We were driving South along the Rhein and needed a room to overnight in. We got a large family room with ensuite bathroom overlookiing the river and were impressed with the informal approach from the friendly staff at check-in. …

Everything could have been perfectly fine (room, food, staff) - but a bunch of loud drunks in the night ruined our sleep - and we had to switch to another hotel.The noice didn't come from inside the hotel, so it's not directly the Hotel's fault, however the attitude ("I heard nothing", "No, you cant just leave") made sure we wont return here.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The walls were paper thin so you could hear every movement in the neighbouring rooms. The view from the hotel window was of the air conditioning units and back yard.  …

Stay here as I know people who live in area. It's not luxury by any means, but comfortable and is priced accordingly. Easy driving distance of Cologne airport but Frankfurt airport is a bit of a drive away. Pleasantly situated on the river banks so you can watch the freight sail past.

This hotel was all we expected of it in as much as it was quiet, had a Rheine view, clean and friendly. May have had more atmosphere if there were more guests but the stay was good with an adequate breakfast

All three of us ordered lasagna. Literally the worst lasagna ive ever seen and eaten. The lasagna was swimming in some kind of sauce if you can even call it a sauce, it was more of a bad tomato soup with pieces of cream in it. We all tasted the lasagna but everyone at the table disliked it and hasnt eaten their dish. The waiter didnt come to ask if the food is good, he only came to take the dishes back when he thought we were finished eating. He saw the untouched plates and started saying that this is a real italian lasagna and its not possible that we dont like the taste.. i have lived in Italy and I can really tell this is not a good lasagna, not even close. The waiter didnt even propose a different dish. He looked mad after taking the plates and didnt come to the table again. We payed the full price and left hungry. Thankfully we found a nice restaurant next to this place and had a good meal.
