B&Bs in Wetzlar

Staying at Burg Hermannstein was an unforgettable experience! This 14th-century castle, lovingly restored by the wonderful owners, Betty and Lee, truly feels like stepping back in time. We stayed in the Rittersaal, which is located in the oldest part of the castle's tower (not the main building). Be prepared for the climb—around 80 stairs—but once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with a private, spacious tower all to yourself. It’s perfect for those looking for an authentic medieval experience, complete with a grand fireplace where you can make a fire to warm up the chilly stone walls. It really gives you a feel for what life in a medieval castle was like! The stay includes a simple yet satisfying breakfast with eggs, fresh bread and jam, and a selection of fresh fruit—an ideal way to start the day before exploring the grounds. And there’s plenty to explore! Beyond the main rooms, the castle has rooms filled with fascinating antiquities, like old weapons, furniture, and even a Kerker (dungeon). It’s an incredible treat for history buffs or anyone with a love of old-world charm. This is not a typical hotel stay. With just four rooms to rent, plus the owners' apartment, it feels more like you’re living in a historical monument. You’ll need to leave your room to access the bathroom unless you are staying in the Rittersaal, but that’s part of the experience of staying in an authentic castle setting. And as a bonus, six friendly resident cats roam freely, adding a cozy touch to the grand surroundings. We absolutely loved our time here and can’t wait to return to see the continued renovations. Betty and Lee are bringing this castle back to life, and we’re grateful to have been part of it, even for a short time. If you’re looking for a unique, rustic stay that lets you step directly into history, Burg Hermannstein is a must-visit.

Great room and very interesting place. Lee was very nice. A fun experience, hope to come back one day.

I you like to stay at a place out of the ordinary, go here. You're staying in an old castle full of old stuff. It is quite an experience! The owners are very helpful and nice.

With a 24h notice was possible for check in late / I planned arrive 8 but due to traffic arrived past midnight and all was arranged

Perfect place for a quiet night, good bed, clean room.

This was an excellent hotel and the breakfast was awesome and the owners were amazing. Typical German fare for breakfast, buns and cheese and meat with some yogurt, many choices of jam or jellies or honey and an egg and coffee tea and juice. The room was large, clean with attentive housekeeping staff and very quiet especially after 9:30 pm when the restaurant guests began to head home. The room had a good sized fridge and cook top. We appreciated the fridge but didn’t need to use the cook top during our stay. We also enjoyed a wonderful meal in the restaurant that was excellent in flavour with large portions and reasonably priced for the portion. We would definitely stay here again!

I was given a ride in a car to an alternate location.

The breakfast was good, the surroundings were quiet and comfortable. There was also something for vegans, although it was specially prepared on request.

very nice comfortabe cozy place. Amazing friendly kind and hospitable hostess!
