From sleeping to eating, Hotel Altkölnischer Hof succeeds on all levels…read more According to Trip Advisor, Hotel Altkölnischer Hof is the number one ranked place to stay in Bacharach. I think it's a fair assessment after recently spending three nights in the hotel. Well, not really at the hotel - I actually got a full apartment for three nights, with a California King, full kitchen, dining area, and living room. The room was massive, especially the bathroom which was more American size than European size. All this was reasonably priced for less than $100 a night, located in the heart of Bacharach. Parking is taken care of, with the hotel owning several lots around town. The service was excellent - they speak English very well, was very accommodating, and even translated the Rüdesheim Weinfest website for us. You cannot ask for a better hotel experience than at this place. Sure the rooms are nice, but is the restaurant worth going to? This was another outstanding experience. My girlfriend were able to eat here only one night, but would've loved to eat here again if we had the time. The exterior of the restaurant is beautiful and so German. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel (which included fries and a side salad) and my girlfriend ordered one of their massive salads. Both dishes were delectable - I mean just look at the beautiful pictures. The juicy Jagerschnitsel was complemented with the thick and flavorful gravy sauce, which was perfect for dipping fries in after and complemented nicely with a light side salad. My girlfriend's salad was just a menagerie of flavors - croutons, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, grapes and nuts in a maybe-it's-vinaigrette-maybe-it's-heaven dressing. We also ordered a bottle of Weingut Dr. Randolf Kauer 2014 Riesling which is harvest and made locally. Here I was thinking all Rieslings were sweet and we ended up getting a very balanced and immensely drinkable wine. Our entire meal, including the bottle of wine, was about 50 euros. Overall, from hotels to restaurant, Hotel Altkölnischer Hof has their act together. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Came here for three nights over the summer.

The hotel was an affordable and convenient way to explore a beautiful and historic river town, and the region in general (parking is available if you have a car). At the end of each day of sightseeing, we bought some Riesling and snacks and enjoyed them in the beautiful garden. Our room was adjacent to a babbling brook, which was a lovely sound to lull you to sleep at night. Breakfast was great and was included in the room. Highly recommend!

Great location and service. Bacharach was kind of quiet at the end of August. Perfect!read more

The hotel was comfortable and very reasonably priced. Our room faced the gothic ruins that overlook the town and the view was stunning. The buffet breakfast in the morning was very good with a diverse selection of meats, vegetables, cheese, eggs and more. Excellent pots of coffee were provided for every table. The hostess was very nice and suggested several additions to our excursions that ended up to be marvelous small towns where we would not have stopped without her suggestion. The hotel is a 2 minute walk to the dock for the Rhine boat tour and 1 minute walk to public parking, the hotel also has several parking spaces available. I would stay in this hotel again.

I loved my stay here. When my fiance and I were planning a vacation in the Rhine Valley of Germany…read morewe were confronted with many places to stay in Bacharach. The reviews and the write up in Rick Steve's guide book made us choose this place and I was so happy that we did. While the taste in design may not be my choice, the fact that the owner worked so hard to make sure each detail was decorated and clean made me feel very comfortable. Fatima is so warm and kind. She made sure that she could make us as happy as possible, which included running to the market to make sure we had fresh apples! The free breakfast was much more than just the normal thing you get in hotels, seriously, try her fresh bread and scrambled eggs! Yum! Also, the restaurant was delicious in the evening! Plus, you're sleeping in history! I highly recommend this hotel!

Plus adult sized chess game by the pond was fun (especially after those complimentary drinks in our room). The room was fantastic the view and setting of it felt like we were back in time - just a lord and lady staying in their summer castle and enjoying the scenery. I loved loved LOVED it. Breakfast included was a very nice add on and I'd highly recommend to sit on the patio for the best views. Staff has great English for my English speaking friends out there, so don't let a language barrier stop you from visiting - because there isn't one. Food at the bistro was delicious and I enjoyed it more than the one from the restaurant one. Mainly because we had to wait almost an hour between courses to finish our dinner - that was over 3 hours of just sitting. I understand that good food takes time but... still didn't let that run our stay there. Overall very good experience and I would love to come back.

Fresh fruit and a crystal decanter of sherry waiting on the table in the sitting room. 2 glasses and chocolates.

Normally hotel restaurants are overpriced for what you get, but not here. Felt like we stayed in someone's home. Wish we could have stayed another 2 nights!
