Schloss Hotel Wasserburg

“Definitely Old World. More charm than modern.”

It's a small castle as they go, meant for protecting the town from lake invaders back in the day I suppose. I won't quite say it's charming to look at, as it is worn and in need of some coats of paint. The dinginess of the exterior extends a bit to the interior too. It's dated to be sure. Our… lisää

It's a small castle as they go, meant for protecting the town from lake invaders back in the day I suppose. I won't quite say it's charming to look at, as it is worn and in need of some coats of paint. The dinginess of the exterior extends a bit to the interior too. It's dated to be sure. Our room was on the corner of the top floor and full of Old World charm. The ceilings sloped all over the place, so I needed to watch my head. The windows were tiny little squares with glass warped by centuries in the pane. They were not too effective at dampening the sound of the storm overnight, either. The carpet dense and old; the bed small and bulky. And the furniture was thick and creaking wood. The one part remodeled was the bathroom. Note that there is a small lift, but mainly you take the stairs as it is so slow. Free parking is provided in a pretty cramped lot in front of the hotel. Our room included a really good and substantive buffet breakfast in the hotel's very modern restaurant, too. The staff were really nice and efficient.

“Very good hotel”

Schloss Hotel Wasserburg has a wonderful location: just by the lakeside, looking out across water to the far side; with flocks of crested grebes and some swans enjoying the shallows.

Schloss Hotel Wasserburg has a wonderful location: just by the lakeside, looking out across water to the far side; with flocks of crested grebes and some swans enjoying the shallows. There's access to the water, sunbeds beside the water and plenty of greenery all round. The castle itself is wonderful: beautifully restored with walls up to 3m thick in some places, yet warm and comfortable. It's tastefully furnished in keeping with its history. It seems that every room has a view of the lake. We'd happily return! And now one niggle: we twice booked for an evening meal and both times we were shown to a table beside the open doors that led out onto the terrace; the doors allowed a chill breeze to freeze us, so much so that we abandoned the idea of eating there and headed off in search of more comfort and good food. I find it difficult to understand why an hotel would wish to treat its residents like this. However, this apart we enjoyed our stay very much and found the staff pleasnt and helpful
