Hotels near Aussichtspunkt Rheinkrone, Koblenz

Great location just off the river, perfect for those cycling the Rhine or Mosel. There is bike storage in the underground garage. The hotel is nestled between the river on one side and the Altstadt on the other. Plus there’s a mall just a half block away. The room is small but clean with a small but good quality flat screen tv with cable channels including a couple English-language news channels. Great water pressure for the shower. Windows can be titled and there are electric Rouladen to keep out the sunlight. Plus an air conditioner or fan which is nice. My only complaint is the mattress is extremely worn and I kept rolling into the crater all night. The pillow is so old and flat it’s almost nonexistent. Otherwise, great hotel, I’d stay here again if they upgraded the bedding.

It was convenient for a one night stop, near the motorway. However, there were no staff around to help with check in, it was all electronic, and rather confusing, leading to queues on a hot day. Ground level parking was extremely scarce (we think there may have been underground parking available, but there was no indication of this, no signage, no information when booking, and no staff to ask!) Room was basic, although the air conditioning was good, and the TV did have Sky Sport for the Bundesliga.

A Gem on the River Rhine We discovered this hotel when looking for somewhere to stay near Koblenz. Service, staff, ambiance, breakfast, 1 meal all top notch. They also offer a free city ticket which entitles you to free travel by train & bus and discounted river cruises. Brilliant. Lovely small town, the hotel is within easy reach of restaurants, shops & transportation. 2 things of note 1) the cushions in the bedroom are too soft. 2) beware coming from Frankfurt as we did, there is a car ferry to take you across the Rhine which stops at 18.00. We had to drive to Koblenz 15km, over the first bridge available and return on the other side. Whilst a pleasant drive we could have done without it in the early evening. We booked via ******* so they are responsible for giving this sort of information. Another thing to beware in Germany, cash is still king. Several establishments refused to take a credit card. Not the hotel I hasten to add. All in all a great 3/4 day break in a lovely part of Germany.

I regretfully have to share my dreadful experience at this hotel. From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew I had made a terrible choice. The lobby was outdated and shabby, setting the tone for the rest of my stay. The room was a disaster. It was as if they hadn't been renovated in decades. The furnishings were worn and tattered, the carpet was stained, and the bathroom had a musty odor that wouldn't go away. It was clear that cleanliness was not a priority here, as I found hair in the sheets and mold in the corners. The staff were far from accommodating. They were indifferent to my complaints and seemed more interested in chatting among themselves than assisting guests. When I asked for help with my luggage, I was met with a half-hearted effort. The noise level in the hotel was intolerable. Thin walls and rowdy guests made it impossible to get a good night's sleep. It felt like I was sharing a room with the entire hotel. The breakfast they provided was an absolute joke. Stale pastries and watery coffee were the only options available. It was a disappointing start to each day of my stay. In summary, my stay at this hotel was a nightmare. It was a grim reminder of how important it is to thoroughly research and read reviews before booking accommodation. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

I spent two nights here on this non-business visit in this 4-star comfort hotel, in early June just after Covid restrictions loosened ( staff still wore masks and guests were encouraged to as well, few did). This was my third visit here, and my first after the major remodeling that was finished last year. I booked a top floor ”mini-suite” (311), ( because that was all that was available for my datesm chosen five weeks before) with two sections: an extremely comfortable large bed for two with a small closet, bible, and TV in one section (no split in the middle of the bed as most German beds have), and another section was a mini-sitting area with two chairs, small table, and a desk, and another wall TV ( with limited stations, even in German). There was also an espresso machine, and a tiny fridge with some drinks. The windowless bathroom had a large tub and a separate shower. Bathroom amenities included not just shampoo but also conditioner, body lotion, kleenex, a hair dryer, wash cloths and soap (all except shampoo are hard to find in hotels in the area, most of which are 3 or less stars, as is a room with fridge). Everything was very clean, and the hotel has an elevator (rare in this area), quite welcome at my age and with my heavy baggage. Internet worked. The hotel is located near the ancient Maria Laach abby and across the local road from the pretty vulcanic Laach lake, which offers easy walks around it. The area is also convenient for excursions to other vulcanic sights of interests, walking paths, and historic structures, and is a half hour from the raceway Nurburgring. There is an upscale restaurant offering a limited menu of international food at dinner, for both indoors and outdoors dining, with very good service and a decent wine list (regional and otherwise) , and a pleasant cafe in a separate building offering snacks, ice cream, and cake is nearby, also with indoor and outdoor options. The complex also includes a sculpture garden, nursery, and a shop. It is not directly on the lake, but across a small road, easy walk. Negatives are: 1. Despite the recent remodel, there was still no air conditioning in my room. I guess it is just not a priority. So, during the day, my top floor 'upscale' room, with the sun beating on it, and also facing the sun, was stuffy and sweltering inside ( measured by me at 78) it was only 72 F outside and humid (it would be much worse if it were any warmer). It did cool off at night with open windows, but with no window screens, flys, mosquitoes, and 1 wasp considered themselves welcome. With windows and blinds shut, an odd sewer smell emerged. 2. My room, with its steaming heat, slanted walls and just 1 small high window in each room, was as noted overall unwelcoming during the day. But I also managed to bump my head on the walls three times in one day: once on the low ceiling when getting out of the tub (BTW the otherwise very nice tub does not have a grab bar, or ribbing, so is slipp
