My wife and I spent two nights in the castle; one of our few splurges on our trip around Europe. It was entirely worth it. Our room was one of the "smaller" ones, but with plenty of room to move around in and enjoy our time. A nice fruit basket, bottle of Sherry and chocolates awaited us when we arrived.... More

A good friend recommended this hotel to us some time ago, touting its wonderful combination of great antiquity with high end finishes. Over the past couple of years, we've introduced family and friends to this unique establishment and enjoyed many multi-course gourmet meals in its restaurant. The castle itself is perfectly positioned on the Rhine River, and is a nice... More

Our family stayed here for two nights at the end of our holiday trip. It far exceeded my expectations. It is a castle - but a very luxurious one. Both our rooms were charming and full of character. Watching the barge traffic on the Rhine was great fun. Dinner was wonderful - a gastronomical experience of many courses. The service... More

We dropped off our passengers and went to pick them up. I would recommend arranging transportation from the train station to the castle prior to getting on the train. It's a long walk up.... More

Have you ever dreamed of staying in an actual castle, with endlessly winding rooms, hidden corners, towers, etc.? If so, this is the place for you. It's wonderful to wander around indoors and out, getting lost in the endless castle rooms and the grounds, with wonderful views of the MIttelrhein appearing suddenly as you turn up the stairs or around...
