Oh wow. What a nice few days we spent here. The view, the rooms, the town, I love this place. The castle has an interesting history, and is now run wonderfully as a hotel / hostel. Situated on top the cliff overshadowing the town Blankenheim. We stayed in the lower courtyard area in a self contained 4 bed flat. Everything we needed, and it was clean, well maintained and quiet. Short walk down the hill on some amazing medieval style steps through an old gate house to the town where you'll find some great restaurants, more quaint Germanic aesthetics and friendly people. Parking for Motorbikes right out front of our building so we could keep an eye on them. Staff were extremely helpful and obliging. Walked us right to the room to settle us in. Worth staying here just for the view, but i'll come back for the friendly team, the super clean and well appointed rooms, the old castle aesthetics, and the value. 4 guys shared the flat, we paid I think 30 euro each for the night. Considering everything, this was brilliant value. Will return. Check out the pics for a better idea.

Have been there several times with students of our music school. Great location, much place for all the orchestras and bands and allways lots of fun!
