Location was excellent. The room was spacious and nice and the breakfast was very good

I was disappointed when I received a message from Burg Rabenstein after I booked it, that the dining room would not be available to hotel guests due to a fully booked event and that it would also be closed on the Monday we stayed there. This closure also applied to the Burgschenke and all the other parts of the castle. This forced us to go out by car to get dinner in the evening elsewhere. So please check this out before you book the hotel.

Charming stay at castle, it was very nice experience; We booked the bigger room which was very spacious; breakfast was good, and we had delicious dinner (special local cuisine menu). we loved the freedom to walk to castle by ourselves the most :)

Was rather hot in the room, but one does not expect AC in castle :) and there are other parts of castle where you can cool down, like castle beer garden

The location is breathtaking, the castle is carefully renovated and the staff was friendly and very accomodating. The food was excellent including a great selection of breakfast varieties.

Although my room was lovely and had a great view I wished that the bed was more comfortable. The duvet was too thin, the pillow was too flat for my taste, I'd prefered a down pillow and the bedframe was squeaking.

Me and my son made a tour around Fränkische Alp to look at castles and other historical landmarks. We also stayed in some of the castles. We were focusing especially on castles with a more "medieval" appearance rather than later palaces. Burg Rabenstein is really a dream castle if one likes these things. It has very spectacular looks on top of a cliff. It has amazing interiors that make you feel like moved in time. In addition to this there is also possible to eat quite high-end food for a reasonable price level in the castle restaurant. And the list of wine and spirits was very complete, and sitting there sipping on a good whiskey in a leather chair after the dinner was very relaxing. My teenage son was by then spending the time in the huge bathtub of our room. Altogether it really felt as we were some royalty in the past. The breakfast was also great, and the location is perfect for hiking in the surroundings. Only a few hundred meters away is an amazing cave with beautiful rock formations and remains of cave bears.

There is nothing to complain about, really. As said, it is a fabulous place. The parking is a couple of hundred meters away, but it is understandable as parked cars would really destroy the view of the castle. One can drive closer to leave and pick up luggage, so not really a problem. But, OK, one thing I would like to complain about is that several of the castles we visited on this trip, this one included, are becoming overgrown by thick vegetation, from high grass to trees. This obscures the views both to and from the castles, as well as does not give an impression of the sites being well kept.

The location and surrounding is excellent and staying in such a historic castle like this is a great experience. The staff at reception is very good.

The Beergarden inside the premise closes at 18.00hrs. The restaurant inside the castle requires prior booking. And nearest villages are 4 to 6km away. So plan well your evening dinner in advance. There are limited or no options if you do not plan.

We had a pleasant and instructive stay at the Burg Rabenstein with a visit to the Sophienhöhle. The rooms were very comfortable. We have never slept so well. The castle and its history are worth taking the time for the tour and others activities. We are looking forward to coming in the Summer again.

it was clean, plenty of room, and in a great location.

check in was a little problematic. the code given did not work, and I had to call to get buzzed in. Also I had sent a question, but never got a response. If any Americans are planning on staying there, just know that the clothes dryers there aren’t not like the ones in the States. They do not use heat, so it takes a long time to dry. I assume it’s due to their energy crisis.

The castle itself was beautiful and the artefacts it held within fascinating. Loved being able to roam freely and explore. Grounds adjacent to nature trails and a majestical cave.

The restaurant on the property isn’t open on Monday’s for dinner which is no biggie. Was a restaurant nearby

The castle itself is amazing, with lot of details from different historical eras. The restaurant was very good, with nice atmosphere. Very good breakfast with different coffee options.

The castle tour was only in German. It was still worth it as there was some places you would not otherwise see.

Fantastic Location. Nice personnel. Excellent büffet Breakfast, lots to choose from. Very good shower cabin. Beautiful atmosphere and nice decoration in all the premises. The 2 nights we stayed there was only one menu for dinner. So, all good; but still, in my opinion: a bit expensive the room and expensive the restaurant.
