Hotel Gelber Hof

What a GREAT little hotel!!! Bacharach is a sweet small Rhine town to begin with... and this little 26 room place, which dates back to 1726, as I recall, typifies the "small town" atmosphere... for a VERY attractive price. For starters, the new owners, Michael and Christina are wonderful warm people. The rooms are very well cared for, breakfast is just 6 euros, the bar/restaurant has simple food and a warm inviting atmosphere. It's a 2 minute walk to the center of town (1 minute more and you're at the Rhine) and just a 2 minute walk out the town gate, where parking is free. The short walk to the castle starts, literally, across the street. From our room, i could hit the main church, an interesting 10th century ruin and the town gate with a rock, it's so cute and small. If you're looking for a great little hotel in a great little town, away from most tourists, this is the place!! Ed and Terri from Reno

Though it didn't bother us - we simply opened windows, like so many old, charming places, it is not air conditioned
