“Lovely hotel with very friendly and considerate staff. It is family owned and run and you can feel that in the warmth of the welcome. We will definitely go there again. The dinner was delicious and the restaurant service was also top.”
“My wife and me where on our 15y anneversay. We had one of the best nights ever !!!”
“Bodenmais is one of our favorite places and this was the second time we've stayed at the Rothbacher Hof Hotel. The location is perfect; out of the way without much traffic. The stream running behind the Hotel is so soothing and sleeping was great. The room was spacious, comfortable and spotless. We enjoyed having a balcony to view the evening sky. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and had a wide variety of food and drinks. Last but not least, was the wonderful staff. From checking in to checking out, everyone was friendly and courteous; it's always nice to stay in a family run Hotel. We're looking forward to our next trip to Bodenmais and will definitely be staying at the Rothbacher Hof Hotel again. soothing and”
