Hotel berhampiran Campingplatz Josef‘s Ruh, Rhein-Sieg-Kreis

The following was absolutely resplendent: - the room the breakfast (really sublime) the staff the cleanliness availability of an iron & an ironing board the pool the slides close to Siegburg The only slight 'blemishes' were, access to the seltzer/water dispenser, outside breakfast & that a refrigerator was not available, within the room.

Ich war als Tagesgast Teilnehmer eines Seminares, daher kann ich die Übernachtungsmöglichkeitrn nicht bewerten. Das Gebäude scheint eine Generalüberholung hinter sich zu haben, es ist alles sehr neu, edel und modern. Die Dame, welche offensichtlich für unser Seminar verantwortlich war erschien außergewöhnlich freundlich und gut strukturiert. Der Tagungsraum war hell, sauber und ausreichend groß. Das Catering zu den gebuchten Pausen war lecker, abwechslungsreich und mittags/abends Büffet. Auch hier sehr lecker und viel Auswahl. Zum Abendessen erschienen genug junge Kellner. Etwas ungewollt wirkte das Lichtspiel in der großen Empfangshalle. Hell/ dunkel und final rot-orange… schwierig… Passend zu der fragwürdigen, roten Beleuchtungsfarbe teilten sich die beiden rezeptionisten kurzzeitig einen Stuhl neben- oder vielmehr aufeinander. Dies schien mir nicht sehr angemessen für diese Art etablissement. Der Abend endete in der Schönen großen Hotelbar. Hier gibt es keinen Kritikpunkt.

Our honeymoon trip took us here for the first night. We wanted to stop in Cologne to see some sights the next morning, This was a perfect location just off the motorway, and only 20 minutes back in to Cologne. When we arrived, the staff member that saw us in was pleasant, satisfactory English, but seemed to lack any personality, like she was bored. The restaurant in the hotel was closed when we arrived, when we queried this, we were told its a breakfast only facility. I asked for some recommendations for the local area to get some dinner, I was handed an A4 sheet with multiple eateries. My Wife and I like to read some reviews before going, and found only a couple out of the whole list was on Google or Trip Advisor, so not the most helpful. OK if your not bothered though. Dimitri Grill up the road, about 20 minute walk, I highly recommend this place! (Reviewed separately) The room was pleasant, odd shape, clean and comfortable. It had a safe, sofa and chairs, bed was hard, which was nice. The shower was amazing, could have stayed in there all day. The room however was only made up for one person, we had to call down to get more bedding and towels. These turned out to be single duvets only. The hotel don't stock double or king, only singles. There was a coffee and tea facilities however the kettle is only useable under the wall mounted TV, so the steam and heat goes in to the TV, the coffee was not nice at all, and again was only made up to be enough for one. Car park was odd, its free to get in with a barrier that goes up automatically when you move towards it, however to get you need a token from reception to leave. The staff did remind us of this, however there was no check on if we were guests or not. If your a light sleeper due to light, take an eye mask as the curtains are as thin as cotton. If your looking for a pamper, or some fluffy stuff, this is not the hotel. This is purely a business hotel, or a bed and go kind of hotel.

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

Es folgt eine rein subjektive Bewertung: - Es handelt sich um ein Hotel, welches zurzeit etwas schwerer zu finden ist. Wir sind zweimal fast am Eingang vorbeigefahren. Sehr schnelles Check Inn mit - in unserem Fall - sehr freundlicher und sehr kundenorientierter Rezeptionistin. Eine spätere Reklamation (*1) wurde sofort bearbeitet und zu unserer Zufriedenheit gelöst. - Gebuchtes Zimmer: Comfort Zimmer mit kostenlosem Tiefgaragenstellplatz. Gut und problemlos funktionierendes kostenloses WLAN mit ausreichender Konnektivität im Zimmer. Ein Zimmer-Safe wäre schön gewesen. Leider haben wir keinen Safe vorgefunden. Sehr großer TV-Flachbildschirm. Kleiner Balkon mit zwei Stühlen zum Innenhof hinaus. Nachts war es trotz geöffneter Balkontür sehr ruhig. Die Balkontür war mit einem elektrischen Sonnenrollo ausgestattet. Es gab einen großen Ganzkörper-Wandspiegel mit ca. 100 cm Durchmesser. Bedauerlicherweise gab es wenig Ablageflächen. Bequemes Doppelbett mit je einem Lese Spot links und rechts. Bad/WC mit einer behinderten- und altersgerechten Dusche mit Duschvorhang. Satirische Anmerkung zum Bad: Der WC-Topf (zu hoch) war für Riesen montiert worden und das Waschbecken (sehr tief) anscheinend für Zwerge. - Frühstück: War unserer Meinung nach bezüglich Qualität und Quantität in Ordnung. (*1) An einem Tag erhielten wir bis 15 Uhr keinen Zimmerservice. Nachdem wir dies reklamiert hatten, erhielten wir als Ausgleich dafür einen 5 Euro Getränke-Gutschein.

Slightly slow check in with only person working. But the room was better than I expected overall. It would be great to have tea/coffee facilities in the room.
