We booked the NH Bingen via the internet as had been our practice whilst on a 6 week tour of Europe. We hadn't picked a bad hotel all trip, however after booking this hotel we read the recent guest reviews and had immediate concerns. So much so that we looked to book different accomodation. However, in the end we retained our booking with NH Bingen and headed there with some trepidation. Unfounded as it turns out!! Some people must be hard to please. As with all things in life, you get what you pay for. This hotel is clean and very conveniently located. You couldn't ask for a better location on the Rhine. Room 408 had plenty of room for us and all our gear. We had a view over the river across to the far side of the Rhine (the castles, monuments and winery). It was hot whilst we were in Bingen and this hotel like all others becomes less comfortable after several days of heat, but hey, Europe is mostly cold isn't it ! An open window and a fresh breeze kept the room cool enough, although at night we did push it too, as the constant activity on the river and on the two main rail lines can cause you to have a less than perfect nights sleep, if you are more acustomed to 'dead quiet' at night. But hey, we enjoyed seeing all the activity.....thats what holidays are for. Breakfast was good,,,,in the traditional German way......lots of breads and meats.......if you left hungry it was because you hadn't adopted the German ways of breakfast. The room was clean and odour free (a non smoking room requested and provided). The staff were Germanically helpful, but we didnt really have much need to bother them whilst we were here, so cant comment further. Everything is within close walking distance...shops, old city, rail stations, ferry and other likley attractions or needs. All in all, I'd happily reccomend this hotel and suggest you ignore the earlier negaitive guest reviews.
