Best view on the river.
We were a group of 6 traveling to celebrate my wife's and my 35th wedding anniversary. We booked three rooms, one with a balcony, and we couldn't have been happier with our location. When you first walk into the room you get a full view of the river. With the balcony, we found our selves watching the on goings of the city, including the many boats going up and down, and across the river. Our host the manager (owner ?) was extremely helpful from the time we arrived to the day we departed, even saving us time by finding a faster. more convenient train schedule to get us to Frankfurt. A very nice breakfast, spacious rooms and clean throughout, my only wish was for an elevator...which I am told they are getting next year. Next time I'm on the Rhein, I will stay at the Rheinfels Hotel.

Great location, reasonable price.
Hotel was very enjoyable, for a very reasonable rate. Could not beat the location. Right across the street from the K-D river cruise dock, and very close to the train station. Just know that the hotel has no elevator, so if you have problems with stairs or moving luggage up/down multiple flights of stairs, you had better request at lower floor. We were also able to add a nice breakfast for a reasonable amount. Take advantage of that if you can! It's a great breakfast!

Beautiful location.
We stayed one night only at the Rheinfels Hotel but wish we had a second night. We had a balcony room and waking up to go out in the morning to overlook the lovely Rhein is priceless. The hotel itself is slightly dated but bed was comfy and room clean. Great power in the shower! Breakfast was fine. The owner, Alexander from India is very nice and friendly. It has an atmosphere of a bed and breakfast.

There is no lift in the hotel and our room was on the third floor. When asked if we could get a room on lower floor was told that would cost additional. Not sure how anyone with a problem climbing stairs would have been able to stay at this hotel. Nothing was mentioned about this when we booked the room. The manager was nice enough to help carry our luggage to the third floor but we had to carry them down. Clean hotel but not worth the cost.

Great stay in a charming German village.
The owner personally greeted us and went way out of his way to make us feel welcome, answer any of our questions and provide suggestions to enhance our stay in this charming little village. The building is older - as is all of this village in Germany (350+ yrs old), but was well maintained and updated. The room was large and very comfortable. The buffet breakfast was very good, much more than a "basics motel" breakfast.

Hotel matched website and Travelocity descriptions. River view from window worth the little extra. Room very spacious and clean. Location is quiet and convenient. Breakfast on par with all others we had for 21 days in Germany. Staff was cordial. Would recommend.

Good location Great place to stay the night.
The spacious room was pleasantly unexpected and the staff was very nice. The property is old so you'll see uneven floors and dated fixtures. The location is conveniently near the KP boat dock and a short (but steep) walk from Rheinfels Castle. Free street parking until 9am.

Great way to visit the Rhein
The hotel itself was very comfortable, and easy access to the whole area for day trips. The hotel was very quiet and external noise was non-existant. However, fine as the hotel was, it was the personalized service above and beyond any possible call of duty that really made our stay one of the best of our trip. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to all travelers.

Rhein River Vacation
We had a great stay the Hotel. The owner was very accommodating and very friendly. The Hotel is downtown Sankt Goar and close to all attractions. We did love it there. Great place to stay in Sankt Goar. We did some nice sight seeings using the boat which is leaving right from across the Hotel. Very convenient. Overall we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this Hotel to anyone traveling on the Rhine River.

A suprisingly good, comfortably renovated old hotel
In St Goar overlooking the Rhine. This large old hotel has been recently renovated to a high standard by its new owners. The rooms are very comfortable, the breakfast excellent. We were surprised by how good it was.

Lodging across from the Rhine
Centrally located,across from the Rhine. Made it easy to walk across the street and catch the boat for a leisurely trip on the Rhine Limited free parking up the hill by the train station. Breakfast was plentiful, try the veggie scramble eggs with a great blend of Indian spices! The black tea was just okay. The room was adequate! We did not stay in the room long for there were many adventures in St. Gore areas or in one of the nearby villages.

Fabulous views
Worth paying for Rhein view room. Continental breakfast is included. The best reliable and quick wifi we have ever had in a hotel and free too. the location is excellent right on the Rhein across road from the KD boats for a day trip or minutes fron the station giving you great access to the whole of the Middle Rhein area.

We enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and fresh with a balcony overlooking the Rhine.I was with my 2 teenage sons and had a separate attached ensuite giving me a bit of privacy. Bathroom was so clean and modern.Breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast I ever had. Friendly staff. Highly recommend this hotel!

Well maintained family-run hotel
I stayed here for one night in the room for 3 people. It is a fairly typical hotel for the region - small, family run, in an old building but kept up meticulously. The owners are fluent English speakers and thus very helpful to out of town guests. The 3 person room is well designed for 3 people - one main room with your standard hotel layout, and then a small side room with a twin bed and desk. The whole hotel is extremely well maintained with brand new bathrooms, but slightly dated (but again clean & well maintained) furniture. The town itself is cute for a couple of nights, convenient to castles and boat trips, but not as upscale as towns 5-10km up the river. More than a night or two and you would be a bit bored by St. Goar.

Exceptionally Clean, Incredibly Friendly
Exceptional staff, incredible breakfast, meticulously clean. Just across the street from the car and passenger ferry and the Rhine River Cruise Boat. This was the perfect place to begin and end our middle Rhine area tour. Lots of castle and other sites near by. I'd absolutely recommend this hotel to friends, family and others.

Gorgeous View Of the Rhine!
Great hotel on the Rhine! We were upgraded to a suite and balcony overlooking the river, none of which we paid for. We were not supposed to get breakfast, but the front desk insisted that we could have breakfast. It was one of the most elegant of breakfasts...a maitre'd was there to direct people to tables and answer questions. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the view of the river outstanding. We got all of this for far less than our other rooms, and yet so far, it was the highlight of our trip.

The room and hotel are very clean. The reception desk helped us with parking. Breakfast was included and was a bit better than just OK. The free wi-fi is nice but doesn't reach every corner of the hotel. We had to sit at the end of the hall near the stairway to connect to it. The location is great but Sankt Goar is so small nearly every hotel is central. The view of the Rhine is very nice. For the price I would definitely stay there again.

Nice family-run hotel
This is a waterfront hotel in St Goar. The location is ideal, right across the street from the KD boat dock. The hotel is an older structure, and some of the furnishings are outdated, but our room was quiet, spacious and comfortable. The proprietor made us feel very welcome and was very helpful when we had questions about the area. St. Goar is a sweet little village. We plan to return again, when we do, we will also return to Hotel Rheinfels.

Really enjoyed the stay
This is the perfect place to stay if you are planning to visit areas around the Rhine. The ferry picks you up right in front of the hotel. We were originally given a small room with no view in the rear of the hotel and asked to move to the front. They were very accommodating about moving us and we were able to enjoy the river views and the castle across the river. The rooms were clean and comfortable and they will be doing some renovations over the winter to enlarge the bathrooms. There are several good restaurants and kneipen (local bars) nearby. The train station is about a block and a half away. Breakfast is various meats and cheese, breads, cereals, eggs fruit and yogurts and is a good start for the day. I would stay here again.

Location was the best part of this hotel, with boats, trains, and roads easily accessible. Room was comfortable, but not charming or uniquely German in any way. Wifi worked well. Breakfast was filling, but not necessarily memorable. Hosts were nice enough.

Great place to stay
The room and condition of the hotel was much better than we expected. The owner is quite proud of the hotel and it shows. Our room had nice furniture and the buffet breakfast was more than adequate. Our room had a window that looked out over the Rhine. The major downside is lack of an elevator, especially if you have a room on the top floor. If that isn't an issue we highly recommend a stay here.

Perfect Stay
This was a last minute booking Which prove to be a fantastic choice. From the minute of arrival to departure (two days) Alexander the owner cod not have been more helpful. His hotel is in a perfect location right opposite the ferry terminals. It was spotlessly clean with the rooms much better than we had expected. Breakfast Buffett was perfect and extremely varied. This is a perfect hotel nothing was too much bother and always with a smile. We have already recommended to friends and will return next year for a longer stay. Thanks Alexander From Scotland

Good location as an HQ for day trips
Great service and good location. The only knock is that when you must leave the windows open for ventilation during the summer nights (no air conditioning, which is not uncommon) you hear every car that passes underneath the window...and there are lots of them starting very early in the morning. Management was very proactive and always went the extra mile. I would stay here again.
