今年も快適な滞在をありがとうございました
Pros:

昨年の同じ時期に続いて２回目の宿泊です。昨年の客室からのライン川の眺めがとても良かったのでまた来ました。
今年はライン川の水量が少なかったものの、ライン川の優雅な水の流れを部屋の窓から見ていると、とても心が癒されます。
レストランで食べた川魚のフライ盛り合わせと淡水ガニのスープは今年も絶品でした。
室内の照明に不具合が発生したと申し出たら、すぐに代わりを用意してくれました。

Cons:

ありません

stilvolles Hotel in Bestlage, tolles Essen, freundliches Personal, gerne wieder
Pros:

Überaus stilvolles Hotel in Bestlage (direkt am Rhein) in einer wunderschönen Stadt, die gerade für Gäste, die Übernacht bleiben abends einen ganz eigenen Charme entfaltet, der sich reinen Tagesgästen nicht bietet; das Gebäude selbst ist über 400 Jahre alt, wurde aber sehr stilvoll renoviert und strahlt eine tolle Kombination aus alt und neu aus, was sich auch an den Zimmern zeigt; sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal; Frühstück erfüllt alle Wünsche, das Restaurant selbst wartet mit einer gehobenen, auf Fisch spezialisierten Küche auf; wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Cons:

für österreichische Verhältnisse sind die Preise - wie für die Schweiz üblich - sehr gehoben, das gilt es immer zu bedenken (aber natürlich kein Spezifikum dieses Hotels)

Quirky old hotel with some interesting memorabilia on the first floor
Pros:

Well located at the entrance to the old town with direct views of the river

Cons:

The building is very old and although the bathroom had been recently updated the hotel room itself needed renovation. The aircon did not work very well and room fridge was broken.

Probably wouldn't return to this hotel
Pros:

Very quirky property and a good location. Rooms were a good size and very nice large modern bathroom

Cons:

Although location was great, it was noisy with the windows open with the traffic and pedestrians. The hotel is expensive, but does not deliver for what we paid. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room, tiny reception area, creaking floors, restaurant was closed. It it had been 75% of the price, I would have rated it much higher.

Heerlijk Hotel direct gelegen aan de Rijn.
Pros:

De Locatie aan de Rijn, de mooie kamer met uitzicht op de Rijn en de authentieke stijl van het Hotel. De kamers zien er mooi en ruim uit in de originele staat van vroeger.

Cons:

Het parkeren is een eind verderop en kan alleen in munten of met de easypark app betaald worden. Hier kan het hotel natuurlijk niets aan doen, maar dat is het beleid van Stein am Rhein. Dit was wel een hindernis.
