Visited in November/December 2011 with my college... the location cannot be beat! On top of a mountain-type thing with impeccable views over the Rhine, comfortable accomodation, hot showers, excellent food, close to public transport links (vertically that is, very long walk down the mountain). Only downsides - stairs inside the hostel are quite uneven and hard to walk up and... More

Stay here, one night, its beautiful, the courtyard and views are not to be beat, especially from the older part of the castle that is overlooking the actual part you stay in. Incredible. The stairs getting to your room are a riot, you seriously feel like you're in a dungeon. However the rooms are pretty bare. The views from the... More

I wanted my 13 yr old daughter to stay in a "real" castle during out trip to Europe. However, most of them were far too expensive. This one was just right. We had 5 in our group, so they gave us a private room with bunk beds!! We laughed when we opened the door. (Most of us are a little... More

And it just happened to be a castle :) - Stayed here the beginning of November so it looked as if we had just missed some sort of harvest festival. Having it being on a hill gave access to great views of the Rhine. The trails around the castle were superb for little hikes or maybe even sightseeing via horseback.... More

We stayed here in July 2011 for 2 nights, because we had promised my young daughter that we'd stay in a castle. The kids had a blast exploring the castle when we first got there. There was a bit of confusion over our reservation when we first arrived, but I had brought a printout of our email confirmation, and it... More

I have stayed at the castle in Bacharach twice now, and both times were great. I would recommend it to anyone who is used to staying in Hostels. It is good basic accommodation with the flair of a 900 year castle thrown in. It is half way up the Rhine bank so if you are walking it will take some... More

This was a great experience. We thought we had a double room with bath. When we got there that was not the case. We just chalked it up to misunderstandings because of language differences. In that situation you can make a stink or just shrug and go with the flow. We had a room with 2 twin beds and bunk... More

We stayed here for 4 nights on a 2 month family holiday through Europe. This place was worthwhile because of the cost and we loved the novelty of staying in a castle. However it is a hostel, so the rooms do not match the exterior. We had a 6 bed room to ourselves with our own bathroom and everything was... More
