Good option for a castle stay.
Pros:

Alex helped us with the luggage, he was so pleasant and helpful. Staying inside the walls was wonderful, you can enjoy the small town before and after the crowds arrive and dinner in the dining room of a castle was a great experience. Breakfast was great and the staff very attentive.

Cons:

The standard room inside the castle is very small and uncomfortable. We were upgraded to a suite in the adjacent building which was very comfortable but full of bugs!!!

Encantador, queria ter ficado mais um dia.
Pros:

O fato de se hospedar num castelo já é por si só fantástico. Localização perfeita. A sala de chá convida a uma parada para apreciar o momento. O restaurante é incrível, vale muito jantar lá numa noite.

Cons:

A acessibilidade não é o forte. Para mim não incomodou em nada, mas se você tem dificuldade de mobilidade ou bagagem muito pesada pode ser difícil.

Sehr gut
Pros:

Personal sehr freundlich, Preisleistung top, alles sehr autentisch. Sehr sauber. Früstück top. Empfehlenswert.

Cons:

Die Musik beim Dinner in der Burg stylmässig zwar passend, aber für mein Gschmack viel zu lasch nahezu zum Einschlafen. Schade.

Excellent location, but the comfort of the room fell well short of expectations
Pros:

The location was the highlight of the stay — convenient, well situated, and ideal for visiting the city.

We were also impressed by the gentleman who assisted with our luggage to and from the car. He was professional, cheerful, entertaining, and easy-going, and his warmth stood out as a particularly memorable part of the stay.

Cons:

The biggest disappointment was the comfort of the beds. The mattresses were extremely soft and felt cheap, making it difficult to sleep and leaving me with backache the next morning. My friend, who was in a different room, had the same experience, which suggests this is a broader issue rather than a one-off problem. In addition, the room lacked even a basic desk for using a laptop, although there appeared to be ample space for one.

Pros:

O atendimento é prestativo. São todos mto atenciosos.
O café da manhã é excelente! Muito gostoso e completo. O room service tb muito gostoso.

Cons:

As escadas são desanimadoras.
Para chegar no restaurante onde é servido o café da manhã, precisávamos subir muito! Todo o espaço até lá, e a céu aberto, impraticável com chuva.
O quarto que minhas filhas ficaram era muuuito pequeno! Nem a mala delas coube ali. Precisei colocar no nosso quarto.

An impressive place to stay if you are happy being in an old castle
Pros:

The setting of the hotel in the old castle, at the top of a fantastic old town, is hard to beat. The room had good facilities. The breakfast room had great views over the surrounding countryside.

Cons:

We had paid for a superior room and, while it had all you needed, it was windowless. I suppose this is to be expected in the base of a castle tower, but a little claustrophobic.
