    Great place to stay, great area to explore!

    The TV in the bigger bedroom was not working for some reason (even after checking the batteries in the remote control). The drinks station in the hall was out of apfelschorle. The door between the two bedrooms has a glass window in it so when the light is turned on in the either bedroom it shines light in the other. The stairs in the hall creaked loudly when people came to the drinks station or went up to the next floor.

    Apartment #3 was, clean, large, and more than adequate for 2 people, with 2 bedrooms, a small kitchen with everything needed to make your own meals, a comfortable living area with a smart TV with Netflix and Prime TV, a comfy couch, and a table for 4. The windows in the living room and larger bedroom overlook the river. Reichsburg Castle is directly across the river on the hilltop! The river views are amazing both day and night! The Balcony/patio off the living area also had a table for 4 and was perfect for warm nights to sip wine and gaze at the river and Reichsburg Castle which is enchantingly illuminated at night! There was even an electric BBQ grill on the patio, and an awning for sunny days. The bathroom was clean, newly tiled, and the shower was large. Clean linen and towels were provided. The location is relatively quiet compared with areas closer to and right in Cochem. It was only a 15 minute walk to/from Cochem and 20 from the train station. There was a 'honor system' drinks station right outside the door to our room which had cold water, beer and wine. The prices were also reasonable.

    The living room is a bit small but that doesnt matter for couple of days stay.

    The location was good. I liked the evening view from outside the apartment. The apartment was good enough for 4 people and the best part was that it had 2 washrooms.

    The placement of the toilet was a bit awkward, as the sink was partially in the way. And although this is a minor detail, the directions to the room weren’t entirely clear — a small map or visual guide could be helpful.

    The location was great, the room was clean, and the owner communicated proactively to make sure everything was in order. Check-out was smooth and hassle-free.

    No complaints other than the location is a bit far away from the main parts of town. It’s no longer than a 10 minute walk so not a issue for most people

    Well hard to tell. Just one thing was a really struggle for me. When I came back from a day in Trier or around the Moselle/Rhine area, it was already dark😅 And the lights in stairwell were not working🤔 Thank god the flashlight of my phone! But still, if you got stuff on your neck or in your hands, it was a struggle.

    That I could contact the host about anything. On Whatsapp or via the Booking app. He friendly replied back and that felt great for me. I'm definitely wanna come back to Cochem and have a stay again coming summer! You got a permanent guest😁

    There was a coffee machine but not coffee cups to drink coffee. Pillows were not comfortable. There was a table in front of the room and we could not open the window because people were always smoking and all the smoke was in the room. That was dark in the night when you pass by the garden, no light. Just to sleep is Ok. With your own pillow.

    It was clean and tidy.

    When I arrived the key was not in the locker, so I couldn't enter the room. I tried calling the host, but they did not pick up.The host is mostly not on site and tells guests he can best be reached through whatsapp/e-mail/messages. The bed and especially the pillows were not comfortable. The room was not soundproof at all, I could hear anything happening on the hallway. No toiletries provided.

    Nice and central location The windows could be fully blinded The guesthouse provides guests with information about food/activities in Cochem.
