to shops, the Christmas market, or the starting point of the night watchman's nightly rounds including his delightful historic tales, some of which might be true. The staff greeted us sincerely. Since we arrived rather late, we chose to eat at the inhouse restaurant which turned out to be the only locals place we found during our entire stay. Great local specialties and service. We enjoyed our entire stay, and especially the staff.
