Burg Rabenstein

Burg Rabenstein is a Medieval Castle Hotel in a idyllic setting overlooking a beautiful ravine in rural Franconia. There are beautiful hiking trails, a nice beer garden and a falconry, which puts on daily shows. The WiFi is poor in terms of connection strength and unless you ask for multiple login codes, you will only receive access for a single device. The hotel in not air conditioned and many of the windows do not have screens. So, the rooms can be stuffy in warm weather, or alternatively you’ll get eaten up by bugs. The rooms are dark even with the lights on. The main desk is only staffed from 8 am until 9 pm. There is no bell service, so you will need to carry your bags up stairs yourself. There is an elevator, but it is located at the back of the dining room and does not reach all rooms. The food at dinner is good, but service can be slow. The Continental breakfast was good and starts at 8 am. The Burg would be a fun getaway for a family looking to unplug for a few days, step back in time and enjoy the outdoors in a beautiful place. It perhaps lacks too many of the creature comforts and service which would be ideal for a couples getaway.
