Waldhotel Rheinbach

Great hotel! Check-in was very quick, which was good as we didn't have much time. :) If we come back, we'll definitely spend more time at the hotel. I was also pleasantly surprised that the Wi-Fi worked very well.

Hey everyone from the Waldhotel. I was able to be your guest in two different rooms over the past few weeks and would like to share my honest opinion with you. The Waldhotel is truly THE wedding location in Rheinbach. I've heard so many good things about it! The path through the apple orchard is stunningly beautiful. And the surroundings are a riot of color, especially in autumn. A big thank you goes to the fantastic young ladies at reception. Special requests were handled well! Unfortunately, I'm not at all thrilled with the rest. The doors don't have an automatic locking mechanism. The room on the third floor smelled musty. The furniture is dated and somewhat uncomfortable. The carpet in the rooms has seen better days. The shower drain on the first floor was clogged, and on the third floor, it was impossible to shower properly in that strange bathtub. The shampoo and soap could have come from a hospital. If the service had been as bad, I would have thought I was in a nursing home. There are a few patches of rust and mold in the bathroom, the mirrors are almost dim, and the lighting is definitely from the 80s, with low-power bulbs and switches scattered throughout the room. The owners write that they wanted to create a home for themselves and their guests. If they were thinking of dilapidated old apartments in Cologne's Zülpi district, they accomplished their mission. The food, however, was a disgrace for me. Don't order a large water! The prices in the restaurant are apparently the same as for weddings. I ordered vegetarian, gratinated cheese as a starter, and pumpkin-filled dumplings for the main course. Including the water, it came to €50. The taste was okay. But it certainly can't compete with Michelin-starred cuisine, for which I would sometimes pay the same. The cheese, for example, was far too sweet with the dressing, and the pumpkin was overcooked. Breakfast was disastrous. Eggs have to be made fresh? The cereal selection is mediocre. There's no fully automatic machine. Yogurt was out one day. Why not add nuts or sliced fruit to your yogurt or muesli? If you're offering scrambled eggs, then offer bacon, or at least beans for Intercontinental. I didn't understand the donut halves at all. There's no fitness center or spa. And the TV doesn't have streaming. The highlight for me: the toilet paper dispenser. If you've ever wondered what ice cream napkins feel like on your bottom, here's where you can try it out. Included in the price, of course. Bottom line: beautiful area, especially for walking past. With a renovation, I might come back again.

We booked a one-night stay and were very disappointed. The hotel's location is excellent, and the outdoor area is definitely a highlight! Our room with a bathroom was nice and large, but retro and had a 70s charm. This wouldn't have been a problem if it had been clean and tidy. It was completely dusty, the curtains on the balcony door were torn, mold was already starting to appear on the walls, and the beds were uncomfortable and small. The breakfast was very limited. Overall, the price for one night was completely unacceptable for the service provided, which we also mentioned on-site! We won't be staying at the Waldhotel Rheinbach again!
