Rhein River Guesthouse - Direkt am Rhein

We were visiting family in Monheim nearby and were able to drive to them in 15 minutes on a fairly peaceful road near the river. Hitdorf- Leverkusen is a pleasant peaceful area. As an old house, we were expecting that noise would carry along the wooden floors, etc. We asked for a cool and quiet room and were allocated a large 2nd floor en suite bedroom overlooking the enclosed courtyard at the back. Disappointing perhaps not to see the Rhine but we were on the non sunny side….and there was construction work at the yacht marina opposite the guesthouse, so not much loss. We did have some noise from the 3rd floor where (we think) some of the staff were living. In the early morning we also heard some noise from the courtyard “exotic birds” ie budgerigars! The room itself was large and individually furnished. The bathroom was modern and fine, though a slightly wider shower would have given more head space under the sloping roof. A welcome pack included a helpful map of facilities, including restaurants, in the immediate vicinity. This seems to be run as a community by a group of people and includes an art gallery, and daily yoga. Parking is free on the street outside. Breakfast was a fairly standard continental one, with the offer of eggs cooked to order. It would have been pleasant to have been offered real coffee rather than by auto machine.

Amazing place. Beautiful courtyard with lots of birds. Very quiet and cosy room.

Nice location, but need to be updated. Very old and picturesque house/hotel. Common areas was decorated as an art exhibition. We were surprised to get a little 'goody-bag' including ear plugs and knitted night-shield (glasses) - At first we thought was to give an upscale feeling (like when you travel first class on an airline). However, this was due to the squeaky original wood floors in the entire building and the sounds from above floors when people moved around or moved furniture around (?), and to dim the light from the translucent curtains to the two streetlights just outside the rooms 2 windows - this was quit upsetting. Breakfast was good, and kind staff. Fun little town at the brink of the Rhine River.

This place is so charming and everyone is so friendly! You’ll love it!

Beautiful small hotel on the river bank. It is a 358 years old building, you just imagine all the people and events that were here in the past… If you like a small, boutique and quite place then you are at the good place. Have in mind that is an old house and made from wood so you can hear a lot of noise from people walking through the steps, but this was not bathering us. A great self service breakfast is served in the morning.
