A beautiful old castle with tastefully decorated rooms The bathroom was spectacular!

Late check in with no flexibility

Die Burg ist sehr abgelegen und hat eine phantastische Aussicht. Die Zimmmer sind wunderschön gestaltet, die gesamte Burg ist ein tolles Museum, das man auch noch als Hotel benutzen kann. Das Kaminzimmer wurde aufgrund der kalten Witterung mit riesigen Holzscheiten in dem riesigen Kamin beheizt. Man fühlt sich fast selbst als Burgfrau, besonders bei dem aufmerksamen Service wo eine kleine Brotzeit zum Abend in eine Schlemmerei ausartet.

Loved the historical state of the building . It was very well preserved and presented. Location fabulous. Walks around great. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Nothing really

Unique location in a beautiful castle. The room was large and the breakfast delicious. The beer garden just outside is also fun. Very kind and helpful staff

The Wi-Fi could be a little better and easier to use

location, property, activities

staff is rude. lack of staff. no communication. We had breakfast for dinner because the chef didn’t want to serve us the menu. no flexible solutions, staff likes to go into discussions

Me and my son made a tour around Fränkische Alp to look at castles and other historical landmarks. We also stayed in some of the castles. We were focusing especially on castles with a more "medieval" appearance rather than later palaces. Burg Rabenstein is really a dream castle if one likes these things. It has very spectacular looks on top of a cliff. It has amazing interiors that make you feel like moved in time. In addition to this there is also possible to eat quite high-end food for a reasonable price level in the castle restaurant. And the list of wine and spirits was very complete, and sitting there sipping on a good whiskey in a leather chair after the dinner was very relaxing. My teenage son was by then spending the time in the huge bathtub of our room. Altogether it really felt as we were some royalty in the past. The breakfast was also great, and the location is perfect for hiking in the surroundings. Only a few hundred meters away is an amazing cave with beautiful rock formations and remains of cave bears.

There is nothing to complain about, really. As said, it is a fabulous place. The parking is a couple of hundred meters away, but it is understandable as parked cars would really destroy the view of the castle. One can drive closer to leave and pick up luggage, so not really a problem. But, OK, one thing I would like to complain about is that several of the castles we visited on this trip, this one included, are becoming overgrown by thick vegetation, from high grass to trees. This obscures the views both to and from the castles, as well as does not give an impression of the sites being well kept.

Nice, large room with large bathroom.

The castle has very little "curb appeal" as the entrance is a door across a stone walkway. The picturesque photos in the listing are from a different angle (the backside of the castle), which is largely inaccessible by foot, so don't expect a good photo opp. The front desk person didn't explain to us how the wi-fi works when we checked in. She gave us a little folded paper with a welcome message, but it was all in German, and she didn't mention that the wi-fi login instructions were printed inside. Unlike most hotels, you have to open a browser window and type in an IP address. Then you had to enter a specific code (one per device) that was printed on the folded paper. Also, she didn't mention that there was an elevator, so we carried our luggage up several flights of stairs when we checked in. Most of the staff is off on Mondays, so the restaurant is closed. The front desk person recommended a restaurant in a town a few km away, but they had a very limited menu.

This was the highlight of our trip. It was fabulous!!

We had to get two rooms, since there were 4 of us. Would have been nice to get 4 in one room to save money.
