There is a restaurant, closed Monday and Tuesday, and a bistro that will be open Those days. A wonderful room with a juice and water minibar. The nicest bathroom I have ever seen and a view to put you back in time. There is a museum below in the Castle that is included in your stay along With a private garden and your own key access to the garden. Only one luggage rack in the room but we improvise. Fresh fruit and a crystal decanter of sherry waiting on the table in the sitting room. 2 glasses and chocolates. For a little while, this is our Castle and our Maserati is parked below in a safe spot. Dinner reservation in a few hours.

What a beautiful castle! This is our second time staying here. This time we stayed in room 36 and…read moreroom 34. Last time we were in room 36 and I got engaged there! Everything is amazing from the rooms to the staff to the food. Definitely recommended!

The restaurant was.... mediocre at best? The food was expensive and unfortunately not fit to my taste. The room was as I expected; small, but clean. The hotel was walking distance from most of the happenings in Bacharach. The front desk lady was kind.

We loved this hotel! It is a family run operation and that comes through in nearly every…read moreinteraction. There is hardly a front desk, so you have to find someone to get checked in. We had a great corner room 2 floors up so we had a nice view of the Rhine and the ancient city wall. This was our first stop in Germany on our first visit to the country,. The bathroom was a bit different. The shower is kind of cosy (the doors close into the corner furthest into the room and if not closed completely water gets all over the floor). Everything is tiled so it's not a problem. The room is large and comfortable. The bed is low and very firm but since we'd flown over from the US the previous night, it was perfectly comfortable to get a full night's sleep. This hotel is located at the north end of the town of Oberwesel so it is a great starting point to start walking to look at the ancient wall along the river or explore the town. We walked along the wall (it's got great walkways), up in the towers, then through town. When we returned we decided to dine in the restaurant for dinner. We were tired so close was better. As we were seated and placed our order, we noticed that all the other patrons were speaking German which is always a good sign. We didn't notice any foreign tourists (they're usually somewhat obvious). We ordered traditional German food and it was really tasty. Same for breakfast in the morning. Lots of Germans and good authentic (so I would assume) food. The family hosts were friendly and kind. The son was our server for dinner and spoke great English. The mother and (maybe) daughter took care of breakfast and spoke less well but still did a great job. We loved our visit here and would defiantly return again.

This is the best 11th C castle that I have been to in Germany. There is no awfully narrated audio…read moretour and no bored guides leading you through the passages. Its self guided so you go at your own pace. It is large and has a lot of areas including secret or dark passages that you can explore on your own. Bring a flashlight. Seriously. Though my iphone with flashlight app worked just fine. It has some new areas such as the museum but mostly this is a very well preserved ruin. Expect to spent 2-3 hours here. There is a tram from town that will take you up but its no more than a 15 min walk. We did it pulling our luggage and leaving it at the ticket booth while we explored. The kids will love this place. Oh and there is a restaurant there too in case anyone in your group would rather drink. Have fun.
