we stayed there for one night only, but were really impressed with the room and want to come back for more. the room is very comfortable in the Marstall building and is very well appointed, missing a bit the "Schloss" atmosphere, but generally a great room with a breathtaking view over the small town and river. The cuisine offered is... More

A long tripfrom Brussels to Friedishafen to see the Zeppelin Museum....and 5 days to do it ,,,it needs a careful preparation. We decided to sleep in a German castle, then in the SEE Hotel in Friedichshafen (another good experience, with views to the Lake Constance), going to Switzerland (Basel, hotel Spalentor) and finally in the Central Plaza in Trier. Well,... More

Hirschhorn is not the place to go if you are expecting a real castle/medieval experience. What you get is a modern hotel built in castle ruins with a great view and rude staff. True, breakfast is great but the whole feel of a real castle is not there as the rooms are very modern without the hint of being in... More

Stayed nights of 10 & 11 Aug in Room 8, overlooking the terrace and Neckar River. Nice breakfast, Great restaurant with excellent venison, excellent service. Nature trails just outside the walls. Beautiful views, nice paths to town, passing a Cloister Church along the way. S-Bahn with frequent transport to Heidelberg is available in town. Great tapas bar (Buena Vista) in... More

Our family of 5 stayed in two lovely rooms in the main castle building. Both rooms were spacious and had a nice view of the river. It was cool to climb the tower when it was "just us" with no guides or other tourists around. Our experience with the restaurant was not as good as some have reported. They were... More

Real Castle stays are hard to find. Although many look "castle like" from the outside, the interiors are19th and 20th century re-dos appearing like many other hotel rooms. Although hardly as "rock and tapestry" as Borthwick in Scotland, Hirschhorn delivers with a friendly staff, great food and stunning views that won't break the bank. We were in the main castle...

The castle grounds offers guest rooms in the main building and some surrounding ones. Those who avoid hills and stairs should know that both are prevalent here, but they are not overwhelming, and they certainly add to the romance and charm. The staff are gracious, tolerant, and extremely helpful -- clearly they are very well trained and supervised. The rooms... More

We have visited this location twice and both times we were very pleased with this castle hotel! The views from the rooms are magnificent! They have a wonderful (but expensive) restaurant! I think it was the best meal of our entire vacation both times! More

My wife and I stayed here in March on a European road trip. We had a bit of a time finding the hotel, because the ViaMichelin directions don't adequately express just how far you go on the last stretch of road once you get off the highway in Heidelberg. We were late arriving and the kitchen was closed. I was... More
