We will be traveling to Rothenburg on July 3. The place we had lined up to stay fell through and we are looking for a place for 1 night. There are 7 of us in the group. Can anyone suggest a bed and breakfast or hotel?
We are looking for something that is not too expensive. Thanks alot.
With a group of seven this can be difficult if you all want to stay at the same place. Contact the tourist information and ask if they know anything.

My 2nd tip on link below is for a good priced clean, good location, friendly, B&B in Rothenburg. We booked 3 rooms on one visit with multiple families. Stayed here twice. Hope it helps-

Hello,
You could try the Hotel Hornburg at hotelhornburg.rothenburg.de I have stayed here and it is wonderful. They are right outside the wall of the city. They have several rooms for families. Check out their website and their rates.
Good luck,
Donna
This building called the "Ratstrinkstube" and its located at the right side from the Town Hall.
You find some clocks at these side of the building.The windows at the left and right side opened nearly every hour and shows the legendary "Master Draught" of Rothenburg from 1631.
Inside of these building you find the Tourist Information.
I very often wondered, where the name "OB der Tauber" comes from and I found out about it, when I had a look into the landscape around Rothenburg from the observation-tower of the townhall:
When you click on my picture you will see that Rothenburg was built on a small hill, and in the valley the tiny river Tauber is flowing - you see a small part of the Tauber on my picture, and a winding path is leading up the hill to the city.
So Rothenburg is OB(erhalb) der Tauber, (high above the river Tauber) My fondest memory of Rothenburg ??
To be honest, it was quite an achievment for me to get out on the small platform, from where I took this picture and I was lucky to have some minutes there on my own.
Finally when climbing down again I was successful as well without slipping down the dangerous steps. More details about the last steps to the observation-tower are under my "Warnings"
Bring plenty of extra bags, particulary if headed there during November or December. Christmas markets abound and you'll want plenty of room for presents. My cousin's husband (sweet guy that he is) bought us Rothenburg bags to carry our packages in. Bring a raincoat and/or umbrella if visiting during the winter season. You'll need it - particularly if you enjoy photography. :-) Yes, a camera is a necessity.
