Hotel Altes Haus

Good location in the centre of small and pretty town near Rein, comparatively quiet, it takes only a few minutes to walk on the surrounding hills and see the marvellous scenaries of Rein valley and the castles. It takes approx 40 minutes walk to get to Niederwalddenkmal (a monument located in the Niederwald Landscape parkwas constructed to commemorate the foundation of the German Empire after the end of Franco-Prussian War).

there should probably be more various choice of dishes for breakfast

I liked the fact I was left to do my own thing, but the staff was always there if I needed them. The rooms were basic, but comfortable.

I would have liked to been able to make coffee and tea in my room..

Located in a the lovely village of Assmannshausen. Traditional German hostelry and full of character.

The annex is some way away from the hotel itself and is directly alongside a very busy railway line. Noise can be a problem. Very limited car parking.

my room overlooked a vineyard, castle and Rhein River.

Yes, Booking.com quoted me 25 Euros/night and when I got to the hotel, they charged me 30 Euros/night. It was only 5 Euros more, but what bothered me was the misunderstanding between the hotel and Booking.com.

Absolutely nothing.

The lack of a clean and proper bathroom was my major disappointment.
