Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Schwan

Owned by the Wenckstern family since it was built in 1628, this green-and-white half-timber inn offers considerable comfort, with the adjacent Gasthaus Ilse offering simpler, more budget-friendly rooms than those in the historic main building. Many rooms have a Rhine view, as does the beautiful terrace. The staff are friendly and helpful, and you can sample the family's wines in the cavernous wine cellar; coffee and homemade cakes can be enjoyed in the café.
