Hi <BR> <BR>Could anyone recommend a good place to spend the night in koblenz? Something about $60-$100 US. <BR> <BR>Thanks

Amanda: You could try one that I was looking at for our trip in May, but settled on Assmanshausen instead. <BR> <BR>It's the Hotel Hoemann just across from the Bahnhof on Bahnhofplatz 5. It's clean, family-run and cheap. About $50.00 will get a double with breakfast included. The phone is +49 (0) 261 30378-0 or fax +49 (0) 261 303781. They have a website at "www.hotel-hoehmann-koblez.com. <BR> <BR>Don't forget to see the "Deutches Eck". <BR> <BR>Have fun! <BR>

Amanda - if you are not in a hurry - why not write to their tourist office - they sent me a comprehensive list of their hotels: [email protected] <BR>Enjoy!

Thank Lydia and Lee. <BR> <BR>I really appreciate this help - I couldn't find anything on koblenz in any of the guide books I have nor received much help from the local german tourist office. <BR> <BR

Lee, <BR> <BR>What is "Deutches Eck"? <BR> <BR>Amanda

BTW Lee, that URL for hoemann isn't correct. I've corrected the koblenz to include an "n" but it's still not right.

Hey Amanda, <BR> <BR>That URL (with the 'n') worked for me (it is auf Deutsch though). <BR> <BR>http://www.hotel-hoehmann-koblenz.com/ <BR> <BR>'Deutsches Eck' literally means German Corner, and I believe it is where the Rhine and the Mosel meet. <BR> <BR>I've never been there though, so I can;t add much else. <BR> <BR>Ike.

Amanda (and everyone!): Yes, the Deutches Eck is indeed "German Corner". It is the riverside park where the Rhine and Mosel Rivers converge. There is a park with a very large monument with one of the Wilhelm's, I believe, astride a stallion and you can go up into the base and it provides a great view of the river(s) below. <BR> <BR>Thanks for helping out on the "Koblenz" spelling. <BR> <BR>Hope you got into the website okay. <BR> <BR>Lee <BR>

Thanks Lee and Ike. <BR> <BR>I did get into the web site okay - once I knew the hotel name, I could just do a quick search on a search engine. I managed to get to it through hotelseurope website, which then led to more links. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

If you are not tied in to Koblenz, try Cochem down the Moselle a bit. We stayed at the Alte Thornschenke (sp) and were very pleased. If you are interested email me and I will dig out the information for you

Thanks Bob. <BR> <BR>But we are tied up as such. We're hoping to catch the first rhine cruise from koblenz to bacharac, first thing in the morning. <BR> <BR>We're probably getting to koblenz a little late. The day we arrive at koblenz, we're leaving amsterdam early, stopping off at cologne and then to koblenz.
