"I stayed at the Hotel Keßler-Meyer for two nights in September 2023 with a friend. We had a very good time overall. We had room 4 in the main building, close to the reception, which was clean, spacious, stylishly decorated, and well-equipped with A/C, TV, safe, fridge, coffee maker, free Wi-Fi, hair dryer, bath robes, slippers, a sauna bag containing towels and a blanket, and even a hiking backpack with a refillable water bottle. The bathroom was clean and spacious as well. A nice selection of brand toiletries were provided. We had booked a package which included half board, a massage, a bottle of wine and one of water, a cocktail, plus free use of the spa area until 6 p.m. on the day of departure. The pool is quite small but was never very crowded. I often had it to myself. The spa area is nice, though rather small as well. It contains two saunas and a steam bath. Tea, water, and apples are provided free of charge. Breakfast was buffet style and was very good. There was a vast selection of items and most of them were of good quality, though we didn’t care for the falafel and humus. Didn’t try the fried eggs as they looked quite dry. Dinner on both days consisted of soup (two kinds to choose from), salad from a salad bar, main course (meat, fish, or vegetarian), and dessert (two options to choose from). We enjoyed the food, overall. My only criticism is firstly the fact that the same kind of soup was offered on the two consecutive days, so although it was good it was probably not freshly prepared on the second day, and secondly the horrible dessert on the second day, which consisted mainly of a marinated pear that was terribly dry. My friend couldn’t eat it at all, in fact. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We did have our doubts about the massage as it was included in our package, but it turned out to be very good. When we checked out we were given a snack pack for the trip home consisting of two bottles of water, apples, and home-made cookies, which was a very nice touch. It takes about twenty minutes to walk to Cochem old town from the hotel, but it is a pleasant walk along the river. The walk to the castle looks steep, but it turned out to be easier than I had expected and took me less than half an hour. So I would say the hotel’s location isn’t bad. We had a view of the castle from our room. To sum it up, I warmly recommend this hotel and might return."

"The location is right in the city center and close to everything. The room is equipped with a fan. During our stay the weather is so hot and the fan didn't helped much."

"Advantages: The boss is enthusiastic and communicates well Disadvantages: Parking is 100 meters away, there is no elevator, the bathroom shower is high, it is very dangerous when it comes out, and children may have to think about it."

"The hotel is located above Cochem. It's within walking distance if you're reasonably fit. (There is a bus, but it doesn't run very frequently.) The rooms are large and practically furnished. Our bathroom was also spacious and had a walk-in shower (with a small threshold). Criticisms: - According to the hotel's information sheet, the reception is staffed from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We had the impression that these hours weren't always adhered to. For example, we received a call around noon on our arrival day asking when we would be arriving. We were told that we would receive a check-in code after 4:00 PM. - According to the information sheet, breakfast is served from 8:00 AM. On two of our four days, the receptionist arrived at the hotel around 8:15 AM carrying bread and rolls. On one of these days, we stood in front of the locked breakfast room door for quite some time. On the second day, we were at least allowed to sit down with other guests and get something to drink. -According to the hotel's description, there's a "sparkling wine breakfast buffet." Sparkling wine glasses and coolers were available at the buffet, but there was no bottle of sparkling wine. We probably should have asked for it, but we weren't that desperate. (After the Vintage, we stayed at another hotel on the Moselle River that offered a sparkling wine breakfast, without this hotel having advertised it much beforehand...) -Cornflakes weren't replenished. On our third day, one type ran out, and the next day the container with the crumbs was still there. -The breakfast room, which isn't very large to begin with, can get cramped and noisy. In conclusion: The Hotel Vintage is quite nice, but it does have its weaknesses."

"Hotel Stumbergers had everything we needed for our two night stay. Off street parking, a comfortable bed, a good shower, and a great location. The hotel is a 15 minute walk along the river to Cochem in a quiet neighborhood. The walk was a nice way to wind down and leave the activity of the city behind. The hotel did have both an interior restaurant and a patio cafe, we did not have the opportunity to enjoy a meal or drink there although they were both very inviting. Our room was on the third floor with views to the river (no balcony). I enjoyed looking out to watch the cruise ships and a pair of swans. I could also see the castle in Cochem, although I needed to look hard to the left to do so."

"Our hosts recommended this restaurant to us. It was close by, had a good rating, and the photos of the interiors looked charming. We couldn’t have foreseen the terrible service. Now that I think about it, I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews. We entered the restaurant, waited for a waiter to approach, and asked for a table for two. The polite and friendly waiter showed us to our table, handed us the menus, explained the special of the day, and then left so we could decide what to order. Soon, the lady we had seen at the reception came to ask what we’d like to drink. I asked if they had Glühwein. “We drink Glühwein in winter,” she replied disapprovingly. “Okay,” I said, and admitted that despite the large selection of wines on the menu, I wasn’t sure which one to choose, as I know very little about wine. Instead of asking what we planned to order and recommending something to go with it, she remained silent. “I guess we won’t drink, then,” I said, feeling quite awkward. “This is a restaurant. People come here to drink,” she replied - extremely sharply and rudely. I realize now that we should have simply gotten up and left, but at that moment we were so disconcerted and confused that I just ordered a hot chocolate - the first thing I remembered from the drinks menu. I asked whether it would be possible to have it after the meal, to which she again replied disapprovingly, “No, drinks before the meal,” and left. I was at a loss for words in response to such rudeness. Only one other table was occupied, and I kept wondering if they had heard how harshly this lady had spoken to us. It was humiliating. Soon, the waiter came to take our order - potato soup and goulash soup (these dishes had been praised in the reviews). The hot chocolate was fine, but I could barely taste it as my mood was completely ruined. All the good spirits we had entered the restaurant with evaporated, and the entire time we waited for our food, we felt the sting of what had happened. We’d entered with smiles, greeted everyone, and been perfectly polite - yet this lady treated us like a doormat simply because we didn’t want to drink. Now we had only one thing on our minds: to eat quickly, pay, and leave this place where we clearly weren’t welcome. The potato soup was a bit different from the ones I’d tried elsewhere in Germany - I didn’t taste much cream in it. It was still delicious, the spices were well-balanced, and I enjoyed it (as much as one can after such humiliation). The goulash soup was also a success, with generous pieces of meat; my father was pleased with his dish. We asked for the bill, paid, and left - never to return. I should emphasize that the waiter was absolutely professional; I even felt sorry about the small tip we left, but it was the only way to express our dissatisfaction with the lady taking the drink orders. I can confidently say that she was the rudest person my father and I met during our 17-day trip to Germany, and that people with "

"We cannot fault this beautiful hotel. First impression was being amazed by the stylish and chique layout and reception in an old but rennovated building. The squeekly floor boards gave it a lot of charm. All done in good taste. Rooms spotlessly clean and breakfast was great! There is however a ventilator, so no air co. They have a honesty bar with great wines. I highly recommend the white Jacoby! (From Moessel). There is parking for 5 euros per day. Room prices at the high end but it was very very much worth the experience! We wanted to extend the stay but they were fully booked. The host Sebastian very kindly recommended their sister hotel and went out of his way to help us with the booking which we really appreciated."

"MOTORCYCLES be aware. It’s tricky to drive to the garage. The safest way is by following the detailed instructions that they send you in advance by email. DO NOT follow your satnav. Accommodation and breakfast were very good. The hosts very friendly and helpful."

"Nice hotel in very good location. All you need was available, breakfast was also rich and good. I'd like to re-"
