Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg

This is a beautiful, updated to perfection huge castle. The rooms were very spacious and designed magnificently! We had the 4000 sq ft Presidential Suite and the 1000 sq ft large suite with living room, both were the very best of the best rooms anywhere in the world! The service was good. The food was good.

Just had an amazing experience here. The views are stunning. The whole place gives you a majestic vibe. I had an amazing burger as well as beer with dessert in the restaurant. Top notch food and service

It's a bit far from Köln , but the hotel is grand, breakfast is quite delicious and luxurious. All in all, an amazing place

Stunning venue for your private event or wedding for sure. It's a little out of the way from Cologne and Bonn, but certainly a good stop over for cross continental drivers.
The grounds and the hotel are stunning and staff are very kind and acoomodating.

Here again, I have to stress that it's rather a couples and business hotel rather than a family one. Even though their rooms are very spacious and perfect for a larger family, there aren't any facilities to cater for little ones. Even in the pool area, we were told multiple times to keep the kids quite (who ever has succeeded keeping two 2year olds and a 5 year old quiet in a pool, I need to know)
Breakfast had a great selection of cold and warm buffet, here again, dirty looks towards noisy children. Room service for kids dishes was good, two different pastas and Schnitzel.

Otherwise, the bar was very nice and offered a vast selection of steak cuts and selected wines.

All in all good hotel, worth a visit if around or wait for their sister hotel Dom to open in city centre Cologne.

It's a great place to spend a weekend and feel yourself as a Duke 😁
Very spacious rooms, fine smell of bath cosmetics, a lot of space around. Beautiful sight seeing from the highpoint of castle 🏰. it's also a great place for conferences.

Beautiful Hilltop Castle, with incredible views day and night. Service was impeccable, really really appreciate everything they did before and after our wedding day. They offered us extra room to do my wife's hair and makeup. It was an extremely hot day and they gave us access to one of their Saals to do our wedding photos in. They have a beautiful outdoor garden area with seating for a drink, coffee, or food. The spa and wellness we will have to come back and try in the near future.

Wonderful SPA getaway. From start to finish everything was superb. The spa is lovely, food is excellent (skip the late night menu, it’s not so good) the staff go above and beyond. The suites are large, spacious & classically beautiful. Top service all the way around. will definitely return.

Luxurious stay in beautifully renovated castle with tons of history. From the pool to the view from the gates and the room, breathtaking!

We absolutely loved this hotel and will be back for another visit soon! The rooms were spacious and very clean. We stayed there with our 5 year old and 10 month old. When the hotel found out that the baby was with us, they left all kinds of goodies for the baby in our room...a pack n play, a diaper pail, baby toiletries, a baby spa robe and even baby slippers! So thoughtful! The bathroom was a spa unto itself; I could've locked myself in the bathroom and been perfectly happy! :) The pool is open for children from 2-4 daily so it limits kiddo swim time but it worked out. There is plenty to do within walking distance of the hotel and there is even a playground on the grounds as well. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. As a side note: this is an old world castle. With that being said, the roads are not paved (in the American sense) and the layout in the hotel is a little wonky (stairs that don't connect and elevators that only go to certain floors), so if you are travelling with a stroller, keep that in mind. It definitely would not keep me from visiting and is manageable, but had I known in advance, I would've packed lighter. :) Stay here...you won't regret it!

Super well maintained castle and hotel. The place is a part of the 100 best hotel in Germany 2022/2023. Super easy to reach. Clear and fresh. Rooms are lovely. All details are under the control. Lovely spa area. Stuff at reception and in cleaning service is outstanding, stuff and terrace and breakfast at weekend was super disappointing and they were concentrated on themselves + technically they did not manage to keep standards during weekend on breakfast: different colors of plates, different shapes of teapots, dirty teacups, lack of teacups (even it is provided by tea producer for free), on Monday all was much better: from service till equipment. In general we are satisfied with staying and do realise there is a huge problem with service people in Germany now.

Amazing place, where I have only been for the brunch on Sundays which it’s incredible elegant

One of a kind. Unique architecture and beautiful interiors to explore. Really helpful and friendly service -- they even offered to plug in our EV when I forgot. Food choices were excellent, and restaurant staff were very knowledgeable. Only regret was staying only one night. Will be back again.

Amazing venue for events
Good service. Not very flexibles
It was a palace before thus it is fascinating.

La long options to grab food and have meals between schedule meals.

Far from Cologne.

I was so happy with our room, the decoration, the bed and everything inside our room. Exploring the castel was also a nice experience. The pool was too crowded on Saturday, with a lot of kids while their noses were running!!! So if you prefer a more relaxed, more quiet and more hygienic pool-experience I suggest to plan for weekdays or non-summer holidays. The massage experience was fantastic and all of the hotel staff were extremely polite and nice. The most satisfying thing was the room service, top-noch services.

We were treated very kindly. From our first contact at the front door to a warm handshake and photos on the exit……

Just so special.

I was absolutely impressed when I arrived to this beautiful hotel ,my first time in Germany.
And I really felt like Cinderella there,the room spacious, comfortable, quiet and a delicious food .
2 amazing days enjoying life and amazing place.
I will come back for sure!!
Thank you Althoff Grandhotel Staff !!!

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. Every detail is carefully thought of. Well trained staff, delicious breakfast and above all great atmosphere.

The hotel is located in a beautiful building and rooms are decorated in the same stile. We loved it! There is a picturesque view as the area around the hotel is very nice and 10 km walking route is located nearby. The only thing we found not pleasant is that due to weddings held in the hotel other guests might feel some inconvenience. For example, our room was close to one of the conference rooms and we were asked to keep silence once we went out our room as there was some activity there. Or we couldn't get back to the hotel lately in the evening because of fireworks and we had to wait in front of main gates until it was finished and all stuff was put away. Well, it could have been completely fine for us if we were somehow notified about these things at reception during check in. But except this, we enjoyed our staying and had a great time in Spa and listening piano in the bar outside the hotel.

It is a beautiful place, nice sinery and ellengant building. I like the low key 5 stars chic deco, the combination with so many beautiful chandeliers creates a fine balance. I also like the breakfast area . It was quite busy but everything still imanaged in a good order.

We use this beautiful hotel when we attend a special dining event at the hotel. This time we participated in their champagne Sunday brunch. Highly recommended, even the flies liked it.
