Ellwangen Castle

Very nice hotel convenient to train station and stores. Friendly staff and great for a quiet stay

The design of the restroom is absolutely terrible. There is no door, small toilet compartment with a non-locking glass door, and glass between the shower and beds. There is no privacy, no noise isolation, and the designer should never design anything again. Only book this if you're traveling alone.

The hotel is just off the main shopping area so there are lots of places to get food and drinks nearby. It was also within walking distance of the massive christmas market (this was one of the reason I chose it). On first view the inside of the hotel looks quite dated - lots of dark wood everywhere. Reception staff were pleasant and helpful.We were given a room at the front of the hotel on the first floor. On the way up, the hallway carpet looked threadbare but on closer inspection if was just a very strange pattern that made it look like that, The room and bathroom were spacious and clean but again a bit dated with the wood effect, although peerfectly adequte. Free bottles of water were provided every day. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel (16 euros per person) instead we went to the bakery at the end of the street that had a seating area. Overall a good expereince
