Since the wellness reception is no longer staffed after 6 p.m., people from outside, who are clearly not hotel guests, use the sauna and swimming pool, which is accompanied by loud yelling and screaming. …

Absolute recommendation. The rooms are super clean, the staff is very accommodating and consistently nice. The view of the ruins from the room is great. Breakfast selection very good. Mr. Colditz's service in the restaurant was simply top class, as was the food served. We'd love to come back!

The Göbel’s Schlosshotel in Friedewald impresses at first glance with its charming location and the historical charm of the castle. Especially if you choose one of the spacious suites, you will experience a stay in extremely comfortable and tastefully furnished rooms that offer space and well-being in equal measure. However, some could use a little refresher in the near future - but that's complaining at a high level.The castle hotel also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of cuisine: in the evening, guests can look forward to very good cuisine that impresses with sophisticated dishes. The cocktail menu is also not to be underestimated - quality is very important here and you can end the day relaxing with a delicious drink. The breakfast buffet has a wide selection and ensures a good start to the day, even if there is still room for improvement in small details.The wellness area is pleasantly designed and invites you to relax. Particularly noteworthy are the diverse options for indoor recreation. However, the outdoor pool is a bit small, which can be a bit disappointing, especially on sunny days. If you still want to be active in the area, there are beautiful hiking trails - but the region doesn't offer much for extended activities.Despite the castle character, which promises a certain romance, the property lacks the spectacular effect that one expects from a castle. Although the hotel park is attractive, the “castle feeling” remains in the background. Overall, however, there is a pleasant, familiar charm without expecting too much luxury. For what the castle hotel offers, the price-performance ratio can be described as quite fair.In summary, it can be said that Göbel's Schlosshotel is a beautiful retreat with harmonious cuisine and relaxation potential, but less so for guests for whom it is important to have a lot to do in the surrounding area.
