Unbelievably good stay. Arriving after the castle was closed, and opening up the big gates to let ourselves in was spectacular, as were the views out from the balcony, facing straight out to the glorious sunset. Magical.

Unique Stay

What a wonderful opportunity to stay in a castle! The apartment was comfortable for our family of 8. It was so neat to be able to walk around like we own the place. Everything was as described in the ad and it was easy to communicate with the managers. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!

Amazing!!

The apartment was perfect for our family of 7. Responsive host. Beautiful balcony, which alone is worth the price of admission! Castle was so fun to explore and it was great to be able to enjoy it after hours. I wish we could have stayed longer!! We hope to come back someday.

Amazing!

When I booked this stay, I thought it sounded like a cool experience, but it is so much better than I even expected. After the doors close, you basically have private access to the castle. The views are amazing and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We loved it!

Wow!

What a fantastic place all of my guests were overwhelmed with the beauty and amenities at the castle apartment. The description of the washer and dryer usage could’ve been slightly more clear, but was made available.. Thank you so much to the property, managers, the owners and the community we would love to come back

Unique visit but hard to get into the rooms

Unique place to stay and the castle itself did not disappoint. But although we were able to use the checkin instructions to find the key to enter the entrance and building, we were unable to easily enter the actual building we were to stay in. No one greeted us. The place was completely empty. So remained outside our apartment without the ability to connect with the owners by email or phone. Our phones had little to no reception up on the hill and it was frustrating that so much time was spent just trying to get inside. After finally getting a return call much later from the caretakers/owners we learned that the trick to the door to get inside is to pull the doorknob towards you while turning the key. This is not obvious and very tricky. This extra information should have been put in the check-in instructions. Print out the instructions before arriving so you don’t need to rely on your phone/email to get inside. It was a bit cold and there isn’t much heat in the place so bring warmer clothes to make your sleep more comfortable. The place is not lit very well outside so bring a flashlight if you go outside. Beds were not comfortable but were clean. Only smaller autos can easily enter through the lovely wooden castle doors. Pull in your mirrors if you have a larger van like us. Would we stay again? Yes, absolutely. How often can you stay in the fortress of an abandoned castle? But I would plan better in advance to have a more enjoyable time.

Super Lage, Renovierungsbedürftig

Die Lage ist super, man über die ganze Rheineben schauen. Auf der Terrasse ist der Lärm der Straßen zu hören, es ist gerade noch okay. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen. Aber der Preis ist eindeutig zu hoch, denn: Im Bad ist an den Silikon fugen etwas Schimmel. Im Wohnzimmer ist das Sofa durchgesessen. Im Essensbereich ist die Wand voller Spritzer oder Macken. Steckdosenabdeckungen sind unschön und zum Teil defekt. Kaffeemaschine mussten wir erstmal gründlich reinigen, war grenzwertig.

Wir hatten einen fantastischen Aufenthalt auf der Burg mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht auf den Herbstwald und einer beeindruckenden Halloween-Feuershow. Vielen Dank für diese schöne Unterkunft!
