Guest Reviews
- JEROME (10/5): -
- Thomas (8/5): - Zwischenhalt auf Pilgerweg. Super freundliche Familienburg. Wer gerne ruhig und besinnlich übernachten möchte, vorher bei Andrea nachfragen. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass es Rambazamba hat vor lauter Burgfräuleins und Ritterknapoen. Uns hat es nicht gestört.
- Lynsay Diane (10/5): -
- Tina (8/5): - Das Ambiente ist königlich! War alles super.
- Filip (10/5): -
- Viviana Maria (10/5): -
- Sylvie (10/5): - Je voulais de l' atypique et j'en ai eu 💞
Super accueil, logement refait à neuf, et je ne parle pas du petit déj.
Le lieu aussi était magnifique et cette vue exceptionnelle !! J ai eu du mal à repartir !! Je suis arrivée de nuit et j ai vraiment eu du mal à comprendre comment arriver jusqu'à l entrée du château.
Petite approche à pied à prévoir.
- Petra (8/5): -
- Mirjam Rahel (9/5): - Super Lage und gute Aussicht aus der Burg. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert.
- Tululu (9/5): - Frühstück, einfach aber sehr köstlich, man kann draußen essen, ein Traum.
- Patchev (10/5): - I'm glad I didn't miss the opportunity to dive into a fairy tal
- Ben (10/5): Good hostel in a unique setting - The hostel was well run, located on a hill with beautiful views. I paid for dinner, which was both plentiful and tasty.
- Emir (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful atmosphere and good staff, Andrea was so kind and helpful. Clean, tidy diffirent experience value for money. Little bit far from the center but it's Okey with car without u may need to walk 20mins and stairs, you shouldn't take troller luggage and not much thing.
- Rosmarie (10/5): - Super geniale Unterkunft, kommunikation mit Andrea war schnell und reibungslos. Wir würden wieder gehen! Auf alle Fälle empfehlenswert.
- Tree33 (6/5): Castle experience - Living in a real castle
Interesting surroundings
Polite hostel staff
Clean and functional shower & toilet
Breakfast is very basic, but it fits the price
Free parking All would be ok, but I've been bitten from head to toe by mosquitos and bed bugs.
Smaller issues:
Low number of power sockets
Need to have your own padlock to secure your stuff
You need to climb a lot of stairs to reach there
- Manuela (8/5): Very good - Unique accommodation. Free Wifi and good breakfast included. New showers and toilets. It is a bit hard to get to by public transport.
- Tadeja (10/5): A dream come true! - it was just … a dream! a modest but unforgettable castle experience:)
Thomas, the castle manager, was super kind and welcoming. the facilities are practically new - but combined so carefully with the old heart of the castle.
the beds are comfortable, there are board games to choose from, and even during the colder months the heating system works great.
would recommend a thousand times!
(just keep in mind that it requires walking up some flights of stairs to reach the premises)
so grateful for this experience ❤️ I just missed more information about the castle’s history placed out in a booklet or otherwise
