Escape to Fairytale Germany: BurgBlick Hotel - My Honest Review (Plus, Maybe You Should Book It)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to take you on a wild ride through my experience at BurgBlick Hotel in Germany. Forget those sterile travel reviews – this is the REAL deal, the messy, honest, sometimes hilarious truth about a place selling fairytale dreams. And let me tell you, after spending some time there, maybe, just maybe, those dreams are actually worth buying into.
First, the Buzzwords (For SEO and My Sanity):
- Keywords: BurgBlick Hotel, Germany, Castle Hotel, Luxury Hotel, Accessibility, Spa, Pool with a View, Fine Dining, Romantic Getaway, Family Friendly, Castle Views, Wheelchair Accessible, Romantic Hotel
- Target Audience: Travelers seeking luxury, romantic getaways, accessible travel, families, and anyone dreaming of a fairytale experience.
- Overall Vibe: A blend of luxury, relaxation, accessibility, and maybe a touch of "pinch me, is this real life?"
Let’s Get to It – The Hotel, The Castle, The… Stuff
So, BurgBlick. You see the pictures, right? Towering castle perched on a hill, overlooking… well, views that make even the most cynical travel blogger go, "Whoa." And let me tell you, the reality mostly delivers.
Location, Location, Location (and a Little Bit of a Climb):
Okay, confession time: I’m not exactly Bear Grylls. The hotel is perched atop a hill, so be prepared for a bit of a journey up. They do offer airport transfer, which is worth every single penny. The views are… breathtaking. Seriously. I spent a good hour just staring out the window, feeling like a medieval queen. Did I also attempt to do a cheesy Instagram pose with the castle, the gorgeous view, and the very nice people at the hotel? Guilty as charged.
Accessibility – A Huge, HUGE Win:
One of the biggest things that stood out was the commitment to accessibility. This is not always a given in older, historical buildings. They did a fantastic job. Wheelchair accessible? Absolutely. Elevators, ramps, and adapted rooms meant my companion with mobility issues enjoyed the entire experience. The hotel even has a convenient parking situation available on-site. Now, this is super important. The world really does need more hotels making an effort in this area and BurgBlick earns major brownie points for that.
Things to Do & That Amazing Pool With a View (Spoiler: It Slays):
Okay, let's be real. I spend most of my time at the hotel in the pool and the Spa.
- The Pool with a View: I’m still dreaming about the views. I think I spent about 4 hours the first day, floating around in the heated water, gazing at the rolling hills and the castle, the sun hitting your skin…just perfection. My only complaint? It should have come with a butler offering unlimited cocktails.
- The Spa: The sauna and the steamroom were excellent. I couldn't pass up the chance for a massage. Highly recommend.
Relaxation & Pampering:
- Body scrub and Wrap: You absolutely must indulge in the spa. They're great!
Cleanliness & Safety (Because 2024):
They take this seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Room sanitization between stays? Check. Staff trained in safety protocols? Check. I felt genuinely safe and comfortable, which is HUGE for peace of mind. They also offer the option to opt-out of room sanitization which is good. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Absolutely.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Food, Glorious Food:
I am a massive foodie and I love trying everything.
- Breakfast: The buffet breakfast was a thing of beauty. Fresh pastries, local cheeses, eggs cooked to order, fresh juices – the works. Breakfast in room is also available, so if you want to wear a bathrobe all day, that's fine.
- Restaurants: I had dinner in the main restaurant, and it was amazing! Incredible international and Western cuisine and the staff were super friendly. I can recommend the A la carte and the vegetarian menus.
- Bars: Happy hour is a must. Poolside bar is a necessity.
- Room Service: 24-hour room service is a HUGE plus. Seriously.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Make a Difference:
I love all extra services, it's the little touches that stand out.
- Facilities for disabled guests: They're outstanding. I can't say enough about the accessibility efforts.
- Daily housekeeping: Spot on.
- Concierge: Super helpful. They arranged everything from a taxi to a wine tasting.
- Luggage storage: Convenient.
- Gift/souvenir shop: Good for last-minute presents.
- Laundry and Dry Cleaning: Excellent.
For the Kids (I'm Not a Parent, But I Saw It!):
- Family/child-friendly? Yes! They had kids facilities and a babysitting service. The staff were warm and welcoming to families.
Rooms: My Castle Within a Castle:
The rooms. Oh, the rooms. I splurged on a room with a castle view (duh). It had air conditioning, a mini bar, a coffee/tea maker, and a safe box. The bathrobes were fluffy, the bed was comfy, and the slippers were ridiculously soft. I also noted the non-smoking rooms. I loved the blackout curtains. Seriously. I slept like a baby. The complimentary tea made my day too. The wake-up service was good.
Getting Around:
- Airport transfer: Definitely use it.
- Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]: Free and on-site.
The Minor Niggles (Because No Place is Perfect):
- The Wi-Fi could sometimes be a little spotty, but honestly, that's a minor quibble compared to the overall experience. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!
- The hotel is not a 'city hotel', is more of a country hotel, so don't expect to walk anywhere.
The Verdict: Book it, or Don't, But I'm Pretty Sure You Should:
BurgBlick Hotel isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience. Is it perfect? No. But the good far outweighs the minor imperfections. The fairytale setting, the luxurious amenities, the commitment to accessibility, and genuinely lovely staff make this a truly special place.
My Honest Recommendation:
If you're looking for a romantic getaway, a family escape, or simply a luxurious retreat, BurgBlick Hotel is worth every penny. It's a chance to step into a storybook and create some unforgettable memories.
My Emotional Reaction:
Leaving BurgBlick felt like saying goodbye to a dream. I'm already planning my return. Seriously.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is Land-gut-Hotel BurgBlick, Germany, through the eyes of a totally-not-professional traveler (that would be me!), and it's going to be… well, a ride.
Day 1: Arrival - Or, The Great Pretzel Debacle
- Time: Let's just say "sometime-ish." I'm terrible at mornings, especially after a red-eye. The flight was fine… until I realized my noise-canceling headphones died halfway through. Ugh.
- Arrival: Frankfurt Airport. Okay, smooth sailing, passport control was surprisingly… efficient. But then comes the train. And the luggage. My suitcase, bless its heart, is currently the size of a small elephant.
- Train to BurgBlick: Beautiful scenery! Rolling hills, those ridiculously cute half-timbered houses… It's all very idyllic. But, and here's the kicker: I've clearly misunderstood the pretzel situation. Everyone else on the train is happily munching on these GIANT, perfectly formed pretzels, and I'm stuck with a sad, pre-packaged grocery store pretzel (which, let's be honest, probably tastes of sadness and regret). Okay, lesson learned: PRETZEL RESEARCH IS CRUCIAL. Next time, I'm hitting a bakery IMMEDIATELY.
- Land-gut-Hotel BurgBlick Check-in: The hotel… charming. Absolutely charming. Think fairytale village. The staff is super friendly, though my German is… well, let's just say my attempts at ordering a coffee caused a minor language barrier-induced crisis. Apparently, "Ich möchte Kaffee" can mean anything from "I desire coffee" to "I am secretly a coffee-obsessed alien." (I'm pretty sure the confused look I got was the latter.)
- Afternoon: Settling in. The room is lovely, overlooking… a field! Literal, actual, green grass field. I'm pretty sure a cow mooed just now. Is this… real life? Anyway, unpacking. Half the suitcase is still unpacked because I'm still trying to figure out where the socks go.
- Evening: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. Ordered the schnitzel, because, Germany! And the local beer. Oh. My. Word. The beer. Pure, glorious, liquid gold. I'm already planning my next beer-drinking experience. Schnitzel was… well, perfect. Crispy, savory, breadcrumbs. My tastebuds have ascended.
- Bedtime: Trying to figure out if the pillows are secretly filled with goose down (they probably are). Struggling to stay awake, but I'm determined to fight the jetlag. I'll probably fail.
Day 2: Castle Chaos & A Currywurst Confession
- Morning: Woke up. Maybe. Definitely had a dream about giant pretzels.
- Breakfast: The breakfast buffet. Oh. My. Goodness. So much deliciousness. I'm pretty sure I ate my weight in cheese, bread, and little sausages. The coffee was a vast improvement over my earlier coffee encounter.
- Morning Actvity: Castle Exploration: Ah, a castle! I'd always imagined myself as the adventurous type but stairs are the enemy. I spent an hour walking up the winding staircase, gasping for air the entire time. But the view from the top? INCREDIBLE. Swept away, I was. The stories of medieval jousting.
- Lunch: Okay, so the pretzel situation is still weighing on me. I found a little bakery (praise the heavens!) and bought one. It was… better, but still not the perfect, the-stuff-of-dreams pretzel I'm craving. However, I coupled it with a Bratwurst. It was the most delicious. I'm starting to think this Germany trip is just a pilgrimage of food.
- Afternoon: I decided to take a stroll around the village. The local shops are adorable. I bought a cuckoo clock even though I'm not sure I can quite get the hang of it.
- Evening: The original plan was to go for fine dining. However, it was then when I was hit by the cravings of a lifetime: currywurst. I had to find a place that made that. The place was messy, with tables and chairs. But the taste! The glorious currywurst. The wurst was cut on the spot. The curry and the sauce was unique. It's a perfect bite, it's spicy, the sauce is hot, and the fries are crispy. It was then that I knew, that I would make sure I eat this for the rest of my life.
- Bedtime: I was dreaming of currywurst and pretzels. And the cuckoo clock's cuckooing. Oh dear.
Day 3: Relaxation and Departure (Maybe?)
- Morning: Lazy start. Decided I needed to sleep in a bit after my currywurst adventure.
- Breakfast: Back to the buffet. Seriously, how is everyone so cheerful this early? Where do they keep this much energy.
- Morning Activity: Spa Treat: A massage! The hotel has a lovely spa. I felt like a limp noodle for the next hour.
- Lunch: Had some of the local beer in the sun. And of course, a pretzel. I think I'm starting to get the hang of the pretzel-eating experience.
- Afternoon: Starting to pack. Okay, this is what I'm thinking… I'll be staying a few more days. I extended my stay.
- Evening: Went for a walk through the beautiful gardens. I think I will be staying here. This place is just too peaceful to leave.
Day 4 - to Infinity:
- (Continue with above, but repeating for the rest of the days. Every day, include a pretzel)
Important Notes & Imperfections:
- Language: My German is awful. Please forgive any misinterpretations.
- Packing: I'm a terrible packer. Expect outfits that don't match and shoes worn with the wrong clothes.
- Food: Expect food-related obsessions. I have a feeling this trip is going to be 90% eating.
- Emotional Rollercoaster: I'm prone to sudden bursts of joy and existential angst. Buckle up.
- Pretzels: I’m still on the search for the Perfect Pretzel. It’s possibly the defining challenge of this trip. Be prepared for pretzel-related updates.
I’ll try to remember to update this. No promises. Also, if you see me, feel free to offer me a pretzel. I will probably accept. Wish me luck! (And send me more beer.)
