Hotel Garni Gunther

My son and I stayed at Hotel Gunther Garni for 2 nights in April. We booked a standard double room with balcony facing the Rhine. Our room is on the (european) first floor with a compact bathroom. Weather was chilly when we were there but we still enjoyed the lovely view of the river. The room has an electric kettle and an in-room safe. An added nice touch is a sliding door in our room that separates the entry hallway/bathroom from the sleeping area. This helps to keep the hallway / neighbors door slamming noise down. I wish every hotel has this feature. The staff was fantastic and had our free guest transport tickets available for our stay. Breakfast starts at 7:30am (11 euros pp) is nice the room is bright and spacious. The location cannot be beat; it is right next door to the fancy Bellevue hotel, and a mere 7-min walk from the train station. K-D and other ferry company piers are directly outside the door. You can also walk to the Boppard Sesselbahn (chairlift) in 15 minutes, which I highly recommend. We stayed midweek during low season, so the town is fairly quiet and we didn't hear much street noise with balcony door closed. However, this might not be the case during summer time with outdoor dining tables next door at the Bellevue plus trains noise from the opposite side of the river If I have to quibble, I'd say the room decor is a bit dated. But for a 3* hotel with such a great rate, a great location with a great staff, I don't mind it at all.

Overall, a great experience. The staff were all wonderful, and helped/suffered an English-heavy traveller like me. Boppard is a nice small town with welcoming people and some great restaurants. The breakfast at garni Günther was a decent buffet spread. Same thing every morning, but the amount of options available was commendable. The only issue I encountered was no hot water in the shower for a couple days, but they fixed ASAP as soon as they knew about it. A short commute by regional rail or bus to Koblenz, which is wild during Karneval, but has great shopping and restaurants for tourists. The view at garni Günther from the second floor balcony down the Rhein was spectacular. Room was spacious, (by Europe standards) bathroom was not (but that is Europe hotels in general). Cleaned and straightened every day. Tons of shelf/cupboard space. Really appreciated the kind service with the hotel staff. Would recommend for tourists, solo travelers and couples/families for getaways or low-key holiday.

This was our second time at this hotel. The previous visit was in autumn a couple of years ago. The location is the best and view over the Rhine river is amazing. Try for a room with a balcony towards the front. But the view has a price. The ships and trains are noticable during the night, but that is acceptable for THAT view. What was disturbing this visit compared to the previous one is the commotion from the street directly in front of the hotel. The city sent the trucks to collect trash out very early. And also other delivery trucks brought things early. It is not the fault of the hotel. But still it was hard to sleep any longer and we did not feel so relaxed. The beds were comfortable and we slept well on them. Wi-fi sometimes worked, sometimes not. The hotel has an elevator. The room could use an extra darkening blind for the windows. The curtains are light and look nice. But the sun shines early during the summer and it is also difficult to sleep once it gets light... and then the street noise did not make it better to sleep. When we were here in autumn, this was not a problem. There is parking available on the street in front of the hotel. From 6 p.m.- 8 a.m. they do not cost anything. We usually parked in the evening, payed 1.00 - 1.50 Euros and got a ticket that carried the parking time past 8 a.m. so we could enjoy breakfast without having to worry about the park time. Breakfast was delicious and the service very friendly.

This was an awesome hotel to stay at. It is right on the river across from where the KD river boats dock. The rooms have a great balcony overlooking the river. The breakfast is excellent and the staff is very friendly. Several of them speak excellent English. This is a very typical German style hotel. The rooms were nice. If you want to stay in a convenient town on the Rhine River than this hotel in Boppard is a great choice. I would definitely stay here again. The town and the hotel are excellent.

Great location with rooms available overlooking the Rhine. Easy walking distance, less than 20 metres, to KD ferries booking office and slightly further to cross river car ferry (50 metres). Everything within walking distance, friendly staff. Public car parking within 20 metres @ 6 Euro for 24 hours. No fridge or air conditioning in rooms.

Hotel is in a good position with rooms that overlook the beautiful Rhine river. Our room was nice and quiet but was very small with a toilet separate to the bathroom which was not ideal for hand washing. The carpet was stained and the chairs in the room had no spring left in the seats and looked grubby. Breakfast was good but small things like extra serviettes and a bottle of help yourself chilled water and help yourself juice, we’re lacking. We were satisfied overall, given the price, but would suggest giving the carpet a wash and changing the chairs.

This hotel is right on the waterfront and the balcony overlooks the Rhine. It is a perfect location. The hotel is family owned and operated and the family member behind the front counter was very helpful and professional. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. We recommend this hotel.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Hotel Gunther. This small family run hotel was our first stop on a 16 day trip to Germany. We arrived by train from the Frankfurt airport after an overnight flight and were exhausted. We had planned to taxi to the hotel but it was literally a 5 minute walk (downhill) from the train station so walk we did. We were greeted by Scott who welcomed us and gave us some very good information to get us started on our vacation. Our room was on the front of the hotel, facing the Rhine with a balcony. The room itself was spacious and had a sofa. We loved the balcony and sitting out there in the mornings and evenings watching the boat traffic go by. The hotel does not have AC but there was a fan in our room. It was coolish when we were there so this was not an issue at all. The location is top notch. We took the train to Rudesheim to catch a KD cruise back to Boppard which was a highlight of our vacation. The train use is free within the region with a Boppard guest card that the hotel gives you upon check in . As per Scott, by crossing the river to Filson (on a ferry) and catching the train there we could ride free all the way to Rudesheim, which is also a lovely town. Boppard is a nice town, the main square and restaurants all within a short walking distance, however, be warned, everything shuts down early and the town gets very quiet. Some nights we had trouble finding a restaurant open if it was a bit later. The visitor Information Centre in the Main Square was also very helpful and close. Our anniversary was our first morning there and we were surprised with a small bottle of Champagne - a nice touch. Breakfast is not included but costs 11 Euro a day. You just have to tell them the night before. We did this two of our 4 mornings, opting to try a cafe downtown the other mornings (which was also nice - but more expensive). If we had any nit picky things to say would be the bathroom is so small and hard to maneuvre. The showerhead is at an awkward angle to even get under to shower. There is literally no place to hang a robe, put your makeup etc. Very tight. No fridge, would be nice to have a small fridge. There is a kettle in the room but only tea, no coffee. We would have loved to have had a coffee on our balcony in the mornings. (we did ask and the first time were told no, the 2nd time were given a very small amount of decaf instant coffee, also asked if we could come down and purchase a pot of coffee to bring back up and also told no) I would definately recommend this hotel and wouldn't hesitate to return if we ever find our travels back in that area. Its a great base location for your time in the Rhine Region.

It was autumn and an excellent time of the year for seeing the Rhine and Mosel area without the crowds. After deciding to look for a hotel in Boppard, we chose the Hotel Gunther Garni after reading the reviews from previous visitors. Our room was located on the 3rd floor and had a small balcony that overlooked the Rhine river and the beautiful scenery beyond it. Boats travel all day and what feels like all night. They make somewhat of a noise, but it did not bother us as it added to the charm of having a room facing the river. The room itself was larger than we expected it to be, was clean and the beds were very comfortable. When we booked the room we requested a bathtub and that wish was also fulfilled! Every morning we went to the hotel's breakfast room to start the day off. We were greeted by a cheery hostess and found a most pleasing breakfast buffet with so many choices of food to eat. It was very tasty! In front of the hotel, there is a possibility to park at designated parking spaces along the street. During the day these spaces cost money but between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. the same spaces were free to park at. The location of the hotel could not be any better. To the front is the Rhine River. The town center, where there are shops and restaurants, is within walking distance. The town has historical areas, including Roman structures. You can take boat trips to many destinations. The docks are within walking distance of the hotel. A trip to the Loreley is charming and whilst traveling down the Rhine to that location, many castle ruins can be observed on the way to it. I would stay at this hotel again if I travel to Boppard again!
