The setting on the mighty Rhine is magnificent, the castle itself is cool beyond counting, the staff are patient and helpful, and the food is fine - in all, a wonderful experience. My only complaints are the swarms of students and the guys in the dorm who snored and coughed all night. I probably sound like a priggish git, and... More

Review of Hostel Jugendherberge Burg Stahleck By James H. Coppens Imagine staying in a castle high over the Rhine, with a breathtaking view, for only 26€ per person, including breakfast! Fri Apr 19, At 1500, Thess and I and our 3 students, Lisa, Eva, and Belinda departed by car (Mazda 5 van) for our English Immersion weekend teaching excursion to... More

A youth Hostel in a castle, with a very reasonable cost, you need to be a member of the YHA to stay here. Private rooms are available for families with bunk beds, and communal bathrooms and as with all Youth Hostels, you fit your own sheets and put them in the laundry. The restaurant supplied good food, beer and wine,... More

Staying in this authentic castle turned hostel was a fun addition to our Topdeck tour. It was great staying on top of the hill overlooking such a great scenery. It was a trek to go out at night, so we just stayed out in the patio and had a few drinks with our tour group. We had small rooms that... More

I have come to love the sleepy Mosel river and the bustling Rhine. Castles adorn both sides of the rivers and at each bend we gasped again at the castles majestically guarding each valley. Burg Stahleck cant be missed as it is stands guard over the sleepy town of Bacarach. The car park is at the top of the road... More

WOW! Although it can be a long walk from the car park (at the top of the hill) to the castle courtyard, it is worth it! You are greeted with a great view across the Rhine from a patio area. Inside the warm feeling continues. The staff are friendly and knowledgable, there is Wi-Fi and you get to stay in... More

An excellent hostel, that is in a medieval castle. Wonderful building, with decent clean rooms. great views over the river, but a long walk from town (castles that are hard to get to are eaiser to defend). The meals were good and the bar was open till 10pm, when we were there. Really loved drinking beer and wine watching boats... More

This is a youth/family hostel- there were a lot of children running around early in the morning, screaming about breakfast or something. I just wanted to sleep in on the bottom bunk of our tiny little dorm room. We’d get up right at the tail end for breakfast- by the time we were done eating, most of the people had... More

Our family of four stayed here two nights. We arrived by car and figured out after speaking with the TI in Bacharach that we could drive up through town and then up around the castle until we were basically above the castle. We parked on the street with many others and then only had to walk a short distance to... More
