Hotel berhampiran Bingen-Gaulsheim, Bingen am Rhein

Recently stayed at this lovely small hotel which is very nicely located centrally in Rudesheim but far enough away from train noise or busy streets, although there is a bar opposite we were unaffected by any noise being located in a Comfort Junior Suite in the eaves of the hotel. Our suite consisted of a small sitting area and bathroom on the entry level and two bedrooms up a spiral stairway, this would be my main issue that you had to negotiate this stairs in the night if you needed the bathroom, plus the dressing table and storage area for the outer bedroom was also downstairs. There was a little dressing table and some shelves in the inner bedroom but storage is quite minimal so be prepared to live mostly out of your suitcase. However despite these issues the room had air conditioning, was spotless, beds were comfortable and bathroom well proportioned with lots of storage and a good hairdryer, there was also a good sized fridge which was very handy. Breakfast was served in the beautiful little restaurant which was unfortunately closed this year, there was also a nice little courtyard area where you could eat, we had a lovely lady waiting on us each morning and her helpfulness and friendly nature made up for the frosty unwelcoming woman who checked us in upon arrival. English speaking guests should be aware that it can be difficult to be understood, many staff have little English and learning a few basic German phrases would be helpful, this whole area is not really geared up for the English speaking market and is more aimed at native clients, this is reflected in the food also but that was fine we were there to experience something different and enjoyed the fare although asking for decaff coffee proved very difficult in some places its a bit of a rarity apparently! Overall we were very happy with our accommodation and thought it good value for money, maybe keep the frosty lady away from reception to ensure first impressions are true to the real hospitality of this charming hotel.

If you can imagine living in a cuckoo clock house this is the hotel to stay in. It is a traditional German hotel full of beautiful features. We went with a coach trip to the Christmas market in Rudesheim and stayed for four nights. The hotel is usually a bed and breakfast hotel in the winter - the Italian restaurant is closed. They gave suggestions where you can go to eat but on our trip they cooked us an evening meal. We didn’t have a lot of choice but what was given to us was well cooked and home made. Breakfast was amazing for me. I love meats and cheeses, breads and jam. I could make a Caprese salad as they had slices of mozzarella and tomato and a stunning pesto sauce. There was an onion chutney to die for and other accompaniments to go with the meats and cheeses. Hot food was bacon, scrambled and boiled eggs. Cereals, yoghurts, fruit was available. There was a small bar where we could get drinks throughout the evening. The hotel itself was spotless and very warm. The rooms are nothing fancy and modern but cosy and very adequate for your stay. The bed was comfy and the shower powerful with lots of hot water. No noise from other rooms. The wi fi is stable and we had no problems with it. The hotel was so beautifully decorated for Christmas. Everywhere you looked there were stunning wooden/natural decorations. I was in heaven. We had a room overlooking the road and had no issues with the cars passing. Our windows were shut as it was cold, this could change if they are open during the summer. The hotel is situated a two minute walk outside the market, nice and quiet. The Christmas market in Rudesheim is stunning. Cobbled streets and alleys, medieval houses everywhere. Like being in a fairytale. Excellent market, over 100 stalls. We loved the hotel and Rüdesheim so much we have booked to return 2025. Can’t wait.

We stayed here one night on our cycling trip, and after a rough start (rather grouchy proprietor man at the front desk who didn’t speak any English and seemed sick of cycling guests, although we were only 4 easygoing people), enjoyed our stay. Bike storage was up around the corner through a garage that the proprietor had to open for us. We had a nice big room (though our friends had a tiny single next door to us and a larger single across the street and up several flights of stairs, so they were less thrilled). Our room was over the little walking street but quiet and comfortable. There was plenty of space, a big bed, closets and shelves, a big bathroom, and a good little desk and fast Wifi. The hotel is in a great location in the main old streets of Zell, with one side facing the river and the other the walking street. There is a good, expansive breakfast buffet in the huge dining room downstairs overlooking the river, with friendly and bustling service. Strangely, even though it was still tourist season (early Sept), and it was a Tuesday night, we found almost no restaurants open for dinner and were even turned away at more than one (at 7-7:30pm). But we ended up having an excellent dinner at a friendly Italian restaurant near the hotel.

Very nice three days spent at this hotel . Yes we were here last Christmas and had the same room overlooking the road ,railway and the River and expecting the noise !! View from windows always something to see . Perfect with a cup of tea and a biscuit in the morning The room was large tidy and clean and the hotel has many other rooms that are quieter. Fabulous breakfast with a glass of Prosecco if required . Tasty bread rolls ,cheeses , salmon ,sausage eggs etc with a great view of the river Bar area with Tv .Parking 10 euro a day Christmas market begins 30 metres away ! Dont forget to take a trip on the chairlift ! To the monument This hotel is great to visit any time of the year . Give it a go

the bedding is mediocre, if you want to have back pain when you wake up, then you are at the right address. The sauna's advertising is false because access is chargeable. The positive thing is the warm welcome from the staff and the good food at breakfast. the train passes all day and all night: the walls are shaking

We stayed in nice hotels on this trip. This was the best of the best. It is located near a tiny hamlet called Johannesburg which is near the Rhine River. Town does have a couple of restaurants and also a bank with an ATM machine. There is also a Shell station very close to the hotel. Located on a beautiful vineyard. Hotel is spacious, relaxing, tranquil. It is a modern two story structure. One drives through a gated entrance (no guards, left open). Parking surrounds the hotel and is easy. Next to the parking is a building housing two restaurants that have incorporated the remains of a 19th century pseudo castle. Room was very large, elegant, modern. Bathroom also large and modern. Bed was comfortable but the cot they brought in was torture. Window faced the front of the hotel. We could see the 'castle', vineyard. Hotel staff were very nice. Provided us with gifts of wine and other amenities. I had concerns booking this. We wanted to spend several days seeing the Rhine river castles and I was worried it was too far from that. Adding to my concern was that it was only 35 minutes to drive to Frankfurt airport. So I thought this was out of the way. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel was a great base for exploring the best parts of the Rhine. Drive along the river was pictureque and we could easily reach what we wanted to see in a short time. The hotel is located on a slope rising above the river. Driving downhill through the small town brought us to the river's edge. There is a car ferry that runs frequently taking one to the other side so we did that one day. Another day we drove the highway on our side of the river. Both were great drives. Getting to the airport on our last day was quick and easy (helped that it was Sunday when everything is closed). FYI - for those with a rental car you can fill up at the airport just as you get to the rental return/departure area.
