Hotel Altkölnischer Hof

From sleeping to eating, Hotel Altkölnischer Hof succeeds on all levels.
According to Trip Advisor, Hotel Altkölnischer Hof is the number one ranked place to stay in Bacharach. I think it’s a fair assessment after recently spending three nights in the hotel. Well, not really at the hotel — I actually got a full apartment for three nights, with a California King, full kitchen, dining area, and living room. The room was massive, especially the bathroom which was more American size than European size. All this was reasonably priced for less than $ 100 a night, located in the heart of Bacharach. Parking is taken care of, with the hotel owning several lots around town. The service was excellent — they speak English very well, was very accommodating, and even translated the Rüdesheim Weinfest website for us. You cannot ask for a better hotel experience than at this place.
Sure the rooms are nice, but is the restaurant worth going to? This was another outstanding experience. My girlfriend were able to eat here only one night, but would’ve loved to eat here again if we had the time. The exterior of the restaurant is beautiful and so German. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel (which included fries and a side salad) and my girlfriend ordered one of their massive salads. Both dishes were delectable — I mean just look at the beautiful pictures. The juicy Jagerschnitsel was complemented with the thick and flavorful gravy sauce, which was perfect for dipping fries in after and complemented nicely with a light side salad. My girlfriend’s salad was just a menagerie of flavors — croutons, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, grapes and nuts in a maybe-it’s-vinaigrette-maybe-it’s-heaven dressing. We also ordered a bottle of Weingut Dr. Randolf Kauer 2014 Riesling which is harvest and made locally. Here I was thinking all Rieslings were sweet and we ended up getting a very balanced and immensely drinkable wine. Our entire meal, including the bottle of wine, was about 50 euros.
Overall, from hotels to restaurant, Hotel Altkölnischer Hof has their act together. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

We had a lovely dinner here in the outdoor seating. My daughter had the Wiener schnitzel with fries, which I liked a lot. My husband had a venison dish with potato croquettes, also tasty. The potato soup was outstanding. I had sauerbraten with dumplings, which was not as nice. I found the dumplings a bit gummy, and the sauce was very sour. The apfelstrudel wasn’t very sweet, but it was served with ice cream, so it was still a success. Overall a very good meal.

Excellent Getman cuisine. Everything the four of us had was good. The Roulade, the Sauerbraten, Spargelsuppe, sauere Kirchen, it was all excellent. Waitress was friendly to both our german and english speakers.

Haben glaube ich nur etwas getrunken.

Kann Buskutscher8 nur zustimmen, das Essen ist gut bürgerlich Top, die Weine sind spitze und wenn man bei schönem Wetter draussen sitzt, kann man die ganzen Tagestouristen beobachten und vorbei ziehen sehen. Von mir auch 5 zufriedene Sterne.
