Hotel Rüdesheimer Hof - Superior

I booked an expensive room with separate beds because I was traveling with a relative of the opposite gender. When we arrived at the hotel they gave us a smaller room with one bed, and could not even provide a sleeping cot for the night. The next day they said they saw we were only two people on the registration so they changed the room type without asking, and said we should have emailed them in advance to to tell them we actually needed the room we had ordered because we weren't a couple. They then provided us an even smaller and cheaper room that at least had two beds, but refused to provide any sort of refund despite the rooms being significantly worse than what I paid for. It was the worst hotel service that I've ever experienced, and I would consider it to be fraud.

If you can imagine living in a cuckoo clock house this is the hotel to stay in. It is a traditional German hotel full of beautiful features. We went with a coach trip to the Christmas market in Rudesheim and stayed for four nights. The hotel is usually a bed and breakfast hotel in the winter - the Italian restaurant is closed. They gave suggestions where you can go to eat but on our trip they cooked us an evening meal. We didn’t have a lot of choice but what was given to us was well cooked and home made. Breakfast was amazing for me. I love meats and cheeses, breads and jam. I could make a Caprese salad as they had slices of mozzarella and tomato and a stunning pesto sauce. There was an onion chutney to die for and other accompaniments to go with the meats and cheeses. Hot food was bacon, scrambled and boiled eggs. Cereals, yoghurts, fruit was available. There was a small bar where we could get drinks throughout the evening. The hotel itself was spotless and very warm. The rooms are nothing fancy and modern but cosy and very adequate for your stay. The bed was comfy and the shower powerful with lots of hot water. No noise from other rooms. The wi fi is stable and we had no problems with it. The hotel was so beautifully decorated for Christmas. Everywhere you looked there were stunning wooden/natural decorations. I was in heaven. We had a room overlooking the road and had no issues with the cars passing. Our windows were shut as it was cold, this could change if they are open during the summer. The hotel is situated a two minute walk outside the market, nice and quiet. The Christmas market in Rudesheim is stunning. Cobbled streets and alleys, medieval houses everywhere. Like being in a fairytale. Excellent market, over 100 stalls. We loved the hotel and Rüdesheim so much we have booked to return 2025. Can’t wait.

We were visiting Rudesheim & wanted to try the radiations.coffee flamed with the local brandy. Along the front promenade of the Rhine we found cafe Bitburger. The waiter was amazing ,he put sugar & brandy in a cup & flamed it to caramelised then added hot coffee followed by a large flower of fresh cream with chocolate sprinkles on top if the drink. Delicious, you must try.
