Absolutely perfect!
Pros:

Breakfast was wonderful in the dining room. We also enjoyed our balcony in our room, which faced onto the main street. The beds were very comfortable, and the room size was also comfortable, especially for a European hotel.

Cons:

I do wish they provided hair conditioner.

Brilliant property and location. Restaurant staff needs a lot of improvement though
Pros:

We stayed in one of the hotel's apartment and it is brilliant. Pretty much all you need on a holiday. The only thing that will make it better is probably an aircon - when hot we had to open the windows and with trains going and windows facing the beergarden and some local car repair shop it was not quiet. But the rest was top notch - location in the middle of the town is brilliant, space is definitely better than any hotel and highly recommended for a few days stay.

Cons:

Breakfast is not worth it so if staying in apartment, I would recommend to pay a cheaper fare without it and get all the stuff you need in a little corner shop in building next door. Stuff on breakfast was not attentive except one day where lady did actually look and replenish things. We also went to the hotel's restaurant one evening - probably worst service we had in a few years, it took 45 mins between started and main course and restaurant had about 4 tables with customers and when we finally reminded about our food and it was brought up it was cold. Absolutely not worth it - there are better restaurants in town in all service, quality of food and pricing categories.

Lovely place to stay and thoroughly recommend both the town of Bacharach and this hotel
Pros:

Wonderful location and property, terrific breakfasts, the apartments were excellent and good parking facilities

Cons:

Limited reception hours meant doors were locked to the main hotel sometimes and as we stayed in the apartments, our key didn’t access the hotel reception area

Wundervolle Herbsttage am Rhein in einem zauberhaften Hotel.
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal. Besonders toll fand ich die Handtuchregale in den Fluren. Dort konnte man sich ein frisches Handtuch nehmen und auch alles was sonst im Zimmer ausgegangen war. z. B. Toilettenpapier etc.
Die Putzfrau kam nur auf Bestellung, das fand ich super.

Cons:

Das Bad war sehr klein und Ablagen bzw. Handtuchhalter waren leider nicht vorhanden. Man musste die Tasche am Boden abstellen und die Handtücher über die Heizung hängen.
Zumindest Handtuchhalter wären schön.
