The fantastic owners & location on the riverfront make Hotel Günther a place I would return to again and again. Our spacious balcony room had beautiful vistas of the Rhein and offered plenty of space for my mom, husband and I to be comfortable and spread out a bit. The dècor was a bit 1980s, but it was very clean and well kept. There is an elevator, so no need to worry about being stationed on the 4th level of a 200-year-old building if you aren't able to use stairs. We seemed to have enough electrical outlets to get our cameras/phones charged up without taking shifts, so that was a nice bonus.
The owners are an American man, his German wife, and their adult children who all help run it (I feel so bad I don't remember their names now!). They were so friendly (and fluent in both English and German) and full of advice and ideas for experience all of the lovely sights that Boppard and the rest of the Rhein have to offer. They are who sent us to the Sesselbahn and gave us detailed information about taking the KD cruise to our next destination instead of the train. The American loves to chat about the US too, so if you want to swap stories about home, he's certain to oblige!
In the mornings, they have a fabulous German-style continental breakfast with coldcuts, cheeses, brötchen, sliced breads, soft boiled eggs, yogurt, müseli, butter, jams, honey, Nutella, and -- because there is an American in the house -- peanut butter (that made Gary a happy man!). They have your table pre-set with your dishes and such when you get to the dining room and they bring you your choice of tea, coffee or orange juice. The food is self serve, so you can get exactly what you want.
Everyone was so friendly and welcoming here, and I just can't reiterate enough what a pleasure it was to stay here!
