Since my wife loves fairy tales and has always wanted to go to Europe, I knew I needed to bring her to the Märchenhotel for our honeymoon. We stayed in the Rapunzel room, which made for a truly magical experience and great memories. The room was extremely clean, neat and cozy and we enjoyed spending time on the terrace. The... More

Great experience as its different, but quite noisy as you hear you neighbours.. Recommend for one night. More

We recently stayed 3 nights in the Marchenhotel and were extremely disappointed by the discrepancy between the hotel website, the reviews here and the actual reality of staying at the hotel. Having reviewed many other B&B's and hotels over the years, this is the first time I have ever felt the need to warn fellow travellers about a property. The... More

The location is definitely the best thing about this place. We found the food good (although we only had breakfast), the staff seemed friendly but no one really spoke to us except at breakfast and on check in/departure. The rooms are clean but although they are themed, the finishing touches were not great, and somehow the personal touch was missing.... More

A quirky old-fashioned small hotel in the heart of Bernkastel. Personally I hated the fairytale theme and the old decor but perhaps some people like it. The good points were: the location, the size of the room was quite generous, and generaly things were clean. Also, there is free (but very slow) internet. The downsides were: poky bathroom, noisy rooms... More

Bernkastel-Kues is a beautiful idyllic town situated on the Mosel river. The Marchenhotel is a lovely half timbered building full of character and charm. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room we had was warm clean and beautifully styled on the theme of Snow White without being over the top. We went for the Christmas Market but got so... More

Met all expectations. Friendly and accommodating family-run (tenth generation) historic establishment. Creative cuisine served always fresh. A good breakfast spread. Excellent value for money. Each room is done in a fairy tale style. No elevator. The staff helps with carrying the bags to the upper levels. We missed the view of the Mosel valley, but having been on Reichenau island... More

This is a really nice place to stay in a great little town. We arrived on motorcycles after coming from the UK and were made extremley welcome - good parking, nice rooms and lots of smiling faces! All the rooms are individually designed and are very spacious and a clean. Don't expect a chain type atmosphere, but more like a... More

We have stayed in quite a few hotels over the years but none could compare to the Maerchenhotel Alteste. My Wife and I stayed for two nights during Valentines weekend. We received a warm reception and stayed in the Frog Kings abode room. It was a fabulous room, spacious, very clean, warm and cozy with a jacuzzi, The staff were... More
