Koblenz: Rhine Valley Castles and Palaces Boat Tour
"The staff were excellent, breakfast was varied and plentiful (large buffet), the hotel was comfortable and quiet, foregoing room cleaning earned a 5 euro voucher at the bar, and they have secure storage for bicycles.
Overall, an excellent stay"
"Good location, 15 minutes walk from the old town. Quite spacious room with air con. Very good buffet breakfast in a very pleasant dining room. Helpful and friendly staff. All round good experience."
"The hotel is good value. Great price and overall pretty nice. My only issue was the room I booked they gave away to someone else and received no reimbursement for being given a lesser value room."
"The room was very clean and I enjoyed my stay very much. I would say a flaw is that the outlets are no where near the bed so you need a long cord. An advantage is that there is air conditioning which is huge in Europe, if you know you know.
The bed was quite comfortable too. It’s an easy walk to the train station and not far to sights too."
"Quiet, comfortable room - our kids loved their bunk beds. Tasty breakfast with good variety. No bar on site, but a vending machine has some beverages and the Innenstadt cafes, restaurants, and bars are just a 10-minute walk away. Would happily stay here again."
"Nice hotel. Although we were hoping to stay in a more historic building in the center of the city, the Mercure turned out to be the best option due to high temps (over 100F) and AIR CONDITIONING! Staff was nice, and it was very clean with a nice view."
