Hotel berhampiran Brückenhofmuseum, Konigswinter

Arrived late afternoon in sweltering heat, looking forward to a cool shower and a fresh bed. Unfortunately, we were given room 106 located in an outbuilding 5 minutes walk from the main building. First impressions were not good as we passed a large dirty laundry cage situated at the beginning of a very badly marked/scuffed corridor towards a door which looked like an entrance to a cellar, badly in need of paint. My husband opened the door and pushed me backwards as the heat was unbearable. Outside was approximately 25 degrees but inside was at least 40 degrees with the window open. The room was very small, comparable with a budget hostel. The bathroom was tiny but clean. No facilities for tea/coffee, no comfy seating area, no cosmetic articles… We went back to the reception and as I explained about the heat in the room and the fact that we could not enter the room to use it. The receptionist answered sarcastically that I should open the window!!! This unleashed the beast in me as I wanted a normal hotel room that I could use. Eventually, we were given a standard double room which was basic but comfortable . There was no possibility to order food other than call for external pizza or select from turkey breast or fish which was lukewarm on the buffet style restaurant, no chips or potatoes, the only „warm „ option was rice. Fruit and vegetables available. Understandably, we could not take the dog to the restaurant however, we could take food from the buffet to the bar. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this hotel. We paid extra for our tiny dog and were offered substandard accommodation. I want to relax on holiday, I don’t want to quarrel with a receptionist to get what I paid for. Please note that this is not 4 stars according to the international classification.

We have been searching for a hotel in the area we like for a few years and were never quite happy with the places we stayed at. Our trials and tribulations though have finally come to an end. We love the Dreesen. It is a historic hotel still owned by the progeny of the original founder. The house lies directly on the Rhine river offering a stunning view of the fabled Seven Mountains (think Cinderella), the Dragon’s Rock (think Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelungen) and the quaint little town of Königswinter. In good weather a promenade along the Rhine is a must. It is maybe noteworthy that the hotel while in Bonn is not close to the center, but is situated in the leafy and well-healed pool suburb of Bad Godesberg. There is public transport but without a car or a bicycle you will need to walk a bit to reach that, if you don’t want to take a taxi. The hotel offers bicycles though and the beauty of the location makes up for the rest. The hotel is in a nice historic building, has a beer garden, a good restaurant and good rooms. Those with balconies and Rhine-view are a special treat. The best thing about the Dreesen though is the competent and friendly staff. We had a lot of little requests (circumstances!) and we never heard a no. We got an early check-in, help with last minute ironing and laundry, etc. the staff is also exceptional nice and fun to converse with. We felt very welcome and at home. Thank you so much for making our stay so pleasant. We will be back for sure.

We stayed at Steigenberger Hotel for one night, and at the entrance it was exactly how you would expect a five star hotel. Friendly and helpful staff, that can help you where and when needed. Though when we got to the room itself we had a little unpleasant surprise. The room itself was nice, good view over the Rhine and the interior is nice. But when I dropped my phone and it fell under the bed, I went to pick it up and underneath the bed was a dirty tissue with a substance on it that looked to be semen. Also when I shined my flashlight under it to take a video of it, I found a pair of socks from the previous guests. This indicates the room was not really cleaned properly. There also was a lot of dust on the bedside tables, and a lot underneath the bed (which I myself don’t mind as it’s a hard place to vacuum). Not really up to the high five star standard, but the rest was really good. Nice views with a good bed and spacious room. The Biergarten is also beautiful, especially at sunset. I have to give it 4/5 because of the stuff we found in the room, for the rest it was a very pleasant stay.

On the Rhein . Pretty central, walking distance from the station, very nice staff, luggage storage on arrival and departure. Beautiful clean cared for hotel. Breakfast buffet offered everything , fresh honey, smoked fish, hot, cold dishes , fruit I could go on . The swimming pool was perfect and our stay coincided with the wine fest. Wonderful local wines. The train to the top of the drachenfels stupendous and views that are wonderful. All helped along by beautiful weather. We will be back and if this is a taste of maritim hotels we will be staying in others . Konigswinter a beautiful spot on the Rhein to stay

Хороший отель но очень простой, в номере нет ни чайника ни холодильника, в моем случае еще и не было горячей воды . Завтрак хороший без изысков но минимальный набор присутствует
