Burghotel Auf Schönburg Oberwesel

Absolutely stunning. A beautiful, luxurious stay with an expansive view of the Rhine, Oberwesel and vineyards. And if the view is not enough, the rooms are so amazing. Multiple windows with beautiful views, you'll never want to leave. So worth it. The restaurant 4-course menu is so delicious and accommodating, I ended up booking dinner for the rest of my stay after the first night. The service is lovely, all the staff are attentive and speak excellent English. 5 stars all round! P.S. if you are staying here and not driving, organise a taxi (in ADVANCE) directly to the Burghotel as it is a steep climb up the hill from the train station. There are no taxis waiting in town so book it the day before you arrive.

The antiques and the history combined to make this a truly remarkable and unique experience. We enjoyed all the little touches (the map scroll, the shoehorn, the quill pen) as well as the surprise treats in the room, and the restaurant was also excellent, both for dinner and for breakfast. I have been to many five star hotels but can honestly say none compared to this. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

Wow wow wow. This is a wonderful place to stay. Fabulous views over the Rhine from some rooms and dinner on the terrace. Food at dinner was good, nice touches in room like free sherry and water. No hot drink facilities but they will give you a flask if you have your own tea/coffee. Rooms wonderfully traditional (tester or 4 poster beds) and the castle is wonderful and lovely gardens to explore too. Friendly staff.

Beautiful experience as a family of 4. Last stayed here in the same room when I was the age of my 10 year old daughter and it was just as magical. So well maintained. Just as I remembered it. Authentic and beautiful gardens to explore. Friendly staff at very welcoming. Beautiful room at the top of the castle. Day trip to Rudesheim on the boat.

I stayed with my young family of 4 for one night on our road trip down to Tuscany. What a unique experience to stay in such a wonderful castle. We loved the food especially the spaghetti. We stay in a queen room which was large and well appointed. The grounds and view are superb. Very friendly staff too. Great stay.

Lunch here was a wonderful experience. We ate overlooking the Rhine River. They had the cutest little flower pots on the tables.

Absolutely outstanding! staying in this hotel for one or a few nights provide you with an unique experience. the hotel facilities are distinct as a consequence of the design fitting to the building. The achieved harmony is notable and easily appreciated. The notable efforts to get also details correct is one of the best features of the hotel. The panorama of the rhine valley can be easily appreciated in this hotel. The staff are extremely friendly supportative and well trained. Thus I will consider to stay here again if I will have an opportunity in the future.

I stayed for five nights with my family. The experience was amazing. Although, on the hottest days of summer, it wasn't the most comfortable. But for me, the most important thing was that the staff was friendly and attentive. They have tons of staff and they always asked me if everything was ok. The atmosphere was magical. It felt like a real castle experience. Exploring the castle and the garden was exciting. The feeling of security while in the castle during a heavy storm was a fantasy come true. Their booking website is outdated and difficult to navigate. I spent a lot of time choosing the rooms. Tip: many rooms actually allow additional beds/"splitting" beds even though the option does not appear on their website. Your best bet is to email or call them. The rooms don't have AC. Surprisingly, this wasn't much of a problem for rooms 41 and 22 even though one day reached 97 F (36 C)!!! The thick stone walls provide enough insulation so the rooms stay cool. However, we spent one night in room 11 (main building) and it was uncomfortable. Almost unbearable. If visiting during the peak of summer I would recommend not booking rooms in the main building or the top floors. The rooms with the best views in my opinion are 22, 23 (terrifyingly high), 33, and 36. Rooms 41 to 44 also probably get good views but maybe limited space for two people to enjoy the view. 33 probably has the best views. Food was pretty good. The set dinner menus may be worth the 40 euro for staying guests. I wouldn't pay the full 85 euro. There's plenty of other restaurants in the area. I wished they changed up the breakfast options. It was the same items for all five mornings.
