I think the title says it all, we stayed here for one night as part of a european motorcycling holiday last month. We had spent the day travelling through the forests of Germany to the castle as this was the icing on the cake.

The standard of the room in the turret was out of this world and ticked all of the boxes. We did have some heavy luggage and there were no stairs up to the room but someone helped us with that without question.

The views from the room across the valley and the ruins were amazing and you could wander around freely and spend as much time in the castle.

The evening meal was fantastic with a great menu which promised so much and didn't fail to have our tastebuds overflowing. The staff were attentive and very friendly and as someone else has mentioned the turn down service offered a small surprise.

This was probably one of the best holiday highlights I've ever had and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone and will definitely be visiting again in the future.

We have been on a major trip throughout Germany and this was a real highlight. Our room in the tower was lovely, with light rose touches throughout. A special surprise arrived with the turndown at night. Be aware that tower rooms have no lift. We had light luggage, so no problem. They are also under construction, so things may not be perfect, but we were very happy. Dinner was so memorable, again with light touches of roses throughout. The staff were lovely, and elegant, but casual. Highly recommend.

We traveled up to the castle for New Year's Eve stay with our 2 girls. The dining for that weekend was unparalleled - superb! Fresh venison, fresh trout, fresh everything! Have rarely eaten at a finer gourmet restaurant! Local wines of course went with the meal. We had 2 adjacent rooms because we had small children (3 and 9) - a room to accomodate us all would've been the only improvement. With 1-2 feet of snow on the ground, it was a wonderful adventure walking through the wild game park nearby and making snow angels near the sloping cobblestone drive up to the castle. I still have some of the Rosentee - mmm! The rose jellies and other rose cuisine was amazing! And of course we got the beautifully illustrated Grimms' Fairy Tales book (in German) to take home. An amazing stay - wonderfully warm staff, kid friendly, great food, fantastic rooms, and idyllic setting. If the roses had been blooming it would've been perfect, but that's hard to do in the middle of winter! A trip the girls and I will remember forever!

Anyone who down-rates this family-run operation is a curmudgeon and an ignorant one! I have stayed here often and lived just around the hill for three years. The local folk come here to marry if they want a special memory -- otherwise they pop a cork at a local city hall (Rathaus). Nearby is Hann Munden and Hofgeismar; two of the most representative small towns to be found in this region near the Fulda River. The history of the region cannot be learned in a day or two, but it is well worth the study, however long it takes. So many great personalities and events occurred nearby, Willie Brand and Willie Stoldt meeting for the first time, it would be a shame to miss-understand any of them. Kassel is a smallish city with a great heritage and wonderful pride-of-place with many immigrants from further east during and after WWIIwho stayed. They welcomed us, one and all, and we will love them forever for their hospitality and their honest character. Let me close with this --if you can find a meal more elegant, prepared with finer attention to detail, with any greater love or devotion or singleness of purpose, of higher quality or with finer ingredients than can be had from the adjacent Tier Park, find me and I will pay you the full price doubled! This is the finest hostelry and restaurant in all of Europe and I have lived throughout the region and in many countries and I know whereof I speak.
