Hotel Bad Emser Hof

the food was very good, choice of wines was perfect, and the cook/owner was very attentive.

the staircase to the rooms upstairs is a bit difficult for older people who carry luggage. maybe the hotel can assist older people carry their luggage upstairs. one small problem with the breakfast buffet where guests can make fresh orange juice themselves with a squeezing machine: the idea is nice, but in practice it does not work very well to squeeze the oranges. It takes a long time and it is easy to hurt your hands.

It is in a clean and quiet town located only 18 minutes by train from Koblenz Station. Because it is a little further out from major tourist attractions, I found my hotel room to be very spacious, well-equipped for the price with free Wi-Fi and the quietest of all the hotel rooms that I stayed in during my trip. The restaurant at the hotel also served pretty decent food for dinner and the waitresses can speak a bit of English. If you want to visit Cochem, Koblenz (or Bonn / Cologne if you have a Eurorail pass), then this is a good hotel to stay in as a base for your day trips: quiet, well-equipped, clean, and well-priced.

Nothing bad about the hotel, but make sure you check your train schedule as to when you catch your trains. Sometimes, there can be as few as just one train every hour or so.
