Hotel Schloss Neustadt-Glewe

This is a hidden gem, where you can experience to stay in a genuine castle, often at rates that are lower than a hostel in more well-known destinations. In some rooms you really can feel the history in the walls and under the unbelievaby beautiful ceilings. We've been here several times, but the experience is fantastic every time, and the junior suite we got this time, was just absolutely fabulous. Neustadt Glewe is a very charming and quiet village, that also boasts a medieval castle, and loads of half-timbered houses. It's a perfect and relaxing getaway.

Nice people, great historic setting. Sure hotel is not resently renovated, but it is clean and well kept and with great charm. If you are traveling through Germany with family better price/quality will be difficult to find

We expected to be sleeping in the schloss itself, but unfortunately the family rooms are in another building. We waited a couple of minutes at the reception, some of the staff does not speak English at all. One of our rooms reeked of smoke, clearly the previous tenants smoked there heavily. We were given a different room on another floor, which was clean. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms rather old-fashioned, curtains are tiny. Breakfast was ok, but there were tiny flies everywhere, which was a bit gross. Beds were ok. The prices were low enough to justify this pretty mediocre experience, but it’s a shame because it looked like a really nice place in the pictures. The highlights: Schwerin is nearby, and the fantastic Asian restaurant just up the street from the hotel (barely 4 minutes walk).

Sofa bed was too firm for kids to sleep on. Has so much space in room not so much of counter space. Had the expression staying in palace but we got to stay in "mother inlaw" rooms :(. Breakfast buffet was nothing speacial. Must ask for cappuccino or you get table thermos coffee!
