Nothing

This place is amazing! A throwback to a different era. Liver like an earl, but with a great shower head and hot water, super comfy bed and a wood-burning fireplace right in our room. Great food and wine. The staff were super friendly…taking pride in their space and the work at the castle.

It's a little off the beaten track (remote). Whilst it didn't bother us, just beware if you have large suitcases that the stairway (tight spiral) might be difficult with larger luggage items. We had carry on size, so no great issue and honestly what would you expect in an old castle.

It's a castle!!! Seriously awesome. No in all seriousness, the owners have done a great job renovating this gem. Our room was massive, not sure if we were upgraded but there was space to sleep 10 in our suite. A full bathroom with extra toilet was great with kids. The food was brilliant and the service was excellent. The English of the staff wasn't great but with their little bit of English and my little bit of German we managed. The castle tour was great and they had an English information sheet which was helpful.

We have long dreamed of staying overnight at the castle. That was great. it is a stunning view from the terraces to the nearby villages. There were very tasty dishes in the taverna. The breakfast is also very good. We did not take a pet this time, but you will be welcome with him here.

I am super excited about this place. The stuff gave us a better (Ritterzimmer) room with no extra costs as it was free at the moment. The hotel, room, corridor and -- last but not least-- people working there are amazing. Our daughter could imagine herself a princess and she found a few more princesses to play together. My high recommendations and thanks!

You literally feel like a king :) we loved the historic atmosphere, architecture and the fact that the surrounding of the castle offer many things to discover! also, the food cooked in the burg restaurant was delicious and the same applied to local wines

For about 50 rooms there's only one hair dryer which you have to reserve in advance. The stuff was very kind to arrange the hair dryer despite 6 another guest who needed it as well.

The castle seems to have1000 doors ,rooms and hidden passages. Staying in Burg Plankenstein is a journey in time. No room is alike,interior is a mix and match from English Flee Market and Renaissance furnishings. Around the castle enough green grounds, Roman path etc. Staying in the castle gives you an idea what was a daily life xxx years ago. What's more you will be very glad having modern,clean bathrooms and Toilet with running water

Was locked out at 9:50 PM. No staff. Exterior heavy door locked tight. No exterior lights were on. Took 5 minutes to find the secret "SECONDARY" door. It made the stay more fun, so we ended up liking it. But it would have been best if we were told about coming home after dark.

Atmosphere, ambiance, breakfast, creaking floors, heavy doors, quiet 4' thick walls, secret rooms to discover and explore.

old beds with very cheap textile

amazing place, definitely recommended. Only beds are older and very simple, but the hotel is amazing

Room accessible only via narrow stairs, kind of challenging with luggage. But this is a castle after all, not designed for travellers, you may expect this. Some essential comforts missing : in our room neither shutters, nor blinders, nor curtains, the morning sun shines right in. The decor is acquired taste, kind of secessionist notes, but truly, rather eclectic.

Castle feeling with dark corners, wooden floors, authentic doors. Good bathroom. Quick check in and out. And good food at reasonable price right there. A place with unique features, not a 4 or 5 star elegance but hard not to remember.

The place is fantastic and the service was very good.

Room was a little dark, but then, this was hthe way medieval castles were built... Careful with the climbing routes, when we were there they were in very bad condition (crumbling rock, routes hard to find and tell apart). Check-in was a little delayed and chaotic, but staff were very friendly. Spural staircases are quaint but NOT barrier free, of course.

The mystical garden, the modern, newly refurbished bathroom in a room that looked close to the medieval original, the breakfast. Excellent hot shower even late at night & in the topmost tower room. Freedom to explore the castle and grounds responsibly even after dark.
