Jagdschloss Hotel Niederwald in Rudesheim am Rhein

We stayed for a long weekend with the family. The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring Rüdesheim and its surroundings.
Our kids loved the pool and the "Wildtiergehege" with Bambis right outside.
The staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful.

We stayed in a Double room comfort with an extra bed which was perfect with our kids.
The Restaurant had lovely food, service and ambiance.

During our stay we walked a lot, also doing the "Romantik Tour". It was very nice.

Overall a perfect stay.
We will come again.

Perfect located, style and class wiht the warm personal touch in all services

Amazing place to stop for lunch. Amazing service and really good food. Totally the place to go for lunch before or after a hike. So many hiking options around in that area. Very family friendly. And a great wine selection too.

Hunting Lodge Hotel Niederwald – A Place of History, Soul, and Stillness

This region is full of special places – and one of them is surely the beautifully situated Hunting Lodge Hotel Niederwald, nestled quietly in the forest. The name alone carries a promise that the place fulfills with ease. But it’s not only the setting or the architecture that impresses – it’s what happened here, and what still resonates in the atmosphere today.

Something wonderful took place here: after the Second World War, democracy was reimagined in this very place. It became a site of encounter, diplomacy, and renewal. And when you come here today – not with noise, not with spectacle, but in stillness – you can feel that history beneath the surface. In the rooms, the woods, the air. It’s a gift to be allowed to rest in such a place.

What makes the Hunting Lodge so special today is not only its past – but how it is run. It’s not a faceless hotel operation, not a slick investor project. It’s a house with soul. A family-run hotel, slowly awakened again, with humility and love for the place. No high-gloss polish, no over-designed surfaces. Just an honest, quietly grown home for guests who value precisely that.

And at the heart of it stands not a distant manager, but – yes, it must be said – a queen. Frau Müller. For 25 years. But not a queen on a throne – a queen who sees everything. Who knows everything. Who thinks ahead, carries, supports. From the carefully laid breakfast table to the last light of the evening. From the smallest gesture to the biggest decision. With a far-sighted gaze and both hands in the middle of it all. A role so rarely seen – and even more rarely understood – she fulfills it with dignity, clarity, and true attentiveness.

That is what gives this place its soul. And even though it can hurt to see how easily some guests take it all for granted – how much care, effort, and heart is behind everything here – this remains a place of kindness. Because every day here is carried by commitment. By responsibility. And by the desire to protect something that has become quiet in today’s world: true hospitality.

Outside, fawns leap through the grass. Inside, tables are set – for celebrations, for reunions, for reconciliation. Because that’s why people come here: to celebrate. To reconnect. To come closer to life again. Perhaps to remember how precious connection is. And how rare.

A true family enterprise – in the deepest, most beautiful sense. A place to linger, to reflect, to be grateful. And a place that deserves respect.

Thank you for keeping it alive.

We always enjoy spending a few relaxing days at this idyllic hunting lodge. The stylish rooms, the cozy bar, the wonderful wellness area, the inviting breakfast buffet, the friendly service, and the game reserve right next door offer the perfect conditions for a wonderful vacation experience. Today, there was another plus. Glancing at the menu, I spotted "Wispertal trout" and ordered it immediately! It tasted delicious! The pork knuckle was also perfect.

This hotel was a unbelievable surprise as our family was walking along the famous Rheinsteig trail. The hotel and restaurant service were the best we have had in Germany in 10 years living here. The kids loved the pool overlooking the deer area, and the food was unbelievable in the restaurant. We will find an excuse to come back here again.

Loved it!
Loved this hotel!!!!! Quality. Wonderful room. Spacious, comfy and quiet. Great pool and sauna. Superb restaurant. Great food and wine. Slightly disappointing breakfast (limited). Awesome area with views and walks. I hope I get the opportunity to stay again.
