Lovely well maintained historic castle from the 13th century. Origin of the fairy tale Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm. 22 individually designed rooms romantic, with antique furniture. In the main building with four-poster beds. In the fairy tale Rapunzel tower haunted room. All rooms with Wi-Fi and modern bathrooms. 4. In the tower there is the extraordinary spa with Massagekemenate and unique castle-tower-organic sauna. New since 2014, the salt house "princess mouse skin" with 2 tons of pure low salt from the Gottingen saline. Magical Castle restaurant overlooking terrace and enchanting courtyard with over 350 years old chestnut. The "RAPUNZEL TOWER" with more than 40 meters height is worth a visit. With Dungeon Museum and silhouettes of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, created by artist Albert Volkl, he inspires young and old alike.
Our family of four stayed one night at the castle. It was magical! The suite was spacious, the service was fantastic and our dinner at the restaurant was delicious. The views from our room were gorgeous and having drinks out on the terrace was perfect. I can't say enough about this wonderful hotel! Thank you for making our stay special.

We stayed here for three nights in the Montgolfier room on the third floor. We are good walkers/climbers and do not mind many floors of stairs, but the website should state that the accommodation is not for people with mobility handicap. The lift is only for luggage. The reception was very friendly, and indicated us that there were many nice walks in the neighborhood, but without any detailed information, except for referring to a website. No maps or so available. We got that only at 11:00 hrs at the tourist information in town. Surprisingly the Villaroy and Boch experience center was closed already for a long time, but nothing was mentioned on their website. We looked forward to have a chateau-dinner, but dinner was only served Friday and Saturday, an information not available on the website. With the Corona measurements and winter season dinner facilities outside were very poor (pizza or Chinese). Hotel information on restaurants was scarce. The room itself was nicely decorated, but the timber floor was extremely cracking in several locations. Also a nail was slightly sticking out, no damage done. Queen size bed and only a single supply of shampoo-shower gel for three nights. The Friday dinner was very nice and the wine excellent. Breakfast was good with very decorative Villaroy and Boch porcelain.

We splurged on a Tower Room in Schnellenberg, and it was indeed rather fine. A large suite with a handsome carved ceiling and a splendidly regal bathroom, extensive views in all directions (yes, even from the bathroom), and with its own spiral staircase. Comfortable, elegant, too, but I suppose to get the full “Lord of the Manor” effect one should have had a small army of servants and valets and lady’s maids coming and going. Dinner in the restaurant was a bit curate’s eggish: the “Müllerin Art” trout was rather muddy - more like bream, really - but my venison goulash passed muster, and the tuna carpaccio starter was a fine dish. Decent wine, though a bit pricey to my way of thinking. Service was attentive. The à la carte restaurant itself is a very imposing affair, albeit with cosy corners. Breakfast was excellent, in a different and equally impressive room with large panorama windows. The whole overnight experience was very pleasant, without being utterly jaw-dropping or earth-shattering, and I was somewhat surprised to see in an establishment of this calibre that no complimentary bottles of water were provided in the room – I think this was the ONLY hotel in a two-week sojourn in Germany that failed this test, and this was comfortably the most expensive stay we had. The hotel is popular with wedding parties, particularly on Fridays, when the on-site chapel is in heavy use. There’s nothing wrong with this, of course, but one might feel a bit like an uninvited guest. There are great walks to be had in the vicinity and a generally relaxed vibe among the staff to soften the otherwise slightly “over the top” feel of the place. Convenient parking, but still a fair bit of carrying to be done – castle turrets don’t usually come with lifts! Recommended, but really only as a “one-off” thing.

The schloss is fantastic, in front of a lake, with beautiful architecture and nicely renovated. Inside works of art and grandious atmosphere. But the rooms are needlessly bare and austere, the bathroom seems that of an hospital, decorations scarce and bad lighting. A bit more style might have done justice of the prestigious outside. Also the during time we were here there was a really terrible smell from the fields around. The restaurant serves fine food but that also could be improved.

Beautiful hotel, full of character. Room was nice, but bathroom a bit small, especially the shower stall. The view was beautiful. Had dinner here, venison stew. What a huge amount of food, I could barely eat half. Staff were all very good, the waitresses were polite but not overly friendly though.

This isn't your typical hilltop castle. Driving in to Neufahrn it isn't visible until you reach the turn. A very pleasant surprise. Well maintained grounds, beautiful courtyard and welcoming staff. Conscience of covid guidelines. Our room felt like an original castle from the past with all the modern conveniences including a minibar. Many activities and festivals throughout the year.

Due to certain very critical reviews, we arrived with mixed feelings. At check-in we were positively surprised for the first time: extremely friendly and professional. Unfortunately, we did not get a room with a lake view; but we were satisfied with the room we had - viewing an old pear tree on a very quiet courtyard. Obviously, a room in a building with 2-metre-thick old stone walls is not as bright as one in a modern steel/glass building, but our room was large enough, nicely renovated and functionally furnished. From the room into Lake Constance in less than two minutes: for us that was great, and we even went swimming in pouring rain on the day of our departure. The breakfast was certainly not like in a 5-star hotel we are used to when travelling to big cities, but the selection and quality was perfectly okay. Filter coffee is available from the service, cappuccino and espresso from a very well working machine at the buffet. Why anyone can have a problem with this is beyond my understanding. While some young staff members do not have the professional experience I expect and get at a Park Hyatt, this is nothing to complain about. The hotel is rated at 3* and does not pretend to be anything else. I have been in 4* properties with much lower overall quality. We were completely satisfied and will certainly come back.

Schloss & Gut Liebenberg is as well a first-class hotel in Brandenburg, as part of a dedicated integration operation, the DKB Stiftung Liebenberg gGmbH. A meeting place for people interested in culture as well as a hotbed of social and environmental responsibility .
My family and I wanted to have a nice dinner in a nice environment. The Schloss is very well kept and is in a perfect location. I was looking forward to some great German dishes and expected a dining room with "castle atmosphere". However the dining room resembled more a First Class railway dining room with excessive bright light: no atmosphere at all. The food was good and the service friendly but my German host said he would never go back there again.

We stayed two nights which is renovated to the highest standards with exceptional interior design and top class finishes. Character design with modern 5 star luxury design inside the structure of an old great house with exposed wooden beams. It is a cosy comfortable place with only a small number of rooms and very personal service. The staff are particularly friendly and professional. Breakfasts (including eggs and bacon made to order) were excellent. We had dinners in the nearby associated Betzenstube restaurant which is equally excellent. Betzenstein was our base for visits to Bayreuth and Nuremberg. It is a pleasant, quiet, "off the beaten track" village/town, only a few km off the Nuremberg-Bayreuth autobahn.
