I can't say anything about the rooms or service offered there, but the place itself - and I just went for a walk around the place - made a great impression on me.

Awesome hotel staff. We are taking a big group of kids there this summer and they were quick to help us with a few issues that came up. Looking forward to a great stay with everyone at the castle :)!

Very nice accommodation in a private room with private bathroom. Well prepared food as well. Wifi only available in public areas but at least available. What makes this place special is of course the environment.  …

On our cycling/family holiday we stayed in many jugendherbergers. This was one ofthe best. The rooms are typical hostel rooms with bunk beds but very clean. The building is a beautiful old castle. …
