Schlosshotel

We landed at this castle hotel after 1400 km of driving from our home in western Switzerland. The hotel was constructed in the previous 19th century castle at the end of the 20th century, and our room, partly located below ground levels, did not appear to have been renovated since. The beds were hard like an old Mercedes-Benz car seat and you had to battle with the shower cabin doors to avoid the water flooding the bathroom floor.
The wooden clad salons and dining facilities bring you back some 100 years but this does not apply to the guests, dressed in 21st century T-shirts, shorts, sandals and tattoos even for their Sunday dinner in the park. You have some difficulty imagining the guests of today playing monopoly in front of the open fire place a cold January week-end...
The hotel boasts serving locally inspired food; our dinner was not on the high side, rather the contrary. The gravlax produced using farmed Danish mini-salmon was served with fat-dripping rösti, a first in my culinary life. In contrast, breakfast was OK. Service was a mixture of positive and negative. Overall, we find there are improvements to be made to earn a higher rating than ours.

Good hotel, no dinner
Nice hotel, good room and great surroundings. The fact that there is no restaurant or bar the day of my arrival came as a message after I booked (in addition there was just a smal food shack open in the adjacent village).
