Rhein-Hotel Bacharach

The house

The Rhein-Hotel is a half-timbered house built on Bacharach's medieval wall, between the village and the river. It is run by the Stüber family, now in its sixth generation, which has fed and lodged people here since 1874. It has superior three-star category and has just renovated its rooms. Downstairs is its restaurant, Stübers, one of the places to dine in the valley, so sleeping here settles the evening.

The rooms

There are fourteen, non-smoking, soundproofed and with air conditioning, private bathroom, smart TV, wifi, minibar and safe. There are four types. The Rhein-Balkon have a balcony and a direct view of the Rhine. The Rhein-Ruhe face the village or Stahleck Castle. The Rhein-Erlebnis are family rooms: three for four people and a junior suite for six. And the Rhein-Romantik is a suite with its own sauna and a view of the river. One of the rooms, the Karl-Zimmer, is a tribute to wine.

The website does not publish the price per night, check-in and check-out times or rules on dogs or parking: online booking or the phone gives them. It does publish packages: four nights with dinners from €359 per person from 1 November to 15 December 2026, and a weekend from €249 until 20 December.

Getting there

Bacharach station, on the Mainz–Koblenz line, is a few minutes' walk away, as is the KD boat landing stage. That makes it a good base without a car: boat downriver to St. Goar, train along the bank and walks on foot. If you come by car, the hotel has installed an electric-car charger; for parking, ask when you book.

What is nearby

Behind the house begins the old town, with the Oberstraße, the Weinstube Zum Weinkrug and the climb to the Werner Chapel and Stahleck Castle. The wall can be walked from the gate.
