Hotel Garni Gunther

My son and I stayed at Hotel Gunther Garni for 2 nights in April. We booked a standard double room with balcony facing the Rhine. Our room is on the (european) first floor with a compact bathroom. Weather was chilly when we were there but we still enjoyed the lovely view of the river. The room has an electric kettle and an in-room safe. An added nice touch is a sliding door in our room that separates the entry hallway/bathroom from the sleeping area. This helps to keep the hallway / neighbors door slamming noise down. I wish every hotel has this feature. The staff was fantastic and had our free guest transport tickets available for our stay. Breakfast starts at 7:30am (11 euros pp) is nice the room is bright and spacious. The location cannot be beat; it is right next door to the fancy Bellevue hotel, and a mere 7-min walk from the train station. K-D and other ferry company piers are directly outside the door. You can also walk to the Boppard Sesselbahn (chairlift) in 15 minutes, which I highly recommend. We stayed midweek during low season, so the town is fairly quiet and we didn't hear much street noise with balcony door closed. However, this might not be the case during summer time with outdoor dining tables next door at the Bellevue plus trains noise from the opposite side of the river If I have to quibble, I'd say the room decor is a bit dated. But for a 3* hotel with such a great rate, a great location with a great staff, I don't mind it at all.

Overall, a great experience. The staff were all wonderful, and helped/suffered an English-heavy traveller like me. Boppard is a nice small town with welcoming people and some great restaurants. The breakfast at garni Günther was a decent buffet spread. Same thing every morning, but the amount of options available was commendable. The only issue I encountered was no hot water in the shower for a couple days, but they fixed ASAP as soon as they knew about it. A short commute by regional rail or bus to Koblenz, which is wild during Karneval, but has great shopping and restaurants for tourists. The view at garni Günther from the second floor balcony down the Rhein was spectacular. Room was spacious, (by Europe standards) bathroom was not (but that is Europe hotels in general). Cleaned and straightened every day. Tons of shelf/cupboard space. Really appreciated the kind service with the hotel staff. Would recommend for tourists, solo travelers and couples/families for getaways or low-key holiday.

This was our second time at this hotel. The previous visit was in autumn a couple of years ago. The location is the best and view over the Rhine river is amazing. Try for a room with a balcony towards the front. But the view has a price. The ships and trains are noticable during the night, but that is acceptable for THAT view. What was disturbing this visit compared to the previous one is the commotion from the street directly in front of the hotel. The city sent the trucks to collect trash out very early. And also other delivery trucks brought things early. It is not the fault of the hotel. But still it was hard to sleep any longer and we did not feel so relaxed. The beds were comfortable and we slept well on them. Wi-fi sometimes worked, sometimes not. The hotel has an elevator. The room could use an extra darkening blind for the windows. The curtains are light and look nice. But the sun shines early during the summer and it is also difficult to sleep once it gets light... and then the street noise did not make it better to sleep. When we were here in autumn, this was not a problem. There is parking available on the street in front of the hotel. From 6 p.m.- 8 a.m. they do not cost anything. We usually parked in the evening, payed 1.00 - 1.50 Euros and got a ticket that carried the parking time past 8 a.m. so we could enjoy breakfast without having to worry about the park time. Breakfast was delicious and the service very friendly.

This was an awesome hotel to stay at. It is right on the river across from where the KD river boats dock. The rooms have a great balcony overlooking the river. The breakfast is excellent and the staff is very friendly. Several of them speak excellent English. This is a very typical German style hotel. The rooms were nice. If you want to stay in a convenient town on the Rhine River than this hotel in Boppard is a great choice. I would definitely stay here again. The town and the hotel are excellent.

Great location with rooms available overlooking the Rhine. Easy walking distance, less than 20 metres, to KD ferries booking office and slightly further to cross river car ferry (50 metres). Everything within walking distance, friendly staff. Public car parking within 20 metres @ 6 Euro for 24 hours. No fridge or air conditioning in rooms.
