This was a truly beautiful, quaint hotel and the couple that ran it was absolutely the sweetest. If you are unfamiliar with Cochem, make sure you research before you come. It's a vineyard type town and a good deal of the lodging (including this hotel) are steeply uphill and not directly accessible during the most crowded hours of the day. However, you can travel around the back side to park. Parking requires payment per day, however you have a guaranteed, assigned spot available to you. Parking is above the hotel meaning if you have luggage that you are toting, you might be better off toting down a small bag with any valuables you might have as you will be lugging suitcases up and down steep stairs otherwise. With all of that said, the rooms were absolutely wonderful. Ours had a little balcony where you could sit and sip a warm drink, etc. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the hotel is well kept. The neighboring hotel did have some noisy guests but they quieted down at a reasonable time and the hotel itself was quite lovely and quiet. The service was outstanding. Breakfast was wonderful and they even offer an option to have eggs custom made for you. The view of the castle from the steps of the hotel is outstanding (we could also see it from our room). Very impressed and would definitely stay here again.
