Right on the Rhine, in a small German town with few but reasonable restaurants and a REWE. Very picturesque area and the hotel has good services for a restaurant, bar, etc. The problem is that the staff couldn't keep the wireless working, and if internet access for today's modern business or personal needs is a must for you, then this is not the place to stay. They claim to be undergoing a major IT revamp in Jan 2015, but that didn't help us much while we wasted a lot of time trying to get online at the hotel and then travelling to find viable hotspots. Nearest public wireless we found is 8 Km one way and 15 Km the other; both at McDonalds. Recommendation: Look for a place in Xanten first. Great restaurants, several full service hotels for both Business and Tourism , and a lot of tourism benefits.
