Burg Hohnstein

Leuk om in een kasteeltje te overnachten.

Die Lage, das freundliche Personal, das reichhaltige Frühstück , die Ruhe

Frühstück war tatsachlich sehr einfach, aber ausreichend.

Check in is until 5pm, we informed that we would come later, because we travel long distance by bicycles. In the evening there was noone to be found to answer any questions, we had problems finding our room, and when we found it, it was not heated. We were freezing after the ride, and wanted to boil some water for tea. There were several "kitchens" on the floor maps we found, but it was just a room with 4 tables, no kettle, no nothing at all. We looked for and did not find no water, neither hot nor even cold to drink. In the room we ironically had glasses, but not a single bottle of water anywhere to be found. It was a bit of a shock for 120 euro night stay after a long trip. We had to wait till morning to drink anything. I would say it is not a hotel, it is rather campus. There was some kind of music camp for children going on, and I think you shouldn't expect more than a school trip format of that: bunk beds, poor breakfast of bread, ham and cheese (no eggs even) with coffee from titan pot. To be honest, we switched on the heating when we arrived, so it was not freezing at night when there was -1 outside. The castle itself is super fine, and the staff we met in the morning were also friendly and nice, it's just about a real discomfort we had to deal with in a hotel in 21 century - no water anywhere and no facilities to even have teraflu.
