Ringhotel Schloss Hohenstein

Literally got "Schlossed" in this magnificent castle hotel. Just like in the movies a castle with pristine gardens and huge grounds. Interiors are very well maintained and modernized yet still pertaining the castle vibes with high wooden ceilings and connecting passages. Restaurant boasted sophisticated delicacies with a twist, the team was extremely welcoming and helpful in making our stay exceptional.

Magnificent. From arrival to departure My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at this unique, ancient castle turned hotel set on a hilltop in the middle of the forrest. In terms of the buildings and the rooms, it’s old-meets-new balanced just the right way. The hotel operators were hands on from the get-go and throughout and generally the staff was friendly and forthcoming. We dined at the lovely restaurant set inside the hotel, which serves dishes made mainly from local produce alongside good wines (natural wines as well, which my wife loves) as well as great non-alcoholic options. The food was delicious, the atmosphere relaxed and the chairs were comfortable while the service was immaculate. After a walk through the charming park, we slept really well in the generous rooms with comfortable beds and woke up to the sounds of birds singing in the trees outside. Breakfast was served in the stunning dining hall. No buffet, but rather a nice ensemble of fresh butter, meats and cheeses to go along with crisp pastries. We also had the option of ordering different kinda of eggs, yoghurt and some sort of pancakes. Almost overwhelming. The coffee was fresh and tasty. Various teas were also available on option. In short; great stay and highly recommend—we’ll be back soon!

Just had a lovely dinner at their restaurant. Quiet and comfortable atmosphere with attentive service. Dishes are certainly aspired to offer an experience of fine dining. So long you're not expecting a michelin star level, you'll be reasonably satisfied. One of best restaurants in the area.

This is a review of the hotel AND restaurant. Hotel first: we had a wonderful stay in this romantic and remotely located castle-hotel. The rooms come in different shapes and sizes from modest in the annex next door, to spacious and castle-like in the main building. Bathrooms are modern and spotless clean. The hotel itself is located on top of a small mountain in a forrest with a wonderfully romantic park. The location is also very quiet. Few other sounds than the birds chirping. Breakfast served at the table was of excellent quality and quantity. I probably never had such good quality bread in a hotel. The restaurant: we had a 3 course menu. Each and every dish was somehow unique or interesting in terms of composition, tastes and visuals. We were absolutely blown away. The same can be said for the wines so competently selected and served with regional Franconian as well as Austrian and other wines on the menu. Conclusion: The price for value in both hotel and restaurant was absolutely stellar. The experience was exceptional and we hope to come back for a special occasion like a wedding anniversary or just if we feel like treating ourselves to a great and memorable dinner. I think 5 stars are well deserved in every category. P.S. The team currently running hotel and restaurant apparently started in the fall of last year (2020). Older reviews might thus not properly reflect the current service.

We had a wonderful time. The staff were excellent, likewise was the food excellent. Our room was very comfortable and warm, needless to say, clean and inviting. We could find nothing to complain about. Maybe we're just easily pleased but pleased we were. Worth every penny. We enjoyed our anniversary stay here. Thank you!

If you're unfamiliar with the area, traveling at night, and don't have mapping service on your phone or car, this place can be difficult to find. We didn't see any signage coming in from the south until we were basically at the property, and took a few wrong roads before then. Once we arrived, the room was very small and at the far end of the castle. However, the friendly staff upgraded us to a very spacious room closer to the restaurant for a nominal fee. We had an enjoyable visit and parking was convenient. The main drawbacks were that room was not well heated and the restaurant service at breakfast was poor. We were charged the full cost of breakfast for just a cup of coffee for a guest and the breakfast food at the buffet was scarce when we arrived and only replenished as we were leaving.

This castle hotel was amazing...Best local castle hotel yet.. The grounds were simply the best..Christina  Romona Bianca Alexandra were the best hostesses.. Food was absolutely delicious! Great suite for family and amazing bathrooms with tub.

The ambience is great, great rooms and the cooking is outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the wine pairings with very interesting introductions by the hostess. Will stay here again.
