An absolutely fantastic stay in this wonderful castle. Everything about it was perfect. The service was excellent, the food delicious and the gardens are a great way to spend a few hours. The museum was really interesting and we spent hours on the balcony watching the ships and trains passing along the Rhine valley.

There were few restaurants and food liquor shops open near my hotel in staying. But it was a great pleasure to join the Rhine River cruse course.

It was absolutely magical! The staff at check-in were amazing and gave us a wonderful tour while taking us up to our bedroom. Our room was amazing, spacious and very comfortable. We were sad to only stay one night, but definitely plan a return in seeing at least a couple or more the next time we’re in town. Everything was absolutely exquisite.

Amazong location
Amazing location and excellent staff. The room is looking lovely and the bed is comfortable. However, there are a lot of fruit flies (probably from the platter of apples) which makes the stay annoying as you’re always having to swap flies away! We advised the front desk and they came and sprayed something in the room which improved the situation.
The food at the restaurant was delicious and the wait staff were amazing! I would strongly recommend this place.

Beautiful Castle & Gardens, well worth a stay
The hotel was clean and comfortable and exceeded all of my expectations. It felt genuine rather than gimmicky with a lot of attention being put into the rooms and every experience.
The staff were friendly and accommodating.
The room was much larger than expected and well appointed the bed was comfortable. The restaurant served good quality and tasty meals which changed nightly to give a good variety.
Transport within Oberwesel is a little limited so if you are arriving by train i strongly suggest arranging a taxi in advance.
I can not recommend this hotel enough. We had a wonderful 3 night stay and would gladly return!

How can I put words on THE most incredible stay of our lives? This Castle has it all. We stayed in the double tower romantic room 23 and it was amazing. The view was breathtaking, the service was unmatched. We arrived at almost 11pm at night because of road and weather delays and they were kind enough to let us in. Nothing was overlooked when staying in this place. If you can stay two nights, do so, or get there right at check in. The museum is free to guests and there is an incredible garden (that we didn’t have time to see because we were SO late getting in from constant rain on the road) the bedroom design really made you feel you were back in time, but with electricity and an amazing bathtub.
Bubble bath, shampoo & soap were all there, plus drinks. The breakfast was unmatched. Plenty of photo opportunities and everywhere you look you see a historical presence perfected. Can not thank the hotel staff enough for the evening, only regret is getting there late. For those with access needs you can only take the elevator so far up, the tower has steep stairs and so does the museum** make sure to communicate with them if you require a room that doesn’t have stairs speak with staff before booking.
Food: breakfast was stunning, you will not go hungry a buffet full of options and a staff that is traditionally dressed, kind and helpful.

Worth every penny
We LOVED staying at the Schoenburg castle. We visited with our 10 month old baby and rather than feel like an inconvenience for having a small baby, we were treated with such kindness. Every single member of the staff was so accommodating and helpful. Our room was out of a fairytale. The food bother dinner and breakfast were extraordinary. Such delicious options and some of the best food we had during our time in Germany. The grounds were so beautiful and we had the whole garden to ourselves. We just absolutely loved our stay here and hope to come back.

A stay at Burghotel auf Schönburg feels like stepping into another century. The location is simply unbeatable: a real medieval castle perched high above Oberwesel with breathtaking views over the Rhine valley and the UNESCO-listed Middle Rhine. The Secret Garden is one of the most beautiful hotel gardens we have ever seen, perfect for a quiet moment with a glass of wine before dinner.
The rooms are full of character, the staff is warm and attentive without being intrusive, and the breakfast is excellent. Walking on the castle walls in the morning with mist still over the river is an experience we will not forget.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, atmospheric stay in the Rhine valley. We will be back.
