The Lochner is in Markelsheim (not Bad Mergenteim, as appears on some sites). Markelsheim is a charming wine village situated under impressively steep vine slopes.
The hotel is as charming as the village. It's a classic old German building into which they've somehow managed to install lifts. Some of the floors are on "half-storeys" so not all the rooms avoid stairs.
There was ample parking at the back, though the spaces were tight. After a very hot day, my room was a bit warm at night, even...

They let us stay in the room where Dalia Lama once stayed and we felt honoured and privileged. We left Munich to drive towards Rotherburg and then on to the hotel. It was such a memorable journey in that the country side scenic was overwhelmingly beautiful..... We want to come back to this part of Germany next year and stay at this wonderful hotel.

I had a very clean single "comfort" room with large bathroom, balcony and a great view of the river. Easy walking distance to the town centre, beautiful, quiet location with nature walks in front of your doorstep. Great breakfast, eggs and bacon made on the spot to your order.

Staffs were exceptionally kind and friendly. Very clean and spacious rooms for a couple with a child.
Had a dinner at the hotel retaurant and it was surprisingly good- good taste, good presentations...
Would stay here again and definately recommand to friends.
Can't ask anything more for the price I paid.

Lovely rural location but only 6 miles from Rothenburg. Dog friendly. Pretty room with plenty of hot water and nice shower. Helpful owners. Quiet. Nice restaurant.

Really liked this hotel, a tiny village that has two great hotels, this being the more affordable. Modern interior with lots of design touches and a cool positive vibe. Genuinely friendly staff who are happy to help. A pleasant 2 days spent.

The staff here are professional, warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and Uli in particular made us feel special. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for the way it treats it's guests, it's comfort and it's proximity to Rothenburg.

We stayed room only and our expectations were exceeded. The communal kitchenette room was excellent as we were able to make fresh drinks and have access to a range of chilled beverages at fair prices. Ideal if you are a late arrival or hadn’t had a chance to pick up anything.
The location was great as it was nice and quiet and a 1km good walk into town, welcome after a long drive.
The host is a lovely gent and very welcoming.
100% recommendation.

A beautiful, family-run, hotel in a lovely location within a reasonable (€20) taxi run of Rothenburg. Nice kitchen and a good bathroom in an annexed family suite. Excellent breakfast and kind staff. Would absolutely recommend and visit again.
