We had a wonderful stay at the Rheine Hotel Arte in Kripp, Remagen. Wonderful view over the Rhine from their enclosed conservatory where we ate breakfast every morning. Our room was very spacious with an ensuite bathroom. Staff were very friendly, breakfast was buffet style. It was superb with an extensive choice of meats, cheeses, breads, pastries, fruit and a very simple cooked breakfast as well. A gentleman at reception was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to give lots of advice on places to visit and things to do in the locality. About a half hour walk into Ramegan and the ferry( foot and car) across to the east bank, Linz, was right by the hotel. It was also convenient that you could have dinner at the hotel if you wished to do so: not particularly cheap, but very nice.
