Our stay was very nice and the architecture of the castle turned our getaway in an unforgettable experience.
There are some things that can be improved such as the AC and an outlet didn’t work. The hot tub in the SPA is a little outdated.
The Lobby Restaurant and the Italian Restaurant were very nice and elegant. The staff is very friendly.
Nice pool/spa area. At times it feels lime a maze but the Palace is beautiful. Note that it isn't isolated. You're in a suburban area really, with grocery stores and more affordable restaurants. Great venue for a wedding
This is a fantastic hotel to stay at the staff are courteous and go out of their way to help. The dining is fantastic with lots of great options on the menu and a great wine selection.
A beautiful hotel! Lovely grounds! Breakfast buffet was amazing! Truly enjoyed our stay, which my siblings and I booked in honour of our father, who stayed here many decades ago
Our stay at Schloss Bensberg was great, we wish we could have stayed longer. It’s an excellent hotel and we will gladly stay here again if we are in the area. The staff were great.
We only stayed one night here to relax in the Spa after an eventful weekend. The service is really good and the hotel is quiet for its size. The spa area was very nice. Unfortunately, Vendôme was not bookable but their Italian restaurant was lovely. The breakfast was good, a lot of variety but we had better in other 5 star hotels. All in all we had a great time and would come again for a quiet getaway.
Great setting, great building, spa and indoor pool area fantastic and staff very nice and extremely helpful, particularly the lady on reception who kindly recharged my phone whilst I was in the spa.
The breakfast was amazing. The uniqueness of the food offerings and assortment was perfect. The large soaking tub was nice.
Nice dinner/lunch food choices right out side as well. There is a Rewe about 1km away in case you need any supplies.
Impressive palace setting, with sweeping views to Cologne, great amenities including pool. Famous also for its dining which I unfortunately did not get to experience on this journey.
Beautiful building
Great food and beverage options
Convenient fitness room
Pleasant staff
Staff did not greet at door to assist with bags and did not thoroughly orient to room nor facilities
This is an amazing hotel in an old, historical property. The staff were helpful, professional and spoke excellent English. There are plenty dining opportunities. The rooms were clean, the bedding comfortable and nice. Extra bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend this place!
This is a very impressive hotel. No detail is left out. From the service on check in to the restaurant and bar all was excellent. Be sure to make dinner reservations as it was booked on our arrival. However, we had a great meal and exceptional service having dinner at a hi top on the bar.
A true classic, five star hotel with everything you could wish for and Amelia functioning perfectly.
From the furnishings to the layout to the views to the location to the grounds, even to the small town just steps outside of the hotel property it is paradise. Add to this add to this the extraordinary restaurant offerings and proximity to cologne by urban transit. It makes for an extraordinary stay.
