From sleeping to eating, Hotel Altkölnischer Hof succeeds on all levels…read more According to Trip Advisor, Hotel Altkölnischer Hof is the number one ranked place to stay in Bacharach. I think it's a fair assessment after recently spending three nights in the hotel. Well, not really at the hotel - I actually got a full apartment for three nights, with a California King, full kitchen, dining area, and living room. The room was massive, especially the bathroom which was more American size than European size. All this was reasonably priced for less than $100 a night, located in the heart of Bacharach. Parking is taken care of, with the hotel owning several lots around town. The service was excellent - they speak English very well, was very accommodating, and even translated the Rüdesheim Weinfest website for us. You cannot ask for a better hotel experience than at this place. Sure the rooms are nice, but is the restaurant worth going to? This was another outstanding experience. My girlfriend were able to eat here only one night, but would've loved to eat here again if we had the time. The exterior of the restaurant is beautiful and so German. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel (which included fries and a side salad) and my girlfriend ordered one of their massive salads. Both dishes were delectable - I mean just look at the beautiful pictures. The juicy Jagerschnitsel was complemented with the thick and flavorful gravy sauce, which was perfect for dipping fries in after and complemented nicely with a light side salad. My girlfriend's salad was just a menagerie of flavors - croutons, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, grapes and nuts in a maybe-it's-vinaigrette-maybe-it's-heaven dressing. We also ordered a bottle of Weingut Dr. Randolf Kauer 2014 Riesling which is harvest and made locally. Here I was thinking all Rieslings were sweet and we ended up getting a very balanced and immensely drinkable wine. Our entire meal, including the bottle of wine, was about 50 euros. Overall, from hotels to restaurant, Hotel Altkölnischer Hof has their act together. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

We had another wonderful stay at Rheinhotel in room 2, our favorite. We arrived early (around…read more1100) to bike the Rhein tal-to-tal and planned to drop our bags then bike. Lucky for us our room was already available so we brought our stuff up, changed, and hit our bikes for the ride to Bacharach. Room 2 has a large terrace with wonderful views over the Rhein, Sankt Goarhausen and Burg Katz. We enjoyed the one night. As always, breakfast was great and Gill was his usual: the best host! He gave us some hiking suggestions (we always hike in/above St Goar) for a future trip. Without a doubt this is the place to stay in St Goar.

We had no problem finding his hotel- more like a bed/breakfast! You can pull up in front and he will help you unload your luggage. Parking if you drove is just a short walk away along the Rhein. You are right in front of where the boats go up and down the river to sightsee - get on- get off and explore! I highly recommend the hotel. The room is very clean, the breakfast is incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed the view from the balcony each night! Breakfast is fresh coffee, cheeses, meats, a hot dish like scrambled eggs, sweet breads, jams, fresh fruits! I can't wait to return to visit- and I would book early- this a small boutique experience! Gil and Germany are a gem-!

I loved my stay here. When my fiance and I were planning a vacation in the Rhine Valley of Germany…read morewe were confronted with many places to stay in Bacharach. The reviews and the write up in Rick Steve's guide book made us choose this place and I was so happy that we did. While the taste in design may not be my choice, the fact that the owner worked so hard to make sure each detail was decorated and clean made me feel very comfortable. Fatima is so warm and kind. She made sure that she could make us as happy as possible, which included running to the market to make sure we had fresh apples! The free breakfast was much more than just the normal thing you get in hotels, seriously, try her fresh bread and scrambled eggs! Yum! Also, the restaurant was delicious in the evening! Plus, you're sleeping in history! I highly recommend this hotel!

My family stayed here when I was much younger on a trip to Germany. We recently came back to…read moreRudesheim and decided to book in the same location. The hotel has been updated since our last stay (obviously) and was very enjoyable. Most of the rooms don't have a great view, but if you're out and about most days, you really don't need one. The beds are comfortable and have typical German bedding (with individual duvets). There was a writing desk in each room, clothes cabinet, and night stands. Plenty of room to spread out with your belongings and stay organized while traveling. The bathroom was very nice - open, light, and extremely clean. There was a rather large standing shower and well lit vanity. The hotel is three floors, and does have a tiny, slow elevator. If you don't need to take it, I wouldn't, but if you have heavy luggage or have trouble doing stairs, it'll do the job just fine. There is a parking lot on site, which we used. The spots are fairly tight, but we were able to get in and out fine. The hotel is on a one way street, so depending on your approach, don't miss where you pull into the lot! Breakfast was wonderful. There was a great spread of meats, cheeses, yogurts, eggs, rolls, fruit, etc. all typical at a German breakfast. It was a nice treat to also have smoked salmon, which doesn't normally appear on the breakfast buffets. We dined in the hotel restaurant on the second evening and wish we'd eaten here our first night as well. The menu is small and less traditionally German. During dinner, I was feeling under the weather and our server was so helpful, taking my entree back to the kitchen to keep warm while I went up to my room for medicine and to lay down for a minute. When I rejoined my family, they offered to have the chef make whatever I wanted, whether it was on the menu or not, if that would help. I kept with my original dish, a fish entree, and it was absolutely incredible. Our party enjoyed having Rudesheimer coffees for dessert (a must!), and the waitress explained all of the steps as she was making them. The location is within walking distance from the river and across the road from a nice little wine shop (Georg Breuer). The front desk was helpful for directing us on other things to do while in the area. On our departure, we needed to contact a place in Köln and the owner was great about calling for us and translating everything! I can't say enough about the wonderful service we had. If you're looking for a place to stay at in the Rhein region, look no further!

Our spacious balcony room had beautiful vistas of the Rhein and offered plenty of space for my mom, husband and I to be comfortable and spread out a bit. The dècor was a bit 1980s, but it was very clean and well kept. There is an elevator, so no need to worry about being stationed on the 4th level of a 200-year-old building if you aren't able to use stairs. We seemed to have enough electrical outlets to get our cameras/phones charged up without taking shifts, so that was a nice bonus. The owners are an American man, his German wife, and their adult children who all help run it (I feel so bad I don't remember their names now!). They were so friendly (and fluent in both English and German) and full of advice and ideas for experience all of the lovely sights that Boppard and the rest of the Rhein have to offer. They are who sent us to the Sesselbahn and gave us detailed information about taking the KD cruise to our next destination instead of the train. The American loves to chat about the US too, so if you want to swap stories about home, he's certain to oblige! In the mornings, they have a fabulous German-style continental breakfast with coldcuts, cheeses, brötchen, sliced breads, soft boiled eggs, yogurt, müseli, butter, jams, honey, Nutella, and -- because there is an American in the house -- peanut butter (that made Gary a happy man!). They have your table pre-set with your dishes and such when you get to the dining room and they bring you your choice of tea, coffee or orange juice. The food is self serve, so you can get exactly what you want. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming here, and I just can't reiterate enough what a pleasure it was to stay here!
