Great place with a lot of character.
Reception staff were so friendly and helpful.
We had a beautiful view of the Rhine and the sunsets. Went for an evening swim right outside the hotel. The complimentary buffet breakfast was amazing!

Beautiful property! Old world charm and wonderfully, clean, updated and scerene. We loved our stay! Very friendly staff, we were traveling with our 17 year old daughter, the room was set up with a a bed for her when we checked in. Breakfast is included in the price and it was fantastic! So many wonderful options and we ate our meals outside with the view of the lake. Took the boat right from the dock to visit other towns - so easy to get around. Parking was right out front - which was also a bonus. Simple, quiet town to walk around and view the lovely homes with wonderful gardens. I highly recommend this property
