We slept with the windows open and had a beautiful view from our window and a soft bed. The staff was very friendly and responsive to any needs we had. The breakfast was very nice.

The Schloßschenke is a beautiful hotel conveniently in the heart of Idar-Oberstein. There are plenty of shops and restaurants all in within easy walking distance and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel restaurant was undergoing renovation but a very nice continental breakfast was included and served in the smaller dining area. Parking is a little bit of an issue as in most cities but the hotel had free parking at a reserved parking area only 300 meters from the hotel. I would stay here again in a heartbeat on my next visit to Idar-Oberstein.

We were excited to stay in downtown Idar Oberstein since previously we had stayed a bit out of town. Sadly, the experience was lacking and bordered on depressing. I want to be quick to say that some of this is not the property's fault. Idar Oberstein is struggling like many small German cities within maintaining a vibrant downtown. That has had an impact on the property. In fact, the restaurant that used to be part of the hotel is no longer open which combines to limit dining choices for guests. The lack of life in the downtown has contributed to what felt like a property that was struggling to maintain itself. Few amenities were in the room in terms of soap and shampoo. The room was clean but there was hair in the bathroom. Front desk staffing was limited. The room itself was serviceable but furnishings were dated and one window shade was broken. Finally, there is no elevator in this property which makes it very difficult if you have lots of luggage as we did. It pains me to write this as I know that the property is dealing with some things beyond their control but I need to be honest.
