I arrived for a dinner on a Monday evening. The restaurant was fairly full, so two of us were seated at a very large table. The waitress was fairly friendly and spoke some English. She made a very nice recommendation for wine. The food was great! This is an incredible place to have dinner since the building is so old. It is very nicely decorated.

I ate here in summer 2018, and I honestly have never forgotten this place. I had a tasty lasagna, and like everywhere else in Bacharach, the view of the old streets from the outside seating area is gorgeous. The lady who ran the place was very kind and friendly. We had an amazing conversation about paintings and horses. Some people from my travel group forgot to pay and she very kindly sent them a reminder. I hope she still works there, because it has been 7 years and I still think about this place. I hope to return again someday.

Altes Haus takes you back in time from the moment you step inside! We sat in what could be described as a front reception room with a piano, and just two tables. Very intimate and gave it a nice atmosphere. We ordered a local wine and were delighted with its sweet fruity character, and it was very refreshing. The service was also very good, and friendly. For our meal we had the Pork Schnitzel, and the Meatballs in cream sauce with boiled potatoes. With this we had a medium dry local wine. Another great hit. The food was very tasty and well presented, and we greatly enjoyed it. The meatballs was particularly good. For our dessert we tried the apfel strudel with ice cream, and the chocolate cake, both served warm. The strudel had a wonderful flaky pastry, and went down really well with the vanilla ice cream. All in all it was a lovely experience in the middle of this very nice town on the banks of the Rhine, with the traditional castle on overwatch on the cliffs above (easily reached by the stairs starting by the church). A definite recommendation from us. Also as a lovely surprise the couple on the table next to us was a well travelled one from Berlin, and we had a very nice conversation with them throughout.

We has been in Europe for almost a month and we ate here twice one of the best meals we ate! The flavor of the food was so good! We had dinner and dessert both nights. Amazing! The experience was also enchanting because the waitress shared a book with us with history of the city including pictures of the owner as a girl!

Got the “Sausage Salad”, really did not see the sausage in the salad, looked like strips of ham instead. Though the translation might be wrong. Wasn’t a big fan of the salad dressing either. But the atmosphere is amazing, the garden was serene and there was a live pianist! Maybe do not order the sausage salad there!

Limited food menu maybe 8 items. Plenty of spirits. Classic German Hause with many old historical items and photos. Basic dishes. We had schnitzel... we received schnitzel, French fries after salad.

Very nice place to have a light meal - they offer limited hot cooked meals which was fine as the menu offers good balanced variety of options. The food was delicious, good selection and recommendation of wine and excellent service!

Hi all at Hostel Burg Stahleck I was there last week at the Karate Pratix seminar. I loved it there, and to be honest who wouldn't, I spent four days in a castle sleeping in a tower like a princess, with amazing views. And I met some lovely people. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, we had our own bathroom and shower. There was two of us sharing a four person room. The food was delicious, and the chef had no issues with me asking for a gluten free option. He was so kind and always had a delicious meal set aside for me. When making your reservation mention to the staff if you have dietary requirements, so the chef can prepare beforehand. The other two people who were lovely were the man behind the counter in the dining hall, and the lady on reception anything I asked for they would get for me. Be prepared for a 15 minute up hill walk to the castle, which is mainly wooden steps and path. It is quite steep and make sure you have water with you, as you will need it. The only thing I could criticize on was the early check out, as we were having breakfast between 8 and 9, and our karate class started at 9. So this did not give us much time to get up, dressed, fed, strip beds and tidy a bit, and put the last few bits in our bags. But other than that the view was amazing and the atmosphere was so relaxing, the castle was beautiful and the staff were amazing. See you all next year Thanks for everything Deirdre

We haven't stayed here but visit Castle site. Very nice and beautiful place. You can visit inside as well as outside. Also view from it spectacular. Would advise to visit.

The location and the view! We booked the IV+ room category to have a private bathroom and fullboard. The room is very small but clean, just enough for an overnight stay. The parking is located on the street and you'll have to walk going to the castle. The dinner was simple and delicious, same with breakfast (no scrambled egg or sausage). The check-in/check-out was quick and staff were great.

I did not stay at this hostel, but only visited it as a tourist attraction. There are few routes to reach Stahleck castle. Moderate climb. Nice view of Rhine river from here. Stahleck Castle has been destroyed and rebuilt a few times throughout its history. It was massively damaged in 1644 during the Thirty Years’ War. However, because of the Count Palatine’s strong emotional attachment to it, the castle was rebuilt in 1666. During the Nine Years' War, the castle was finally blown up by French troops in 1689 and remained in ruins. It was only in 1925 that Stahleck Castle was rebuilt according to a historical model. Now the castle is not open for visitors but serves as a youth hostel. *information from the Internet

OMG!! This place is fantastic, our room for our family of five was beyond our expectations. We will definitely stay here again. We will come back through. And breakfast!!

It's a literal castle on the mountain and you can sleep in it, hiiiiighly reccomend. Also the staff is super nice and helpful, just such warm people.

Lovely location staff very helpful and food and facilities are very good. Rooms are a bit basic but clean and tidy and bed was comfy enough the pillows were not very substantial so if you need a firm pillow bring your own. The views from the rooms and the rest of the castle are superb and all in all a lovely place to stay. One word of warning the steps up from the town are a bit steep so those with mobility issues would struggle but taxis are available to take you up via the road.

Postenturm (Post Tower) is a former defensive tower and now an observation tower. You can see the whole town of Bacharach and Rhine River from top of the tower. P.S. DO NOT FOLLOW the long walking route that Google Map provides to come here. There are direct paths from the old town. You'll find the signs somewhere.

Free of charge! Breathtaking view of the Bacharach in the Rhine Valley. The tower stands about 65 steps above the ground, offering a fantastic point that’s perfect for photos. Is make of wood Interestingly, the tower has a quirky English name: the "Cat Tower." However, the German name doesn't seem to reference this at all, which adds an amusing twist to its identity. This unique feature, along with the picturesque surroundings, makes it an ideal spot for a memorable visit.

A wonderful observation tower. It's not possible to climb on the top floor but even though it has a beautyful view to the city. There is a bench on the lower floor, where it's possible to take a break because climb to the tower isn't the easiest. There is also a huge wineyard nearby where it's possible to have a nice walk.

Great viewpoint. Free entry.

An observation tower on the periphery of the town and the slope where vines are grown. It is not far from the town centre. Nothing spectcular about the tower but it offers awesome views of the town with its outstanding St. Peter Church and Werner Chapel ruins and of course the Rhine River. The surrounding vineyards are beautiful as well especially during Autumn when the grapes ripe and the leaves of grapevines turn yellow and reddish brown. After the tower, you may walk up the slope to see the ruins of part of the town walls and towers.

Although overcast & raining on the day of our visit, it was well worth the walk up to the Postenturm for the views over the town & along the Rhein river.

Picturesque and very photogenic place capturing the beauty of Rhine Valley in one snapshot. It was only a short 5 to 10 minute walk from the Barabach village, either on the main path (more comfortable) or through the vineyard (steep and a bit dangerous as I almost slipped on the gravel). The entry to the tower was free and after climbing a couple of floors we were rewarded by a stunning view of the village, Rhine valley and the Barabach castle. It was worth the effort and the sweat to come all the way up as this kind of view is hard to find! Visited in May 2022.

Werner chapel was erected after the murder of a 16-year-old boy called Werner, who was buried there. The Jewish community in Oberwesel were blamed for his death - an accusation which was completely unfounded. During the ensuing riots, 40 people were killed. The Jews were eventually exonerated by King Rudolf I who was convinced the accusations were groundless. In 1689, the French blew up the nearby Stahleck Castle during the Nine Years' War, sending falling rocks down upon the chapel, collapsing its roof. The ruined chapel was later renovated into a skeleton monument, complete with a plaque from Pope John XXII, recognizing the wrongful accusation of the Jewish community. *Information from the Internet Easy climb from old town to ruined Werner chapel

Came here today on a hot August Thursday afternoon with my three kids ages 6, 4, and 2. We parked at the Pakplatz Rheinuter Bacharach (paid though low cost parking with many spots) right near the Marktstrasse / Markturm entrance into the downtown area. We used Google maps to get to the chapel, though once we got to the St Peter Kirch there were signs pointing down the correct path and up the stairs to the chapel, after which point you couldn't miss it. I think it took us less than 10 minutes walking at my 4yo's slow pace to get from the lot to the chapel. Once there, we were able to walk around the front exterior of the chapel, but were not able to get inside, though it was easy to see through the fence/gate. The views from the terrace in front of the chapel area amazing. I toyed with the idea of going on up to the castle / youth hostel 5 minutes further up the path but it was too hot and late in the day for my young kids. We ended up going down the stairs and getting ice cream at Eiscafe, then going to the Spielplatz am Rhein near the parking lot (a playground with a great view!). The chapel itself is absolutely stunning. It seemed set up for a concert, which I imagine would be amazing to see, especially at sunset or during the night hours. I absolutely recommend seeing this if you're in the area. I'd love if we had been allowed to walk through the interior, but the exterior itself was enough to make the 1hr long drive worth it for me. There were very few people there during the 15 minutes we were there. The path was largely shaded once we left the parking lot, at least in the late afternoon. We passed toilet facilites on the way from the parking lot to the Marktum; they were below ground via stairs. Edited a few weeks later to add photos from a second visit during evening hours! (Gate was still open even though Google Maps said it was closed)

It is not really place to see. Don't get me wrong the place is clean and beautiful, but really nothing exactly to see. Also do not visit the place during the winter, everything will be closed. It would be a ghost town.

This is an important landmark of Bacharach dated back to 1289 and was destroyed in the War of the Grand Alliance in 1689. So what is left now is a ruined a High Goethic chapel that appears delicate and filigree. Though the ruins are impressive to look at, it carries a lot of historical significance.

On photos it looks bigger. Anyhow unusual beauty. Even ruins rebuild between 1986-1991 are still making this gothic church worth seeing. Other attractions in this place makes it must see place.

What a great landmark in Bacharach. The Chappell is left in ruins, but it's still so amazing to look at. The Chappell has a dark history behind it.

This is located atop the hill with a short flight of 99 steps. This was once a popular pilgrimage, as a stop-over for the pilgrims heading to Camino de Santiago in Spain. However during the 9 years war, in 1689, the bomb meant to destroy Castle Stahleck fell here and destroyed the church. All that's left here now are the ruins.

Some of the most delicious, freshest Greek food I have ever had! Service was great and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place, especially if you are looking for a change from German food.

A favourite in Bacharach. Delicious food with friendly service. I came without reservation, not recommended on a weekend by the way, and since it was just me, they managed to squeeze me in. This visit I went with the Aphrodite and enjoyed my meal very much. If you are visiting, highly recommend a lunch/dinner here. Do book to avoid disappointment.

A German twist on Greek cuisine, amazing! The gyro meat was not what we're used to and it was so delicious! They are open late and have excellent, attentive service. We had the Aphrodite and Demeter plates.

Tasty food. Only 4 stars for atmosphere as smoking on the patio. Would suggest adding an English menu to the website.

Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices :))) recommend this place wholeheartedly! And that’s coming from a Turkish person :))

Drove all day and everything in town was closed. The good chef offered us gyros and saved 3 lost, hungry passers by.

Excellent food, friendly service and pleasant atmosphere.

Best soup ever- potato and carrot. Mains were also nice as was dessert. Service not fast but ok.

I’m a big fan of local, healthy, vegetarian food - delicious is of course also a must! Here I was able to get all four in one. They had a meal of local chanterelle mushrooms with other grilled veggies on a bed of lettuce and homemade pasta made of whole wheat and stinging nettle! It was prepared to perfection by the chef, and the service was top notch. Totally recommend!

We visited here on the last night of a tour of Germany and we could not have chosen a better end to our journey. The food was fantastic, delicious and nourishing, the view was perfect and the service was friendly.

Went there for a celebratory dinner... and it was 100% worth it. The Service was attentive and quick, the food was absolutely spot-on. We all tried a variety of dishes and they all delivered. The prices are justified. Do not skip dessert!

We stayed in the area for a couple days which included the hotel above this restaurant. For the first night we decided to eat here and we were not disappointed. Everything was bang on for service and food quality and taste. The only piece that was different was sitting outside beside a busy rail line. Still… being electric is was relatively quiet and just behind it was the Rhine River to admire. I had the meal menu as shown in the photos. The appetizer was an amazing selection of flavours and tastes I couldn’t get enough of. Just delicious. The salad was fresh and mixed with textures and flavours of different vegetables and a savoury salad dressing with just the right mix of acidity and sweetness. The pork shoulder was melt in your mouth smooth and delicious with the perfect gravy to smooth out the palate. The deserts were surprisingly fun and different. Each their own flavour and nothing was wasted. I would definitely recommend eating here and if you love trains you will love it even more. Bon appetite!

Excellent food in a beautiful location. The trains going by only added to the ambience. The kitchen did a great job accommodating allergies. A good choice for someone who is gluten or dairy free to enjoy a gourmet meal.

Main dishes were amazing. Good portion, delicious taste. However appetizers were below average & extremely tiny. There is nothing to drink here except for the dry wine (no cocktails, no semi sweet wine, nothing), it’s actually the big problem an prevented us from spending the evening here. The place was almost empty, but we were not allowed to sit on the best places as “it is booked” Also there are a lot of trains passing 20 meters in front of you in a cloud of dust and noise

Wonderful dining experience in a historical building. Amazing Riesling and delicious Flammkuchen. The servers were incredibly kind and made this one of our favorite dining experiences on our recent trip to Germany. Highly recommend!

Super great restaurant! The owner is super nice and funny! We asked the owner to recommend all of our wine and food and it was delicious and affordable ~ less than 10 euros per person was something we didn't expect. Also took a lot of photos, in short if you come to this town then this restaurant is definitely recommended!

We came for the affordable wine tastings, and ended up enjoying the Flammkuchen, which is similar to a pizza, but with a ultra fine delicate crust. The same family has manage for the last 400 years! We enjoyed our time here so much we returned the following evening.

Great service and atmosphere, flammkuchen was spectacular, and a nice wine/beer selection. We will miss this place.

Ideal place to experience Rhein Wines and historical atmosphere! The service is on a highest level in this place. Andreas was very friendly and charismatic❤, free WiFi and toys for our child were provided. Pleasant music plays inside. Flammkuchen, pizza, cheese and ham plates, garlic brad and wines from local wineries were perfect! Extremely Delicious!

Attractive house/restaurant in a town loaded with cute houses. This now restaurant, is housed in what was once a mint . The mint was renowned for minting Guilders and other coinage along the Rhein river. Lovingly restored and beautiful to look at. Central location along the major street in Bacharach. Recommended

What a great German pub. If you come to Bacharach, you must visit this pub. We stayed next door and this was our place to drink a beer and meet local people. Andreas made us feel like family. This was the best time of our visit to Bacharach!!! Can't wait until we can visit again. Thank you, Andreas, for a great time!

Our family stayed in the holiday apartments and had a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, the apartment was clean and centrally located, and parking was easy. There’s a very nice courtyard available as well. After leaving and flying back home to the USA, we realized we left several souvenirs in the apartment. Dennis at the front desk provided excellent customer service and was able to mail the items to us! I highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again if I return to Bacharach in the future.

Best in show — by a large margin — on our long and winding trip through Germany. We stayed in the apartments which are spacious, clean, beautiful views, and nicer in person than in the photos. Staff was really helpful and everything we needed (extra towels, etc) was easy to access on site. Meanwhile, location is perfect for exploring the area… Can’t recommend enough!

Beautiful inside with gorgeous old paintings and stained glass! This could be one of the oldest buildings in Bacharach!

We had a double room on the third floor with balcony. The room is very spacious and quiet. Location is in the very center of Bacharach as well as the hotel owned parking space. Very positive to mention is the charging station for electro vehicles with reasonable prices and easy to use. The staff is super friendly and supportive. Breakfast gives all what the traveller needs for a busy sightseeing day at the Rhine.

Loved this hotel. Staff are exceptional. Rooms are clean and very comfortable. Location is exceptional as a centre for exploring the Middle Rhine area. He restaurant is also very good. Definitely recommend.

Wow!! 1) gorgeous historic hotel 2) the service is outstanding. The staff went out of their way to make my husband’s birthday special 3) nice restaurant (closed Thursdays) and breakfast 4) the wine tasting at dinner is a fun way to try local wines if you can’t go to the wineries yourself! 5) perfect location in the heart of the town WITH PARKING! A friend told us to stay here, we did, and we will continue the tradition of telling our friends to stay here in the future. Thank you for great experience

We stayed in the “Noir” apartment for five days in Bacharach. One should note that if you get one of the apartments they are in a separate building, which is approximately 100 meters away from the main hotel. The building is located next to the hotel’s parking lot, but it really was not much of a problem for us during our stay. The apartment was extremely large and well maintained but be aware that there is NO maid service, everything is self-service. Once you enter the building there is an area fully stocked with towels, trash bags, cleaning cloths, soaps, etc. to meet any of your needs and is very well maintained. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and quickly addressed any concerns we might have had. We only ate breakfast on two occasions due to early morning tours but is highly recommended. There is a wide selection of breakfast food items to meet anyone’s taste but cannot comment on the dinner menu since we never had a chance to eat in the restaurant. A few extra comments about the apartments: there is no elevator (lift) available so if you are on the top floor you will need to carry your bags up a few flights of stairs. In addition, on our first night there, I needed to wear earplugs due to the people above our room – sounded like a herd of buffalo above us but thankfully they left the following day, and we had peace and quiet for the rest of our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay at this hotel in the future.
