Apartment in Boppard

Can anyone recommend a 2 bedroom apartment in Boppard? I would love a view of the Rhine. We will be looking for 4 - 5 days in September.

I can only recommend that you just turn up in the town itself one fine day and start your search there. Try the local tourist office, or just ask around. It won'tbe long before you are given a lead.

Just don't be 'turning up' during a wine festival or the 'Rhine in Flames' display.

By the way, Boppard sent me a heavy package of tourist brochures and a large booklet on hotels - I am sure it also contained other types of 'stays' but I didn't pay any attention to them. Send for 'accomodations' at:

If you are willing to go a little farther south, check out:

http://www.hotel-zur-loreley.de/st-g...any/index.html

Click on the English option, then click on "apartments" on the left hand side of the page. In 2000, my husband and I stayed in one of the hotel's apartments (not the one pictured), located in a separate building across the pedestrian walk way. The apartment was huge, clean, airy, inexpensive, typical German breakfast included, and had a wonderful view of the Rhine. It was on the fourth (US equivalent, fifth) floor, requiring lots of steps. I loved to stand at the window and watch the action on the river. Note: the Rhine is a commercial waterway and lots of boats travel during the night, making a location near the river a bit noisy, but worth it IMHO.

Thanks all. We are still looking and will look at all your suggestions, except for turning up and looking around. Usually a good idea and we used to do this but with a small child now I like to have some certainty! We are also considering the Hotel Garni Gunther.

We stayed in St Goar but spent a day at Boppard - it's great... take the chairlift and have lunch at the outdoor terrace cafe, overlooking the horseshoe bend of the Rhine.

We have left it a bit late to get an apartment including a weekend in September I think. Most of the apartments near to or on the Rhine were already booked, including St Goar. We have booked the Hotel Garni Gunther for our stay.

Thanks again for the advice.
