Göbels Schlosshotel "Prinz Von Hessen"

The hotel is located in a small village near Bad Hersfeld and a few minutes away from the highway. But very quiet, a combination of the old castle and the new building with amazing modern spa area, sauna and swimming pool (inside and outside), great terrace and places to relax. The castle courtyard is completed at the fourth side with an old castle surrounded by water, a moat, in former times for the defense. Nice suites are available in the old buildings, well renovated and each of them with a special theme. Also the rooms inside the new building are modern, but adapted to the style of the location. We had an arrangement for three at Christmas in a cozy suite, great room, tv, safe, minibar, two balconies, bathroom with two washbasins, shower and bathtub, very clean. The service was excellent, also at the restaurant in the morning and evening. The breakfast buffet offers all different options you need, in the evening we choose the great menus, always with a starter, soup, different main dishes available (fish, meat and vegetarian) and a dessert. Excellent cuisine! The bar offers all kind of cocktails, different beers and wine selection. Service at the reception and at the spa reception is very kind and guest oriented. The massage was professional, the spa area is a beautiful place and invites for relaxing. We enjoyed our stay at every minute and will return certainly.

“Weekend Stay”

I stayed at the „Göbel‘s Schlosshotel” for two nights in October 2021 with my parents and three sisters. We had a really good time, overall, although there is some room for improvement. We had three double rooms on the second floor of the East wing. The hotel consists of several buildings. The East wing can be reached via an overpass from the main building which houses the reception, restaurant, and spa. However, the overpass is on the third floor so that we had to go up two stories, use the overpass and go down one floor to reach our rooms. It was slightly confusing at first and nobody showed us to our rooms. We were just given general directions. The rooms were clean and well-equipped. However, the decor was rather tacky and not up to five-star standard, in our opinion. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and spacious with a good shower and a nice range of toiletries provided. The spa is very nice. It consists of a heated outdoor pool that can be used at any time of the year, a nice indoor pool, two jacuzzis, three different saunas, a steam bath, a number of relaxation rooms, and a cafeteria. Drinks (tea, coffee, sparkling and still water, iced tea) are provided free of charge. All the ladies in our group had a massage which we all thought was good but not outstanding. We had booked half-board. Frankly, none of us thought the food was up to five-star standard. Breakfast was buffet style and consisted of the usual choices that one gets at any big hotel, nothing out of the ordinary. Dinner was buffet style the first night and à la carte the second. The starters on the first day were good. However, none of the meat options for main course appealed to me (nor my sisters), so I had the fish. It was OK, but nothing to write home about. The desserts were good. The starters on the second day were good as well, but the rest of the four-course meal really wasn’t. The pumpkin soup was rather bland and contained strange morsels of meat, the main course was just ordinary chicken with pasta and asparagus and the dessert consisted of different kinds of ice creams and mousses none of which were very tasty. One of them was basil ice cream for example. It just tasted like cold basil. The drinks were rather overpriced, I thought. All of the staff were very polite and friendly. All the servers in the restaurant were very attentive. Some of the people at reception were a bit confused, though, particularly concerning who had booked which massage (it wasn’t complicated – four of us had booked the same one) and which massages had or hadn’t already been paid for. To sum it up: we thought this was a good hotel. If it had been four-star and priced accordingly, I would have given it five points. As it was, it fell a bit short of our expectations.

“Excellent hotel in stunning location”

The bathroom was not in mint condition, with traces of the previous guests here and there. The room was spacious, extremely well fitted and otherwise very comfortable. Unfortunately - after asking for the bathroom to be cleaned more thoroughly - things did not improve much. This is a pity because it can spoil an otherwise impeccable experience. Apart from this the hotel is very pleasant, with a mix of modern and old style, and it is located among the remains of the old castle. The reception service is very good, with kind and efficient people that speak good English. There is a gym, a real swimming pool and there are tracks starting from just outside the hotel that take you to through the nearby wooded hills. The breakfast offers a great choice of hot and cold food and a chef is at the guest's disposal for cooking fresh omelettes. The rates are very convenient given the quality of the whole. I will certainly use it again.
