Experience of our guests

  • “The castle is lovely and I loved the sitting area near the bar. Usually hotels in older buildings aren't comfortable, but the room was modern while still keeping the castle charm. The bed was very comfortable (and 1 bed not 2 pushed together), the espresso machine was great, nice shower products, free parking. This is a hotel I'll be recommending!”

  • “Everything around my stay was perfect: the Kasteel as such, the room, the restaurant (where I had dinner and breakfast). The restaurant menu was surprisingly good with a variety of tates that I would never have imagined. Most of all: the extremely friendly welcome by all staff. They were delightful!”
