My wife and I stayed here from 4-7 October after destroying our livers at Oktoberfest in Munich. First of all, Oberwesel is a quaint little town on the Rhine; it's certainly not as charming as Bacharah but it has its share of historical buildings and landmarks. Castle Schoenburg is in a perfect spot, sitting above the town, to gaze out... more

From the moment we parked our car and walked up the cobblestone path to the castle we knew that we were going to be in for a very unique experience! The castle is perched on top of a hill overlooking the Rhine river and valley and the town of Oberwesel. One drives a couple switchbacks and mountain side to get... more

Our 3 night stay at the Schoenburg Castle was a dream. Our family had rooms #11 and #12 which overlook the Rhein. These are exquisitely appointed. Obviously a designer was given carte blanche and told that no expense would be spared. We spent 1 day simply exploring the entire castle and grounds. The staff are fluent in English and quite... more

I did not want to leave. From the moment you drive up and see the castle in all it's glory, you are hooked. We parked at the base of the castle and walked across the wooden bridge. The walk up is on steep cobblestone and can get a little slippery so be careful. Others have complained about the walk up... more

We ate dinner in the restaurant and received some food compliments of the chef as an appetizer. Our room was finely equipped but still gave the old feeling of the castle. Bed was huge,shower was beautiful and just an overall great... more

This was certainly a once in a lifetime stay for us. We stayed at this wonderful, beautiful old castle in the seven maidens room..... if you can even call it a room! This was the largest room I've ever stayed in! We had two balconies! The bathroom alone was the size of my kitchen(ok, not quite but it was really... more

I stayed at the Schoenburg with my wife and parents over Easter weekend 2009. It was a surprise to stay in a castle for my parents who hadn't been in Europe in over 30 years. We knew we had spent a good amount of money on this night of accomodation, but it was well worth the price. The castle itself... more

You can read the reviews of other guests in regards to the particulars of this "hotel." We stayed in room 21 below the Falcon Suite (room 24) which had a small child running around. A telephone call to the front desk solved this problem. You'll find robes, slippers, brandy, a room safe and a nice selection of CDs to listen... more
