I had a wonderful stay here! The staff were very kind and accommodating. I stayed in the single economy room which was perfect for one solo traveler. Nice castle! Good location if you are exploring Franconia on bike or foot as there are trails throughout the countryside that go through various towns. Nice breakfast here that is free with coffee too!

It is a real castle that you stay like in middle age but with modern comfort e.g. villeroy & boch dinning wears, heated towel bar ... The restaurant and rooms have good view. The breakfast are excellent. They pay a lot of attention to details, even to the boiled eggs - 5 minutes and keep them warm in a blanket wrapped basket. Extraordinary experience.

A very picturesque and interesting hotel. Even has a deer herd living on the surrounding land. The single rooms were not very big, but adequate. The restaurant was closed at the time, had been closed for the summer, but was reopening in a few days. There was a very good Gasthof just down the road, easy walking distance, with other choices in town.

Romantic Lady of the Manor opportunity

Amazing, atmospheric place. Beautifully laid out to keep the feel of a fortified manor.

My only disappointment was the bed. My room had two singles pushed together, which is fairly normal in Germany. However these were two narrow wooden beds, with the frames higher than the mattress. Whilst the style was in keeping with the room, the actual sleeping space was limited, and I kept kicking the frame during the night. Mattress was comfortable though.

Great value, if you want to experience living in the old castle. Mysterious outside and inside, castle itself is kept very well. Bathroom in our room was a bit outdated. A bit noisy - probably thin walls between rooms. Dinner was good but overpriced, there is opportunity to stage it more upscale, especially service. A very high turnover of guests, so low attention from management. Overall great experience for the price that we paid.

The property is magnificent. Old world charm, in fact a genuine aged castle and in fabulous order. The room was very well presented and the bathroom was modern and clean and contained a spa bath. Strangely the shower was a hose type and was fitted to about knee height! It seems it was intended to be used only while seated in the bath. Not very practical for those of us who prefer a shower. The dining rooms were very atmospheric ( lovely antique fittings and decoration) and the outdoor dining areas were wonderful on a hot evening.

There is are no late night parties or loud music, just a quite countryside castle experience ready to give you a good nights sleep and prepare you for the next business day. If you don’t mind a short drive in to the country Berg Colmberg may be the place for you.
Rooms are a bit small and the dining room was closed during my visit but I will return. Thanks Burg Colmberg.

Castle Stay was OK but not great to be remembered

The castle was beautiful and the room we stayed in was pretty much modern. One should make time to go around the inside and outside of the castle. There are nice antique things and a beautiful chapel. It was much like a museum. The service was good and the breakfast was wonderful. The downside is, the room was too small and there were no amenities like lotions and others that would pamper a guest, considering that you're staying in a castle. Location was fine, not too far from Rothenburg ob de Tauber.
