Rhein-Hotel St. Martin

Rhein-Hotel St. Martin

10/10 Excellent
"the room was really nice, It had a small refrigerator and coffee maker, plus a smart television, a view of the Rhein, with a nice porch. For a small room, it was really nice. The shower had two heads, the bathroom was big with plenty of things for the traveler. The Hotel is right near the old town, so no need to take a taxi. You can walk to restaurants, shopping and museums! Bring really soft and rubbery shoes, the cobblestone walking is not easy!"
