DJH youth hostel inside the wall, in an old mill and a half-timbered house in the Hospital quarter, with 178 beds and organic breakfast.

A hostel inside the wall
Rothenburg's youth hostel belongs to the DJH network, that of the German youth hostels, and is inside the wall, at the southern end of the old town, in the Hospital quarter. It occupies two old buildings: the Rossmühle, an old mill with an enormous roof full of dormer windows, and a half-timbered house in the Spitalhof, the courtyard of the old hospital. From the Plönlein it is five minutes on foot and from the Marktplatz, ten. It is the cheap option for sleeping inside the town and the one best suited to groups, families and people travelling by bike or train.
It has 178 beds in 40 rooms of three, four, five, six and more beds. Only the triples have their own bathroom; the others use showers and toilets in the corridor. There is free wifi in the common areas, table football, table tennis, board games to borrow and a meadow for playing or lying on. They speak German and English.
Meals and prices
Breakfast is a buffet, from 7:30 to 9:30, with organic products: the hostel has the EU organic label. It also serves lunch from 12:00 to 13:00 and dinner from 18:00 to 19:00, with a vegetarian dish every day and vegan or gluten-free options if you ask; Monday is vegetarian day. You can ask for a picnic bag for the route. Water is free.
The listing does not publish a general price per night: the 2026 rate is in a PDF linked on the same page. For Advent it offers a package, Rothenburg im Advent, of two nights with half board, from 20 November to 23 December 2026, from €375 per room, with children up to 17.
Getting there and getting around
Check-in is from 14:00 to 19:00 and check-out from 8:00 to 10:00; if you are going to arrive later, arrange it beforehand with reception. The hostel has no parking of its own: the public car parks are about five minutes' walk away and at reception they tell you which. If you arrive by train, you cross the old town from north to south in about twenty minutes. For bikes there is a locked room with 25 spaces, maps, tools and a drying room, and bike hire 600 metres away. It has the Bett+Bike certification, that of accommodation equipped for cyclists.
