great experience

A lovely and recommended place. it was a great experience. We enjoyed walking around the corridors of the castle and discovering the special rooms with weapons and armor. We took part in a tour "Sophie's Cave" - we really enjoyed it, but the downside is that the tour is in German, altow you can try to get an explanation from the guides separately. After the tour we attended a wonderful dinner at the castle.

Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was fine. the room was comfortable. Parking is easy but a bit of a walk and the signs to the hotel could be improved. I found it confusing to find the entrance during a heavy downpour. But the hotel met my needs very nicely and I do commend the staff who are wonderful.

If you are staying on property you drive down to the gate. Buzz the front desk and they will let you through to unload your bags. You will then park above the gate in the parking lot. We drove into town to eat dinner and pick up a couple of bottles of wine. Rooms were huge, clean, well kept.

The property is amazing and the room was very comfortable. English is spoken but we had a miscommunication with the staff (not quite enough detail) about the location of the on-site concert, which led to us missing about half of it before we finally found it. Dinner in the hotel restaurant was good but very drawn out. After three hours, our 11-year-old was pretty antsy. Breakfast was good.

The castle is fantastic and the rooms are too. Be very careful with pricing. The manager clearly rips people off. Pay double for your food, be lied to about a "free" tour and the excuse will be, "oh it's an issue with Wotif and language dirrerences. I'll need to sort that." And be aware you may be charged for your room twice. We were. Don't trust them.

We decided to stay at Burg Rabenstein for one evening in a trip around Germany, and it was well worth the stop. The castle and its grounds were beautiful. There is a local cave and falconry on-site; however, they were both closed for the winter (we visited in December). Even so, we were able to take advantage of the local hiking trails around the castle, which we thoroughly enjoyed. A free tour of the castle is included with your reservation booking, which was informative and enjoyable. The tour is in German. Hotel staff were incredibly welcoming and made our visit very enjoyable. The room was very large, clean, and offered a huge soaking tub. The room was a bit noisy - you could hear everything in the hallways and rooms above/below. However, that wouldn't deter us from visiting again. Breakfast was free and included a nice spread of meats, cheeses, granola, yogurt, various coffees, and eggs made to order. There was a dinner murder-mystery performance the night we stayed; however, it was already booked up. The concierge suggested two local restaurants, one of which was right down the road and had amazing food. Overall, we loved our visit and look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Germany.

Das Zimmer war einfach klasse. Ein richtiges Erlebnis. Das Frühstück war reichlich und es gab eine tolle Auswahl, das Personal war super freundlich und ich kann die Burgführung (die für Hotelgäste kostenlos ist gegen Voranmeldung) sehr empfehlen. In der Umgebung gibt es die Falknerei, die definitiv auch einen Besuch wert ist und die Schlossschenke hatte auch sehr leckere Sachen im Angebot, wobei hier die Öffnungszeiten beachtet werden sollten, wenn man Abends dort essen möchte. Der Parkplatz ist ein kleines Stück vom Hotel entfernt, man kann aber auch vorfahren, wobei wir das kurze Stück gut zu Fuß gehen konnten. Man sollte lediglich beachten, dass es im Hotel nicht in jedem Stockwerk einen Aufzug gibt. Falls das also wichtig ist, empfehle ich, dort vor einer Zimmerbuchung anzurufen und zu fragen, welche Zimmer per Aufzug erreicht werden können.

Einzigartiges Ambiente in 800 Jahre alter Burg auf Felsvorsprung mit tollem Essen und tollem Service vom Personal. Leider ist die Ausstattung und die Anmutung unser Zimmers deutlich in die Jahre gekommen - unser Preisniveau lag bei der Rabenstein Suite immerhin auf 5-Sterne Ebene - da reicht dann Ambiente allein nicht mehr und es muss mehr geliefert werden wie zB sicheres und leistungsstarkes WLAN (gerade wenn kein TV), Minibar im Zimmer (oder zumindest Kaffee/Teezubereitungsmöglichkeit) sowie eine hoch- und neuwertige Ausstattung mit voller Funktion
