Restaurant lets this hotel down
We had an excellent room, although we were disappointed to realize the HDMI outlet had been covered by the TV stand so we couldn't plug in our ipad, this was a minor inconvenience. The view was excellent and the room well appointed. Our only let down was the restaurant. This brought a 4.5 star stay down to a 3* at best. Stale bread and poorly prepared dinner on our first evening was followed by the worst breakfast buffet we had our entire trip. Stale rolls (again) and the only 'hot' item was ice cold soft boiled eggs. We couldn't tell if they had been refrigerated or just cooked several hours earlier. Very limited selection of meat and cheese paired with the less than fresh bread. We ended up checking out early so we could find a bakery and buy breakfast on our way out, we were too hungry to spend any more time enjoying the castle. Disappointing given the hotel price that was to include breakfast. I understand there were few guests at the time - but they would have been better off offering to cook 'to order' rather than putting out stale items and ice cold eggs - especially soft boiled! AVOID the restaurant in the slow season.

Castle hotel with modern decoration!
There're many things that you'd reasonably expect when you decide to stay at a castle hotel (e.g., splendid view of towns and villages, far away from any towns and driving to hotel at night or in poor weather condition can be quite challenging, you can easily find bats and mosquitos or hear the wolves howl). Other than these rather neutral factors, there are:- The good stuff: Staff really tried to be helpful (but are not very proficient in English); Very respectable "Customers First" approach (e.g., their bar virtually doesn't close as long as guests are still there and they won't take away breakfast items until they've ensured all guests are done with them); Offer late check-out; branded and quality bathroom supplies and everything (down to the cup of coffee that you get); Free admission for hotel guests to visit the museum (but be warned, some displays are quite disturbing). Room for improvement: Not much, but subjectively, they could further decorate the hotel to make it a little more luxurious which may enhance the experience that 'hey, I'm actually living at a castle'. Currently, they're using a "less is more" design concept.

A complete joy
Everything here was a treat --- except for the Internet. The views are great, the ambiance terrific (a wonderfully converted/restored castle, replete with two cannon). But do not expect to have any internet connectivity in your room. There is "some" connectivity in the lounge, but that is minimally performant. And of course, inconvenient if you have work to do.

2/10 Poor

incorrect information given by front desk checkin
the hotel itself is beautiful. I didn't like the fact that it is not just a hotel but a tourist destination with a museum. however, the crowds do leave in the evening and it quiets down. Also, I really didn't like the fact that the hotel never confirmed the room rates for an extra bed for my daughter. They only told me at check-in that there was an additional charge for extra bed and breakfast for a third person, they didn't mention till checkout that they had put us in a large suite to accommodate that third bed and the price was much higher (in addition to the extra b&b fees) than that quoted during booking. Most hotels confirm ahead of time the extra fees via e-mail which allows one options to rebook. All the other hotels just charged typically extra fees for a third person, not double fees. I would have preferred 2 rooms fro that price if I had been told upfront. This way we would have had use of an additional bathroom for the same price! I wasn't going to stand there and argue with the receptionist a check-out so I paid it and left. I am very angry about it though!

The hotel meet all our expectations. Excellent location and service. Great venue to appreciate the Dam Buster Raid or follow the fairy tale trail.

Waldeck
View was fabulous. Hotel was amazing. Food was superb. Surrounding area was also amazing. Upon arrival we were told our only chance to make reservations at the hotel restaurant was at the time of check in. Not knowing if there was another option (there are several) we made the reservation. There were only five couples in the restaurant so.no reservation was needed. Further noone was offered seated outside overlooking the lake but instead inside with a limited view. Lengthy discussions were needed to gain an outside table.

Great Stay, but needs improvement with WiFi
Tremendously beautiful, both the hotel and the area. WiFi coverage needs improvement. No reception in most part of the hotel except the restaurant. Not an ideal business hotel but vacation travel is perfect.

It's a fricken castle!
Seriously. It's a castle. That's really all you need to know. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I slept like a rock, which is not something I can say very often. We ate lunch in the café and dinner in the restaurant. The food in the café was delicious and priced reasonably. The restaurant was a bit pricey, although the food was tasty. Sadly, the museum was closed, along with most of the activities in the area. It’s all very seasonal, so when you go in the winter, don’t expect to see much open. Still, the hotel was great and my wife and I had a good time.

Awesome!
What a beautiful setting for a hotel. 5* rating across the board, however to pick holes, it is a bit pricey and the rooms don't have aircon which is a bit of a drawback - especially on the very hot days of summer. Not all the staff speak English but enough do to get by. There is a lot to do in the local area and the museum ('Under Lock and Key') is a very interesting experience - English audio guides are now available! We wish we had spent a few more days here.

Beautiful views, Staff not so friendly.
The hotel itself looked like the pictures on the Expedia website with breathtaking views all around. The room was fine, the bathroom shower had poor drainage, but other than that the room was fine. The staff was not overly helpful or friendly, especially the hostes in the restaurant. With an almost completely empty dining room instead of putting us at table in front of a window (of which there were at least 6 that were empty) so we could enjoy the views; we were told the tables were reserved. By the time we left the dining room the tables were still empty.

Beautiful Location
Great location for visiting the Dambusters site. The rooms are lovely and the village is very nice. The service was not the best as breakfast was supposed to start at 7am but was more like 0745 so if you have an early start then don't bother paying for breakfast. Be wary of the city tax. This was applied to our booking twice. The rooms do not have tea and coffee making facilities and we found this in most of the hotels we stayed in in Germany so if you are keen for a brew then take a kettle with you. There seemed to be lots of other nice hotels in the area and i imagine we paid a premium for staying in the castle which you can visit even if you are not a resident.

I was surprised by a continous noise in my room of a motor or a machine that was working all the time and when asked to change the room the noise was in the new room they proposed. But the view is fantastic and the food was very good and the location is very close to the sight reeing area

Ein total missratenes Geburtstagsfest!
Gesamthaft ist das Hotel in Ordnung. Leider haben wir aber am ersten Abend schon eine herbe Enttäuschung hinnehmen müssen. Ich hatte an diesem Tag meinen 65. Geburtstag und wollte diesen in gebührenden Rahmen feiern, was von meiner Frau mit einem regen E-Mailverkehr auch mitgeteilt wurde. Dass wir dann in einem Zweitklassrestaurant mit absolut lausiger Bedienung unseren Abend feiern mussten, brachte das Fass zum Überlaufen. Obwohl wir uns beschwerten, erhielten wir als Auskunft, dass die Serviertochter halt ihren ersten Arbeitstag habe. Wäre ja noch verständlich, aber nicht, wenn noch drei weitere Serviceangestellt anwesend sind und das Lokal mit wenigen Personen besetzt ist!!! Die drei nächsten Abende waren jedoch in Ordnung. Trotzdem werden wir dieses Hotel niemals weiter empfehlen. Wir würden diesem Hotel auf jeden Fall ein Stern absprechen.

Beim Check - Inn fühlte man sich als Internetkunde nicht willkommen. Der bebuchte Ausblick bedeute, das man aus dem Fenster schauen könne. Das Restaurant ist extrem teuer. Die Speisekarte sehr begrenzt. Das Hotel hat eine fantastische Lage. Wir werden nicht wieder kommen!
