Of course you cant judge a hotel on the basis of its complementary umbrellas but if you did the Closterhof would do very well. We needed them most of the time during our two days stay due to the weather but even the rain didnt detract from the charm of this hotel.
It's a fairly dull looking building from the outside but is well located just on the edge of the old part of this fantastically pretty town. It also backs onto the Rhein and our room faced directly on to it. It seems to be used for a lot of conferences and that makes it quite expensive during the week but they have very good packages at weekends that include some fantastic food.
Our saturday night meal was a five course affair and was simply superb! The other thing that sets the hotel out is the friendliness of the staff. Really everybody was all smiles all the time. It made a difference and after a couple fo very relaxing days with great food we left smiling too.
