A tiny piece of Italy 🇮🇹
We read a few reviews prior to booking with a few people saying this place is anti English, absolute rubbish. This Italian family could not do enough for you. The head man Roberto was amazing. His Italian food that was reasonably priced and was the best we have tasted to date. What more could you want eating amazing food about 20 metres from the Rhein in a stunning location with great Beer. If there was anything to complain about it is the beautiful peace and quiet could be too much if you're a party animal. Would we go there again? Absolutely. Would we recommend this place absolutely. Go give Roberto a visit you will not regret it.

Overnight stay
Premises and room were very clean, room with budget bed and furniture only one very flat pillow each, none extra in wardrobe.Right on the river Rhine so beautiful setting and within walking distance of town, although town very quiet due to the pandemic. There was also a small beer/ wine festival on the river bank with inflatable play park for childern. Evening meal was lovely on the terrace and reasonably priced. Breakfast 10 euros but only cereal and egg so very overpriced. We did see other people with cold meats etc but as we had already been made to feel a bit stupid for asking for black tea with a big fuss made, we were reluctant to ask for anything else and we were not offered any other food or given guidance regarding how it worked regarding breakfast. Owners seemed very friendlly and chatted with other guests but spent very little time with us, maybe as we were English speakers. Parking very good at side of hotel and a place for cycle bikes. Okay for overnight but probabby won't visit again.

Nice location
The Bellavista was in a very good position at the side of the river Rhine. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean, plenty of safe parking. The WiFi was very hit and miss which was disappointing. The hotel was very quiet, we didn’t have breakfast but had a meal one evening in the restaurant which was ok. You are paying for the location . There was a railway station close by and also bus terminal. We caught a bus into Koblenz which was about 6 euros but came back by river boat 9 euros each, a very pleasant 40 minutes cruise.

An Italian gem amongst Germany's jewels
The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars for comfort and condition is that this hotel is more like the traditional family hotels we used to use (and prefer) than the slick chain hotels there are so much more of now. 5 stars might have given the wrong expectations of style and luxury, but we actually preferred this. And upgrading for just a few Euros to a room with a balcony was the best value of the holiday: the view of the Rhine was idyllic. The food was excellent, but don't expect traditional German, even though you're on the Rhine, because the owner/chef is Italian and so is the menu. It was easy to find, on the main road following the Rhine south of Koblenz, and with a room at the back we were protected from much of the road noise. The trains run all night across the main road, but that's true of virtually everywhere we stayed in Germany - it's such an industrious country. And I do mean industrious in the busy, hardworking sense, not industrial in the bleak, smoky sense. I would happily recommend this place for a stay of several nights: the Rhine views, the old town of Braubach across the road, beautiful Koblenz 15 minutes to the north, Rhine drives, boat trips.... and all that for a VERY reasonable B&B rate.

Well below expectations
Italian staff unknowable about the area. Room was clean but lacked any feel of comfort. A good nights sleep was out of the question mainly due to cheap uncomfortable beds busy road and high speed rail track within 50 meters of the hotel, also the paper thin walls between rooms. The town itself had very little to offer. Only good point was its location being very close to the Rein and the boat trips. Breakfast was very basic.

Non-German speakers apparently not welcome
The service was ABYSMAL! The place is RIGHT next to the train line (so we had to yell at each other every time a train was passing) and the shower door could have used a thorough scrubbing but the view was great. They have a restaurant so we ordered pizza and drinks. Drinks came in a timely manner but after waiting for our pizza for 45 minutes (and not seeing the waiter again since the delivery of our first and only drink order), I went in to ask about it. He never put the order in- he didn't speak English and misunderstood our pointing to the pizza on the menu and asking for one. Ok. While my traveling companion didn't have the coolest head after drinking a liter of beer on an empty stomach, the manager was EXTREMELY rude to both of us. He refused to apologize for ignoring the only 3 occupied tables in the entire place for 45 minutes, he raised his voice to both of us (granted she raised hers too) and then actually told me that his employee was stupid (what?!) and that it would be nice, if I were coming to Germany for vacation, for me to speak German and then maybe this wouldn't have happened (WHAT?!). So apparently if you don't speak German, don't bother coming here. I will point out that the 2 other tables DID have German speakers- while they had no problems getting their orders, they were also not helped again for 40+ minutes. Speaking German seems to have no effect on the overall quality of service- I could still be sitting there without being checked on.

hotel bellavista
Hotel is located directly on the river rhein, beautiful place but train runs adjacent to hotel,train runs every 10 min even in the night, it is very loud,it is hard to get sleep there. Breakfast was overpriced 7,50euro and they have no good choice, you can have better meal for that price in restaurants.

Great location, noisy freight trains
Overall, this hotel met our needs for a hotel with a nice view in a convenient location. However, the freight trains made it very difficult to sleep. Although the hotel indicates "soundproof rooms", this is certainly not the case in very warm weather if you need to keep the window open at night.

Superb location, but this Italian hotel on the banks of the Rhine was pretty grotty, and trains passing all night on both sides of the river did not make sleep easier.

Perfect Location
The hotel was very close (2mins) to the station which was ideal. It was also very close (1 min) to the supermarket. It was also just 100m from the ferry port. The staff were extremely friendly with good english too. The hotel is right on the river and has extremely good views from the beer garden. The room had an excellent view of both the river and the nearest castle (Marksburg). It was very easy to rent bikes and travel up and down the Rhine or by the ferry.

Great place to enjoy The Valley
I've stayed in hotels all over Europe, and this hotel was a really great value. The rooms with the Rhine view are very nice for the cost. We only stayed for one night, as we were passing through the area, but I would like to come back to this hotel and area to spend more time. You can hear barges and trains, but that's part of being on the river, and the noise is not enough to disrupt your stay. On a Saturday night there were people partying across the river, but again, that comes with the territory. I highly recommend this hotel.

Fantastic View of the Rhine!
This hotel doesn't look like much from the outside, but with its Baconies with views of the Rhine and its charming dining area, its a definite hit (at least at the very resonable rate I paid). The sign outside says "A little Piece of Italy on the Rhine, or something like that) We were budget travelers using Hotels.com to get the best rates in Europ. This is a small hotel with a family like staff which were very helpful. When i told the Italian female (co-owner?) that I studied German in high school, she always spoke german to me and wanted me to reply in german, a nice touch! The nearby castle of Marksburg has a great tour. Google it. If you arrive at 12:00 noon the tour is in English. Bottom line: If you can get a room on the river with a balcony, don't miss this place. Definitely not a 5 star hotel however, if you are looking for that type of hotel.
