Very beautiful location in astonishing condition. The room was a bit tiny but that’s not a problem. We were missing some stylish decor, the room seemed more like convent than castle. The black stains in the shower were a bit disappointing. The internet connection was great, nothing to complain about. The breakfast was almost complete, but some more personal attention would have been nice instead of leaving the guests on their own. In total this was a nice place, but I would prefer, even to pay a little bit more to get the little extra in comfort and style, like minibar, water kettle for coffee or tea.

Charmant et pratique pour le festival de Bayreuth

Très pratique quand on est au festival de Bayreuth. Le château a été entièrement rénové pour accueillir des congrès et il Ne reste à l intérieur rien du charme extérieur. Si l on ala chance d être dans les chambres du 1er étage haute sous plafond elles sont charmantes avec de grandes salles de bain. Le petit déjeuner à l allemande est très varié

Koselig slott

Vi valgte å overnatte på dette stedet på vei nedover i Europa. Fine, nyoppussede rom, god frokost og hyggelig staff. En restaurant/kro rett rundt hjørnet for slottet med nydelig mat. Vi valgte derfor å overnatte her på hjemturen også :)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Heruntergekommen

Das Zimmer war okay, das Bad unterirdisch. Die Duschkabine fiel fast auseinander. Alles uralt und verdreckt.4 Sterne? Niemals! Auch der Rezeptionsbereich müsste mal gründlich geputzt werden. Mit einem völlig verstaubten Telefon muss man jemanden rufen. Die Dame war sehr nett, musste aber offensichtlich alles alleine machen und hatte deshalb sehr gut zu tun. Bewirtung gibt es keine, auch wenn auf der Homepage steht, dass das Restaurant geöffnet hat. Gilt aber nur für Hochzeiten etc. Das Frühstücksbuffet hingegen ist gut. Der Schlosshof ist wunderschön, sehr schade, dass das Hotel nicht gepflegt wird.

Diesmal gibt es eine mittlere Note im Gesamtbild. Bei meiner Dusche konnte die Duschtüre nicht ganz geschlossen werden. Die Abdeckung der Wasserarmaturen fiel fast von der Wand. Im Ganzen gehört hier der Duschbereich renoviert. Sonst ist es eine schöne Anlage mit vielen Essensmöglichkeiten.

Schöne Burg in toller Lage

Die Burg ist toll! Wer so etwas mag, muss dort schlafen. Allerdings gibt es dann auch die zu erwartenden Einschränkungen. Kein Fahrstuhl, holprig Wege, auch ein wenig länger. Das Bad sollte gemacht werden, TV mit Empfang ebenfalls. Das Bett war prima, allerdings stört der Leuchter über dem Kopfkissen. Das Frühstück war sehr ordentlich, insgesamt kann ich allen Freunden Alter Mauern ein Empfehlung aussprechen!

It’s a hotel. We arrived on time on 12/30 (about 5:30pm). Nobody was at the front desk. Nobody-not a clerk, not a bell service person, nobody. Finally the chef in the kitchen came out after repeatedly calling on the desk phone for service. The room had no towels, no water, no soap. Back to the front desk we went...they changed the room. The new room had no heat. This is the day before New Year’s Eve...we wanted dinner in their fine restaurant. The restaurant was closed because the cook staff was preparing for New Year’s Eve day. Closed. No room in the oven for our dinner...and the 4 local restaurants were closed except for an Italian restaurant. We didn’t want Italian food. Back to the front desk...nobody there...called again on the desk phone. Somebody answered...They then said that we could drive to the nearest town (15 kilometer) where there are plenty of restaurants but gave us no names, no directions...nothing. Wonderful. Outrageous! If you choose to go here-don’t...the non service will ruin your stay even though the small town of Thurnau and the castle are picturesque and beautiful It’s a hotel.
