호텔 부르크 라이헨슈타인(Burg Reichenstein)

If you are looking at a cool castle to stay on the Rhein, although this is a cool castle, for the same price I have to recommend Schloss Rheinfels. This is because for the same price they have larger rooms, steam room, saunas, a pool, and an elevator. The food is great for the breakfast and afternoon tea. This was the good part. I felt the front desk seemed annoyed when I asked if I can get extra pillows. As well, I asked 8f there were a larger room available and they also seemed annoyed at that. The front desk did not give me a warm feeling. The room was quite small. It advertised a range of room sizes for the option I selected and the size I got was in that range, but the room size and configuration with the bathroom being part of the main room felt cramped. The desk was small and the stool was uncomfortable. Considering the price and considering it was the same price as Scloss Rheinfels, I don’t feel I got value for the price and this is my main complaint. The castle and being allowed to go to the castle freely was really cool.

Besides the obvious beauty, great amenities, included afternoon tea and breakfast made this stay a delight

The room had a lovely claw foot tub and the room was quite spaxiohs qith comfy robes available.

Really unique place to stay. You also have an option to go around the museum property during the night which gives you really cool views

Having access to the Castle to walk around the grounds was great, we were able to go at our own pace and fully enjoy the beauty of the Grounds and the spectacular views. The areas for special occasions and events makes this place special. People seeking a private place for a wedding or function should really consider this place.

A beautifully maintained castle on the Rhine River, the Burg Reichenstein has a fantastic museum you can walk through on your own, complete with a working bowling, alley and even a costume room where you can dress up in medieval garb. The adjoining hotel is wonderful and makes for a perfect wedding venue. The staff here is absolutely incredible and makes the overall experience five-star.

We are a family of 4 with 2 kids aged 17 and 21. We hadn’t originally planned to visit Reichenstein because Rick Steves doesn’t feature it in his book, but the KD boat tour recommended it, so we decided to try it. It was well worth seeing—and eating. You can drive to the entrance and park (no long, steep climb unless parking is full). They provide a self-guided audio tour in English and German. The audio guide is detailed and informative. It has a dramatic element with voices representing past family members discussing the history of the rooms, which can feel a bit over the top but probably makes it more interesting, especially for younger visitors. We took 2 hours to see the entire castle because there’s so much outside and inside—you can even climb up to the battlements for a view of the Rhine. The castle is well restored and presented. It’s preserved as it was in the early 20th C. You get a sense of the family members, their history, and the way a significant, industrial family would have lived at the time. Besides Burg Eltz, it was our favorite castle experience. They have an excellent gourmet restaurant on site that serves both lunch and dinner. Part of the estate is a hotel, but we did not see the accommodations.

Amazing place. The staff were exceptional and service was second to none. I would have loved to stay longer and will definately be back. Very highly recommended.

Beautiful hotel in great location. Friendly and welcoming.
