As you are driving north along the Mosel and B49 - the next village after Cochem is Klotten (5 minutes). It is also the next train stop after Cochem. Klotten is a nice small quiet village and is full of inexpensive Zimmer Frei and Pensions.

The Pension Steffens turned out to be a very nice inexpensive alternative to staying in touristy Cochem. It is located just an easy short walk from the train station or the river front. I had an Einzelzimmer with toilet (shower next door in hallway), balcony, a well stocked refrigerator (take what you like - just add it to your bill) and satellite TV.

Frau Marliese Steffens is a warm and friendly hostess who keeps an immaculate house.

Her breakfasts (included) are excellent - several different breads, Wurst, cheese, spreads, homemade jelly, coffee, juices, an egg and always a sweet treat to go.

I found her preparing her rooms one day and asked if I could take a few pictures of her doublerooms. All nice and roomy with TV and refrigerator.
