Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Rheinfels
Rhig. 8, Stein am Rhein, Schaffhausen, 8260, Switzerland Fodor's Choice
Almost every room has a Rhine view at this waterfront landmark, which was built between 1508 and 1517. True to its history, the knight in the stairway greets guests, the floors creak with 16th-century authenticity, and the 150-year-old furniture still helps guests relax in their rooms. The restaurant draws crowds from the area for its freshwater fish dishes; it is closed every Wednesday between September and June.
PROS
- medieval atmosphere is a thrill
- people come from miles away for the fish dishes
- waterfront location
CONS
- slightly old-fashioned room decor
- proximity to a busy thoroughfare
- no reception desk
