"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."

"Nestled on the southern edge of Cochem, right along the picturesque Mosel River, Hotel Stumberger offers a tranquil retreat that balances modest comfort with stunning views. During our recent two-night stay, this charming property proved to be a convenient and peaceful haven, particularly for those arriving by car—parking was a breeze. We arrived on a rainy Saturday afternoon in May, greeted by a sleepy atmosphere. The check-in process, managed by a polite and straightforward gentleman who seemed to be the proprietor, was somewhat sluggish. It took a while to finalize the payment, but at approximately USD 150 per night, including a traditional German breakfast, the rate was reasonable. Our accommodation, Room 3 on the first floor, featured an attached balcony that served as the perfect vantage point for admiring the fast-flowing Mosel River and the majestic hilltop castle. The view alone was worth the visit, painting a captivating picture of the town’s scenic allure. The room itself was small but spotless, echoing a sense of simplicity and cleanliness. However, the bathroom was extremely cramped, and the mattress could benefit from being a bit firmer to enhance comfort. The hotel’s restaurant operates mainly for breakfast, which, though limited, offered a satisfactory start to the day with its selection of standard German fare. The dining experience was nothing to write home about, but it sufficed for our morning needs. Hotel Stumberger may not boast luxury, but it more than compensates with its breathtaking views and quiet charm. For an average of USD 150 per night, I was expecting some niceties typical of a family-run inn, but this is a very no-nonsense, functional experience. I would classify this property more as an inn than a hotel. It’s an adequate spot for travelers seeking a peaceful stay with easy access to the scenic beauty and historic wonders of Cochem."

"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 "

"It's really great there"

"I have been to Germany from the states many times and every time I make my way to Cochem and stay no where else but Villa Tummelchin. First time I stayed was 20 years ago and had a great experience. Herr Luy, Monika and team have always gone the extra mile, nothing has changed in all the times I have visited and again, just a few weeks ago I can confidently state the same. I highly suggest you stay at this great location and do yourself a favor and explore the uphill garden area. Views are spectacular."

"My son and I stayed at Hotel Traumblick for 3 nights in April. We had a "classic Mosel view" room, which is the smallest size on the top floor with slanted ceiling. Although the room is small, every inch is well-utilized. Bathroom is compact but not unusual for European hotels. We had no issue with water pressure on the top floor. The room has a mini fridge and water kettle. We have a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs, which we enjoyed sitting out on. I definitely recommend paying extra for the Mosel view, and recommend the larger-sized room (comfortable room) if you want more space. Location-wise, the hotel is located on the quieter side of Cochem just across the bridge. Many hotels are on the busy side right on the main street, and I can imagine they get noisy. Hotel Traumblick is fairly quiet, but you can get to the heart of the town within a 5-min walk across the bridge. From the train station, it is a good 15-min walk, so maybe not the best choice for travelers with heavy luggage. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel but the bus (no.703) runs only 1x/hour. The plus side of being on the other side of the bridge is you get a great view of the town and the castle from the balcony! The staff is great and the breakfast is top-notched. Lots of choices and the breakfast room also looks out to the river. Breakfast starts at 8am however, so if you want an early start it might not work for you. Another huge plus is the hotel offering bikes & e-bikes rental! We haven't seen any bike rental places in the town itself so this is super convenient. They have different sizes of regular bikes along with helmets. If I have to quibble about Hotel Traumblick, I would say the bed sheets are a bit rough and towels a bit thin. But for a 3* hotel for such a good price, good location, and everything else, I can certainly overlook those."
