We made a stop at this castle in St. Goar while we were doing a cruise on the Rhine River. It was…read morespectacular and well kept up. Beautiful photo spot and a lot of history. They have an adorable little gift shop on site too. I was happy to find it, since I collect magnets everywhere I go.

This is the best 11th C castle that I have been to in Germany. There is no awfully narrated audio…read moretour and no bored guides leading you through the passages. Its self guided so you go at your own pace. It is large and has a lot of areas including secret or dark passages that you can explore on your own. Bring a flashlight. Seriously. Though my iphone with flashlight app worked just fine. It has some new areas such as the museum but mostly this is a very well preserved ruin. Expect to spent 2-3 hours here. There is a tram from town that will take you up but its no more than a 15 min walk. We did it pulling our luggage and leaving it at the ticket booth while we explored. The kids will love this place. Oh and there is a restaurant there too in case anyone in your group would rather drink. Have fun.

Decent breakfast with fruits, yogurt, quark , meats, fresh breads. (-) About a mile out of the busier part of town. Decor needs updating. Sofa bed very uncomfortable. Booked via Expedia. I thought I had a superb rate for 3 based upon searching, was charged extra for the uncomfortable sofa bed (very hard with a poor pillow) at 18E

As a tourist, I'm not difficult to please. I only require the basic necessities: a clean room, a…read moremediocre restaurant, and a good concierge. I got 2/3. The restaurant was.... mediocre at best? The food was expensive and unfortunately not fit to my taste. The room was as I expected; small, but clean. The hotel was walking distance from most of the happenings in Bacharach. The front desk lady was kind.

We had another wonderful stay at Rheinhotel in room 2, our favorite. We arrived early (around…read more1100) to bike the Rhein tal-to-tal and planned to drop our bags then bike. Lucky for us our room was already available so we brought our stuff up, changed, and hit our bikes for the ride to Bacharach. Room 2 has a large terrace with wonderful views over the Rhein, Sankt Goarhausen and Burg Katz. We enjoyed the one night. As always, breakfast was great and Gill was his usual: the best host! He gave us some hiking suggestions (we always hike in/above St Goar) for a future trip. Without a doubt this is the place to stay in St Goar.

From start to finish this was a highlight of my entire trip to Germany!…read more Gil will give you tips via email even before you get there to help in planning your stay. He is the best! We had no problem finding his hotel- more like a bed/breakfast! You can pull up in front and he will help you unload your luggage. Parking if you drove is just a short walk away along the Rhein. You are right in front of where the boats go up and down the river to sightsee - get on- get off and explore! I highly recommend the hotel. The room is very clean, the breakfast is incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed the view from the balcony each night! Breakfast is fresh coffee, cheeses, meats, a hot dish like scrambled eggs, sweet breads, jams, fresh fruits! I can't wait to return to visit- and I would book early- this a small boutique experience! Gil and Germany are a gem-!
