Rüdesheim

Two old mansions converted into a hotel and run by a wine-growing family. Excellent food. About 500m from the Rhine.

Rheinhotel Lamm

Three-star hotel on the Rhine, very close to train station. Modern, recently renovated rooms, friendly English-speaking staff. Note that only "Comfort" and above rooms actually have Rhine views, while the "Standard" rooms face the train line to the back and can be quite noisy; ask for a quiet room, and they'll bump you up if there's space.
