Schloss Matzen

Amazing place

It was a very unique experience. Kids just loved it and we did too. We were the only guests and still they cared to serve us a rich and great breakfast every morning.

Gorgeous atmosphere and adjacent park such an amazing structure and beautiful restoration. We loved everything. We would have liked a tour to see the round tower, spa and gardens. All closed off - during our stay. There did not seem to be to be a manager on the property to guide guests. Also would recommend a drip coffee station or large prepared coffee urn and an electric water boiler for guests to make their own tea in the breakfast room. The noise of the cappuccino/expresso machine is unpleasant and sometimes there is a wait to use it. For tea the staff had to fetch hot water in tea pots. Still we so enjoyed our stay just suggestions.

Totally unique experience! The castle is beautiful. We stayed during a snowstorm and it was magical. It felt like Narnia! Room was amazing, breakfast was great, staff was friendly and helpful! The grounds are beautiful with a perfect 30 minute walking loop. Probably took us longer because we were taking so many pictures. If you want a unique stay in a one of a kind property this is it. If you need an elevator and 24 hour reception go somewhere that isn't as special as Schloss Matzen.

Rooms were huge and comfortable Breakfast was fresh and yummy Staff was friendly and accommodating when we requested a room change. Although the staff was very friendly, the front office wasn’t staffed which was a bit inconvenient. Be aware that there is no elevator in the castle and the top rooms require a lot of climbing to access.

What’s not to love …. It’s a castle! No AC in our room , but who cares it was a castle

Nothing.

Castle easy to find with GPS. Adequate parking not far from entrance gate. Unique experience of staying in a real walled castle, large, comfortable room with a modern bathroom. Easy, after hours self check-in. Lots of steep stairs inside may be a problem for people with mobility issues.

This was a major highlight of our trip. I wish we would have spent more than one night. They were so accommodating and friendly staff. The tower spa is a must!! We will be talking about this one for years.

Spending a night in an elegantly furnished medieval castle is a rare luxury that schloss martzen made possible

Interior is beautiful, truly luxurious, very beautiful

This property is beautiful! My room was very spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. They granted my request for a specific room and were great about communicating with me prior to my arrival. We were one of what appeared to be only two couples staying there which made our stay extra special. Despite only a few overnight guests that evening, our breakfast was still plentiful and delicious complete with a large number of choices. The attached photo reflects only a small fraction of the breakfast options. We spent time in each of the common spaces so we could enjoy as much of this huge castle as possible. There is a library, a courtyard, and a sitting area. The chapel was my favorite room. There is also a small park area outside with a walking path around a pond. A very good restaurant is located adjacent to the castle. I hope to return to Austria in the future and will definitely plan the visit so that my path includes Schloss Matzen. I miss being there already. It was all perfect!

Amazing experience in a true castle. Felt like we were in a movie scene. Loved it!

it’s really unique, the staff is friendly and the breakfast is great the porter-figure in the room could go, in my opinion it’s a non- reflective reminder of oppression and a reproduction of stereotypes against POC

Unbelievable! Impeccable! Extreme attention to detail. And super clean. Staff was great and great breakfast! The coffee pods in the room were 2€ each. I think you should offer free coffee in the room since breakfast doesn’t start until 08:30.

Staying at this hotel was a one-of-a-kind experience—like spending a night in an interactive museum, where you can touch each exhibit and feel like a part of history. You can take unique photos, read old books, and gain insight into what life was like in the castle. The surroundings are peaceful and picturesque, and I loved enjoying the mountain view through the window. Our stay was comfortable—the room was clean and fully equipped, and the breakfast was varied and nourishing. The Wi-Fi was occasionally slow, but it turned out to be a perfect opportunity for a digital detox. While having a car might be more convenient, we traveled by train, and reaching the castle on foot from the nearest station or by bus was not a problem. Overall, my expectations were exceeded, and I highly recommend spending a holiday at Matzen Castle.

Loved the spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Very clean. The antique furniture and fixtures were amazing. The entire hotel had hand painted walls. You must see the chapel and the library. The restaurant was very good. We stayed at the tip top room, if you can not handle stairs make certain to request a low level room. No coffee maker or tea kettle in the room.

Exceptional

Staying comfortably in a medieval building is a rarity that is made possible here. The rooms are large and strive to respect the history of this ancient structure. The Schloss and grounds are romantic and fascinating. This is a great launching point for long walks and hiking in the surrounding area. The grand wooden door into our room was cracked... big enough to look through. The breakfast room badly needs a renovation. Some of the large stag heads hanging in the breakfast room are falling apart and difficult to look at when eating breakfast. The breakfast experience was OK... should be great in a hotel like this. The coffee machine is too limited.

Location was fantastic. Room was big and very atmospheric. Lovely stay. Very good restaurant just below the castle, but not open on Monday. Within 15 minutes walking in a park from the nearest town, which is also closed on a Monday. Not enough staff. Difficult for them to provide the service that the property deserves. Management would do well to better invest in staff numbers and that would improve the service levels and create a better impression for guests. It is noticeable.
