Schloss Arenfels

Extremely run down place. Doors broken on bottom edges. Just a shower gel in the bathroom. No shampoo or conditioner. Bedding was inferior with limp pillows. Coffee was a skinny packet of instant coffee.

Nothing like a room in a schloss with no staff on site and no amenities to speak of. Cheap elements in the renovation really brought down the room from the cheap plastic floor already peeling up to the pieces falling off the very narrow bathtub. It was an experience, but I’m not sure if I would recommend it for anybody other than wedding parties. The town lacked anything of interest so this definitely isn’t a tourist destination.

6 star experience. Wow wow wow. We were greeted by Michael, the former mayor of the region, who gave us a behind the scenes tour of this majestic property, complete with views into the Harry Potter themed rooms and historical knowledge of the castle. All staff were super attentive and our room was literally fit for royalty. We went for an early morning hike through the onsite vineyards followed by a champion breakfast served in the courtyard. The castle is an absolute gem and we didn’t realize that it can host conventions, weddings, business retreats and more. These great people and their property deserve your business.

Beautiful and historic castle. Big and comfortable rooms. Very helpful staff and a nice breakfast. Recommend.

We had grandchildren and stayed in a castle with an amazing view of the Reine. Rooms were large and didn’t disappoint.
