We visited in early April 2022, as Covid-19 restrictions were easing, so masking requirements were mixed (we stayed masked in public areas and removed them at the dinner table; staff generally was masked, particularly when serving a couple of groups that were having conferences there). We found staff at the hotel -- which is family-owned -- friendly and the food excellent (they promote their cuisine); it's in a winemaking area just off the Rhine, and we liked the local product. Something to note is that the online menu may not match what you're offered if you book a package that includes dinner; this is NOT a complaint, as we liked the food, but guests should be aware of the possible difference (this may have to do with post-Covid economics). I see negative reviews here commenting on the lack of air conditioning; while we can't comment on the temperature as we were there in early spring, this is indeed typical of small German hotels in the countryside that are set up in older buildings. Also typical of such hotels is a lack of screens in the windows, which are equipped with roller shutters. The bathroom of our room was completely new and they modernized their old-style radiators with an electronically controlled central thermostat. Our main ”issue” with the room -- again, a function of the building's age -- were the power outlets, which were in somewhat odd places. The hotel is located in a valley of a brook leading into the Rhine; it's a stretch, but looks to be a walkable distance from the rail stop at the neighboring village Niederheimbach. Another reviewer complained about noise from work sites across the street, but that construction is now long completed,. We found the surroundings quiet and enjoyed the bird calls in the morning & evening. The view on the street/brook side of the hotel is now of nice, large houses on the edge of forested hills, while further up the road, the old village of Oberheimbach and some wind-power turbines are visible.
Very Good
