Gästehaus Abtei Sayn

“Great service, perfect location. All good.”

We were here for a weekend and stayed in a guest apartment. To access the apt you need to go up two rather narrow staircases, so you better have good knees.... Service is super friendly and always helpful. The location is great. Really liked staying there.

“Unique accommodation on a peaceful location”

Many positive things have already been said about this accommodation and we were generally enthusiastic about it as well. We were here in December and had two different rooms: one room on the ground floor with a very spacious (fairly new) bathroom and a smaller room on the first floor with a relatively old bathroom. The rooms are ok, but certainly not fantastic: quite dated and the water in the shower on the 1st floor did not drain properly. The mattresses were on the soft side. Early in the morning (if we remember correctly already at 6 o'clock!) the church bells started ringing and this is very noticeable if you sleep with the windows open. Perhaps something to bear in mind if you plan to come to this place in the summer, as there is obviously no air conditioning in the rooms. The location of the abbey/hotel is on the edge of (actually outside) Bendorf and is absolutely fantastic: quietly situated between the trees and hills and therefore a good starting point for various walks. In combination with the snow, this really felt like a fairy-tale. The breakfast room is also the check-in area and restaurant, a 5 / 10-minute walk from the abbey. The breakfast is luxurious and extensive and it is possible to order additional items such as extra bread or tea/coffee. We also had dinner here in the evening and the food was just as good. All in all: reasonable rooms, but above all a fantastic location with good breakfast and evening meals.

We stayed here overnight, the building is a converted Abbey set in a beautiful setting and very peaceful with plenty of parking out the front. There is no front desk and you are advised (booked with Expedia) to call a number for someone to let you in but the gentleman, who spoke English, was already there dealing with other guests so we didn't need to do this. We had a ground floor room with a huge bathroom (disabled friendly) and proper hairdryer, the shower was very powerful - almost too powerful. The room was quite sparse with a wooden floor but the bed was very comfortable two bottles of water were provided in the room. There is no tea & coffee facilities in the room, but there is a communal fully equipped kitchen with tea, coffee makers, chocolates, fridge etc, we didn't use this as we had bought our own kettle. At the front of the hotel/guest house is a honesty fridge and cupboard fully stocked with beers, wine, water and soft drinks, next to it is a sheet where you write down what you had and leave the money - how lovely, again, we didn't use this as we had our own wine. Breakfast was included and was a 5 minute walk to a restaurant through the park area. I have submitted a separate review for the breakfast as it was a gastronomic experience with several courses. We also ate dinner here which was also very good. Unfortunately we didn't get to explore much of the surrounding town as it was pouring with rain when we arrived and we were only staying overnight en-route back to the UK but there is lots to see, a butterfly garden, castle and palace among things so we will definitely be returning and will stay 2 nights to visit Koblenz which is a short bus ride away.

“Interesting Experience”

The room is big with a bedroom and hall. As it is sited near to the mountains, at a higher altitude, it was pretty cold. There’s heater though. The hall is pretty dimly lit. No front desk. Stairs to main door and room. Quiet location. Breakfast was really lovely.
