This castle has big rooms, outstanding views and is comfortable. The restaurant was fabulous with a wide variety of options. We had both lunch and dinner and both were exceptional meals and we all ordered different items.  …

We booked one night in this castle hotel during a trip through Germany with our two daughters. This is an old Burg from the 1200's so it is not the refined ornate castle of Disney stories.  …

There are few castle hotels that co closely fit the archetype as does Schloss Saaleck. Position high on a hill, overlooking a wide river valley, it can be seen for miles away.  …

During a Business Trip to Hammelburg, I stayed for 2 nights at the Schloss Saaleck Hotel, which basically is a castle on top of a hill, with an amazing overview of valley. …
