1 star is given to the nice breakfast, no more. 1. Very rare bus connection, especially after 18:00 or weekends, which makes it very difficult to get back. 2. No Internet connection in room, even worse is the mobile connection is also horrible: you have No Internet in your room! Can you imagine this in 21st century? 3. The room quality is very limited, like a 1980's student dormitory, and they cost for 100 euro 4. The castle? yes, it is, a castle, and that's it. No special views or attractions here. 5. No more food or drink after 19: 30, and all stores are closed. No supermarket, No bar, No restaurant, even no light! stay away

Stayed here at the hostel as a family. Amazing location, well maintained and spotless. Friendly management. Payment is per person so it was relatively expensive as a family. Mattresses were not very comfy. Dinner which was included was ok. Drinks not included. Breakfast was better.

More than 800 years old Castle in fantastic condition. Definitely worth visiting.

Just visited the tower, which was open to take the stairs to the top for the viewing platform. Also a small exhibition on the history of the castle was open. Public parking in the square in front of the entrance gate. If you are in town, then fine to do the 15 minutes detour, or use it as a target for a walk in the nice wooded area. As a standalone not worthy of your time.

Like a youth hostel, but within a huge building existing since the fourteenth century. Excellent views and all doors are open, to the castle garden, the tower and the historic museum. Prices are very reasonable. Four people one might with buffet breakfast and dinner 132 EUR. Including bed linen. All very well organised, clean and spacious. It was warm under the roof and the windows could not open far, clearly because they watch straight into the depths surrounding the castle. Breakfast buffet more than sufficient, included vegan pate. No options for vegan butter. Reasonable coffee, hot chocolate for the children. Coffee after dinner was much better quality. Vegan option for dinner available upon request and of a good quality. Got a noodle dish, pretty salty but tasteful and with some fresh salad a decent meal. Worth the hike and definitely a place to come back to.
