Relais & Châteaux Hotel Burg Schwarzenstein

view good

We stayed in nice hotels on this trip. This was the best of the best. It is located near a tiny hamlet called Johannesburg which is near the Rhine River. Town does have a couple of restaurants and also a bank with an ATM machine. There is also a Shell station very close to the hotel. Located on a beautiful vineyard. Hotel is spacious, relaxing, tranquil. It is a modern two story structure. One drives through a gated entrance (no guards, left open). Parking surrounds the hotel and is easy. Next to the parking is a building housing two restaurants that have incorporated the remains of a 19th century pseudo castle. Room was very large, elegant, modern. Bathroom also large and modern. Bed was comfortable but the cot they brought in was torture. Window faced the front of the hotel. We could see the 'castle', vineyard. Hotel staff were very nice. Provided us with gifts of wine and other amenities. I had concerns booking this. We wanted to spend several days seeing the Rhine river castles and I was worried it was too far from that. Adding to my concern was that it was only 35 minutes to drive to Frankfurt airport. So I thought this was out of the way. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel was a great base for exploring the best parts of the Rhine. Drive along the river was pictureque and we could easily reach what we wanted to see in a short time. The hotel is located on a slope rising above the river. Driving downhill through the small town brought us to the river's edge. There is a car ferry that runs frequently taking one to the other side so we did that one day. Another day we drove the highway on our side of the river. Both were great drives. Getting to the airport on our last day was quick and easy (helped that it was Sunday when everything is closed). FYI - for those with a rental car you can fill up at the airport just as you get to the rental return/departure area.

Alt spiller bare på dette sted!!! Superservice som altid.

The hotel is exactly same like is saying in websites. Amazing place. Very calm and silent - out from everything. Hotel room was so stylish with fresh fruits and that cake made me so pleased. IT was somerhing tiny but very nice welcoming. We had dinner - IT was Ok, food did not suprise us. We Looking for more…dessert saved! Brekfast was perfect. And that view… Thank you!

Nothing to complain about the room size and equipment. The breakfast is also good and especially the view from the breakfast room is hard to beat. Would also comeback for a romantic getaway. Nice winemakers are also close by. If it wasn’t for the price I would warmly recommend this to everyone

One of the loveliest hotels we have stayed at. Everything was perfect.

Stunning place. Excellent staff, cuisine, location and hideaway. Highly recommended if you would like to visit the German Rheingau wine region. Close to the Rhein river overlooking a splendid panorama. Rooms fully equipped with all you need, quite and super interior. Hotel bar, parking in front of the building including E charger in case your needs electricity. Massive shout-out to the staff. We felt every second welcome. Really like a second home 👍👏👏👏

Everything about the hotel is excellent - rooms, service, food, situation and staff.

Top Resort. Gute Service und Kulinarik.
