I stayed here during a recent trip to Seiffen. I was so excited to get to sleep in a castle, but the reality sadly did not meet expectations! When I pulled into the parking lot, the place looked absolutely magical. It really is a beautiful property. The staff when I checked in could not have been more welcoming, but after that things went downhill. I don’t think the property was full (based on the number of cars in the parking lot) but I was put into an outbuilding not connected to the castle. My room was extremely disappointing – bare bones is an understatement. It had a twin bed, an old chest and a small table and chair in the room, and that was really it. The bathroom was actually nicer than the hotel room! I had had a long day and was very tired so I slept well, but the accommodations look NOTHING at all like anything I had seen on the website. This was really disappointing. And a sidenote – although the area is lovely, if you’re traveling to Seiffen, you may be better suited in going onto your next location and not spending the night in the area. Pretty much everything in Seiffen closes at 5:00, and even the grocery stores closed at 7:00. In the winter it gets dark there around 4:30, so there’s really nothing to do in the evenings. If you want to get a jump on your next day, you may be better suited to go ahead and go. Again, this really was a lovely property and I wish I could’ve explored more outside but there was a lot of snow on the ground and I was ready to move on to my next location – but with nothing really going on in the evenings around there and the subpar accommodations I had, you may want to look elsewhere.

The castle beautiful and the rooms that my family stayed in were nicely remodeled. One of them did not have a window that opened which was a little warm for sleeping. The restaurant was accommodating and staff kind.
