Revita Hotel Kocher

The best feature of this hotel is the swimming pool coupled with spectacular panoramic views. Fantastic. Except you cannot access the pool until 10AM - at checkout time … very cunning!! So make sure you use the pool when you first arrive. The restraunt is nice too, with quality food, however I did not like the elitist booking system where our dinner and breakfast seat was predetermined by admin … we had no say … and were not allowed to have a window seat to enjoy the view while dining … but as no one occupied the first row seats, we were able to still see the wonderful view from our table. Ironically (and somewhat miraculously) just as we were finishing, and ‘first class’ gradually arrived to take their seats, a storm of clouds descended resulting in zero visibility for all! For us, it was very nice while it lasted! The standard nicely decorated room is quite nice and mostly (with a few bugs) clean (but barely a view) but there is no air conditioning, so leaving the window and door open is a security risk but you will be cooler!! The bathroom is small and the poor shower design means the floor becomes more like a wading pool. The beds are very basic design with saggy mattress and saggy suffocating all-night sleepless pillows. Breakfast is served in the same restaurant and like dinner was good ‘continental’ quality with the option of making your own egg breakie but you need to ask for someone to do it for you - which turned out delicious. Again great views, but if you’re coming bring your own mini kettle, fan and firm pillow and try to book a room that ensures dinner and breakfast views.

We stayed here for one night during a Danube cycle tour. The hotel far exceeded our expectations. The setting is beautiful and so peaceful. We made full use of the pool area as we had very hot weather whilst cycling. We had dinner on the terrace. All our meals were delicious. Our room was lovely with a large balcony and wonderful view. I wished we were able to stay longer.
