Great stay during early December at the Hotel Cochemer Jung! Excellent location, staff, clean rooms, good breakfast!
We arrived around 1, earlier than their stated 3:00 check in time. This hotel doesn't have a staffed check in and uses a self service check in system.
There was a very nice employee in the lobby area and she went and talked to the housekeeping staff to see if the rooms might be ready. They were able to at least have one room ready, so we were able to put our luggage away.
Breakfast (8-10, open only for hotel guests) in their restaurant was good with the usual eggs, breakfast meats, assorted breads, spreads, fruits, cold cuts, etc. Didn't get her name, but one of the restaurant staff (dark hair color) was really nice and helpful.
Rooms were clean and modern. Our friends paid a little more and got a slightly larger room with a great view of the river/bridge. Our room was smaller and a view of the building behind but it was fine. Heated floors (very nice in winter!) and heated towel racks too. Complimentary wifi included. No in room safes or mini fridge.
Since we were only staying two nights, we didn't need room service. There is an extra charge for room service if you want it.
Location is right in the main Cochem town area and the village had their own Christmas Market with a medieval theme. If you arrive by train, make sure you get the local taxi company's number so you don't have to haul your luggage over the cobblestone pavers!
