Rheinhotel Luxhof

Hi, I was at this hotel for two days, the room which I got was not that where I can say, I felt comfortable in it, it was small and has seen many a guest, it was ok for a sleep although I had a room facing the front, which meant I could here the traffic, it was in May, outside it was very hot but at night I had to close the window otherwise there was no chance of sleeping. The toilet, was in a sort of small area to the rear, I was very careful using it, now don’t laugh because every time I sat on it, it made such a sound you thought I would come out of the wall, I am 65 Kgs I don’t dread to think what would happen if some a lot heavier was to use it. The bathroom was quite small, the shower was ok for me but if someone who is bigger than I am gets this room then there could be problems, there was no hairdryer in this room, although online the better rooms had one. I had my own water boiler with me so that I could make a coffe when I wanted it. The breakfast was ok, the normal sort of things which you have at home, ham, cheese, salami, fried beacon and scrambled eggs, some yogurt, orange juice, tea and coffee, there were two types of rolls on the Monday morning and Tuesday morning there were even croissants, maybe because there was more guest for breakfast on Tuesday as on Monday morning. I arrived early Sunday evening at roundabout 20:30, sorry to say that the restaurant was closed, which meant I had to drive in to Speyer for a meal, here you have a wide choice of places where a good meal is served. My stay was planned from Sunday through to Friday morning, I had to leave Wednesday due to circumstances which were not planned, nevertheless I personally would not recommend this hotel if you plan to stay longer, I did check the homepage and they have some very nice rooms according to the photos which are online, but my room was not one of these, I think it is very important that you feel comfortable when stay at any hotel. This hotel is according to its web site a 3 Star hotel? This is my personal opinion from my visit to this hotel.

I was sleeping in the old building, so the windows need a refresh, its cold, the near road don`t let you sleep and in wintertime the heating radiator didn`t work. But for small money it was all in all ok.

Spent 3 nights here. Ideally situated by the Rhine it is very quiet and rural despite being less than 0.5 km from the cathedral town of Speyer, Bags of parking. Reasonable rooms. EaSY TO FIND AND HANDY FOR GOING PLACES Good breakfasts with lots of choice and attentive service. The brochure does point out that wi fi is free in public areas but if you have work to do and need books and papers this is neither ideal nor indeed safe. A good signal in the rooms is pretty well mandatory these days. It has a restaurant which is reasonably priced but mainly offers pizzas and salads and 2 kinds of pasta. Ok but not exciting nor memorable. Wines not bad though One day of my stay we had ambient temps of 5-7 degrees and the heating did not work or was not on either way a trifle chilly. No A/C Thank God for Laphraoig. staff attentive and helpful
