Unfortunately, we could only stay at Jakobsberg for one night. I was delighted by the whole experience and would love to have had more time. The location was excellent. The river view was simply amazing. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The property was large, but felt intimate. We had dinner in the restaurant and morning breakfast. Both were wonderful. The wine selection was impressive. The staff was friendly and helpful. The weather was poor so we did not get to enjoy the grounds. I would definitely return to the Jakobsberg Hotel We were in the old wing - which was charming. There is a newer section with spa services which also looked nice.

“A Scenic Golf Hotel”

My wife likes to hike and so do I (if there's a golf course attached) so this resort was perfect for both of us.

My wife likes to hike and so do I (if there's a golf course attached) so this resort was perfect for both of us. Corona19 has altered vacation dynamics and quarantine conditions were still apparent, but Jakobsberg seemed to be doing a great job under current (Summer 2020) circumstances though some amenities (fitness/restaurant) were compromised or still closed. That said, we enjoyed 2 nights here very much. Restaurant and desk staff were sweet and made us feel at home, it seemed everyone was happy to be open for business again. Dirk and the team at the golf area were wonderful, rental clubs were a comparative bargain at $20 with Taylor Made short irons, and having a late afternoon with just a few other players on the course (in good condition though fairways were dry as stated by someone previously) is exactly how I like it anyway. Small but very efficient gym with range of 10 shiny new, top quality machines and multiple hand weights was open, limited to two occupants so we had it to ourselves. Wifi worked fine on two laptops throughout 3 days. Breakfast was good though buffet was closed, some of the best scrambled eggs and salmon I've had at a hotel. The hotel has some interesting sculptures and artwork ie: gun, carving, and pipe collections but what's most memorable, for worse or better, are the taxidermy displays of African animals which those against hunting will probably hate. I am not a hunter or fan but the displays reminded me of small museums from the '60s. The hotel sits atop a scenic, wooded mountain range over the riverside Rhineland town of Boppard which is well worth a visit. Bottom line : This was the first vacation we've taken since the pandemic hit, and I was apprehensive about travel/hotels/etc away from our Dusseldorf base but the many visible hygienic safeguards in place here made me quite comfortable. Have been home 3 weeks now with no issues and these days that's the most important thing. I definitely plan on returning.

“Great place for families”

It was so lovely to live above the Rhein and look out over it each day. Highlights of our stay: It was a great place for families. Our kids 6 & 10 got welcome bags with all sorts of fun things.

It was so lovely to live above the Rhein and look out over it each day. Highlights of our stay: It was a great place for families. Our kids 6 & 10 got welcome bags with all sorts of fun things. The central green space had all sorts of games and activities outside that they enjoyed. The room was a really good size. The kids also got cute bathrobes for whenever we went up to the pool with little bear ears - they loved that. There were goats out in front that the kids greeted each day which was fun. The pool we had nearly to ourselves. The spa area looked really nice but it was mostly closed to to Corona - nothing to be done about that. The interior design and African inspiration was really well done. It was too bad all the explanations were just in German. We had dinner twice in the restaurant and it was very good. The venison was outstanding. When you make a reservation for dinner make sure to ask for the dining room to the left as the other is the usual breakfast room. It’s a super cozy room with soft seating, nicer decor and atmosphere. There are also the stunning views of the river. The staff at the front desk was lovely as well. Helpful, charming and took good care of us. They all spoke English as well which we always appreciate. Really a lovely experience. Breakfast was ordinary but adequate. Nothing special. Could have been Corona but I think it was just ordinary German.

“Friendly but dated”

My partner & I stayed here for 3 nights on our way back to UK. Although the staff are friendly, there seems to be no urgency in their work & perhaps could do with a bit of retraining. The restaurant was chaotic on the Saturday night, better Sunday & Monday but hardly any guests to deal with. Our ... more

My partner & I stayed here for 3 nights on our way back to UK. Although the staff are friendly, there seems to be no urgency in their work & perhaps could do with a bit of retraining. The restaurant was chaotic on the Saturday night, better Sunday & Monday but hardly any guests to deal with. Our room felt like sleeping in an office & definitely needed a facelift. Scuffed doors & walls, a broken wardrobe mirror, poor lighting, scruffy garden & basic bathroom accessories. Not really the standard I would expect from a 4* hotel.
