Hotel Burg Wassenberg

History and hospitality I stayed here for an overnight stop on a drive to Austria. I wanted somewhere in Germany but not as far as the Rhineland which is where I have generally stopped in previous years. And a hotel in an old castle sounded good. My sat-nav initially took me to the wrong hotel (my fault for not checking I had entered the correct name!) but because the castle dominates Wassenberg being on a hill in the centre, it wasn't difficult to find the correct way there. I received a very warm welcome at the reception desk and was offered an alternative room, a better one, that would avoid having to use stairs. But there seemed to have been a breakdown in communications from the booking engine as the hotel had no record of my request for half-board. However, it was not a problem for them to include it. The room was excellent and, for me, had one of the comfiest beds I have ever slept in. (That of course is a very subjective opinion as what to me is very comfortable might well be too hard for one person or yet too soft for another.) The hotel is partly in old castle buildings and some newer additions. I had asked to have dinner on the terrace as it was very hot but that message didn't seem to have reached the dining room from reception, but the meal was fine. I did have time for a walk around the town - I had hoped to do more but it was so hot that it was too uncomfortable to move around a lot. So there is a lot more for me still to explore. If you are feeling energetic you can ask in the hotel for the key to the old keep and climb to the top of it. My regular summing up question is "Would I choose to stay there again?" and in the case of the Burg Hotel Wassenberg the answer is a most definite yes!

My wife and I had a wonderful 1-night stay at Hotel Burg Wassenberg. We felt very welcomed by the wonderful staff, from personally showing us to our room to the restaurant staff going out of their way to ensure my wife had one more schnitzel before leaving Germany. All-in-all, it was a memorable moment on our vacation, after a series of forgettable budget hotels. And the historical town of Wassenberg is worth a visit, even though it’s off the beaten path. There’s a great historical walking tour and tons of green space.

It is an ok accomodation. No nonsense. What you see is what you get. We arrived in a tuesday which is a low staff day. Breakfast was nice. People were nice. Value for money. I would recommend for a stop over I

Kasteel als hotel! Geweldig verblijf in dit fantastische kasteel. Kamer prima Ontbijt was mega mega uitgebreid en heel lekker. Voor mij 1 nadeel…ik kon de ingang lastig vinden

War alles ok, Preis Leistung ist gut
