Lifetime highlight! The views of the hills and vineyards, the shingles, and the authentic furnishings made this the “best of” our trip. …

Perfect hotel for comfort, great food, location and history. As a family we booked two singles and lovely room with a patio. All were wonderful. We hated to leave the Oberwesel region.  …

This is a very nice hotel in a castle. It was interesting to wander around and see the Rhine views. We were a group of 7 with 5 rooms, and our rooms were individually quite different and very good. The restaurant was closed the night we were there, but we ate at the bistro, which had an extensive menu and was also very good.

Fantastic place to stay. Beautiful views of the Rhine. Great customer service both at the front desk office and also in the fine dining restaurant. The restaurant accommodated my wife’s needs as a vegetarian and no garlic. Amazing. …

Amazing hotel. Our room was high up in the central tower with a balcony overlooking the Rhine Gorge. Our room was cleverly modernised with good LED lighting and a modern bathroom but feeling like an old original room. …

We had an incredible time here getting to sleep in a castle along the Rhine. Very deserving of a full 5 star review. The whole team was extremely helpful the entire stay. Even before we arrived, they generously helped us book a taxi to bring us from the train station to the castle and assisted us with choosing the best river cruise.We stayed in room #15. Described as one of the smallest rooms, we found it to still have plenty of space for two people. Free minibar was a fun perk. We stayed at the property on a Monday, when the main restaurant was closed. However, the Castle Bistro served a very good dinner and the included breakfast was fantastic too. We had a lot of fun exploring the beautiful grounds and castle itself - there is so much to see!Not at all a complaint, but something important to note: since this castle property is perched high on a hill as one might expect, this does make it more difficult to reach Oberwesel/explore surrounding towns if you do not have a car with you. Certainly doable, but requires a bit more planning with taxis or budgeting in extra time for walking.We are already planning our next trip back to stay at Burghotel Auf Schönburg and can't wait to return.

A castle hotel with a great location and atmosphere. The hotel staff are all friendly and have a high level of hospitality. Dinner in the summer season is recommended because you can enjoy the wonderful view on the terrace and receive the best service. Only some of the staff at the breakfast venue are a little unfriendly.

Beautiful castle to spend a night, very unique experience! Dinner had fantastic food and drinks, breathtaking view, and the dinner service was wonderful! The inconvenient parts for us were to purchase additional drinks/water as there’s no little shop selling beverages, the taxi transportation needs to arrange in advance, and also we were not notified prior about luggage service until my husband had already dragged two suitcases from the parking lot to the building. Our room was beautiful, with great view of the Rhine, the city of Oberwesel, and was very clean, the gardens were fun to explore, and museum was nice to visit.
