An exceptional hotel in an exceptional city
Pros:

We stayed at Hotel Rheinfels for two nights. Everything was exceptional: the location of the hotel, our room, the service, the delicious breakfast and lunch, the hospitable staff, ... The hotel building dates back a few centuries, which gives it a good vibe also.

Geruhsame Auszeit in einem historischen Gebäude an traumhafter Lage
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist super, so direkt am Rhein und an der wunderschönen Altstadt. Wir waren überrascht, dass der tagsüber doch anhaltende Strassenlärm von Autos und Motorradfahrer in der Nacht abgeflaut ist, so dass wir auch bei geöffnetem Fenster ruhig schlafen konnten.
Das Frühstücksbüffet war ausgezeichnet und das Personal erkundigte sich mehrmals, ob wir noch etwas zusätzliches wünschen würden.

Cons:

Da es an den Fenster im Zimmer mit Sicht auf den Rhein keinen Insektenschutz hat, sammelten sich abends viele kleine Mücken. zu unserer grossen Überraschung waren es jedoch keine Stechmücken und so wurden wir durch diese kleinen Tierchen nachts nicht um den Schlaf gebracht... wir waren sehr froh darüber, denn es gibt nichts Unangenehmeres als das Surren und das Stechen solcher Plagegeister die einem den Schlaf rauben können.

Lovely stay
Pros:

I had a lovely experience at this hotel. The atmosphere and location are unbeatable for Stein am Rhein — it was so lovely to have my breakfast on the terrace every morning. The service from the staff was wonderful; I felt genuine warmth and connection when they remembered my coffee order, etc. each time, and they were very helpful and communicative with my late check-in. It was very easy for my to enter after reception had closed.
Areas for improvement:
- The wi-fi in my room on the 2nd floor was very poor and unstable. This posed some major difficulties as I had to take some business meetings and ended up having to find other facilities in town.
- It would be great if all of the windows facing the Rhein had screen doors - in the evenings opening the windows for more than a few seconds would let in innumerable mosquitos.
- A little more could be done to accommodate guests with different dietary restrictions. I am vegan and was very excited to see the vegetarian Zürcher Geschnetzeltes on the dinner menu (with Planted vegan protein) but they were unable to make the sauce vegan (though they have oat milk available - it could have been possible!). They did offer vegan yoghurt and oat milk upon request for breakfasts, which was wonderful. A few extra steps like the possibility of vegan butter / margarine for bread and to be able to make the Zürcher Geschnetzeltes would have been fantastic! For my one dinner at the hotel I had the red curry, which was vegan and delicious. I appreciated that there were options!
Overall a wonderful stay, and I would heartily recommend it. These small complaints reflect only that the hotel is a little old-fashioned, which is of course what you would expect in the location and it is absolutely part of the hotel's charm and atmosphere.
