We have stayed at the Rheinhotel Dreesen many times and the staff is without fail friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious, pretty, fastidiously clean, and very comfortable. The breakfast spread is wonderful and you're dining in a spectacular room with huge windows looking out over the river and across at castle-topped hills. It's definitely worth springing for a room with a balcony on the river if you can swing it -- gorgeous sunrises, glittering lights at night, boats and swans passing by. The rooms facing the street are nice too -- beautiful huge trees outside and there's no street noise at all. The neighborhood is exceptionally lovely, quiet, and very safe, and you're in easy walking distance to many wonderful small shops and restaurants as well as the Bad Godesberg train station.
