The hotel Highly not recommended. They charges a very high rate but offers very basic services. The room is spacious and has a beautiful view, but the equipment is standard and modest. There is no water kettle, no variety of soaps and no shower accessories. Breakfast is poor and not meticulous. We waited 10 minutes for scrambled eggs because the staff didn't notice they were gone. When we asked for a heater to heat a bit the room at night, they dont have any of those.

Fantastic if you like castles, and very nice if you are not a fan of castles.

Very nice rooms, although perhaps not as castle-like as I'd imagined. Draw the curtains and you're just at a nice hotel like any other.

Excellent breakfast buffet that set a decidedly unfair standard for any subsequent hotels i visit and a with a view that's hard to match.

Not a lot to see in the castle itself. Friendly staff with adequate English skills.

A very well maintained castle, it houses a hotel and a restaurant. Once through the gateway, you enter the main square and from there the terrace, which offers a spectacular view. Parking is charged for the car, entrance to the castle is free.

Just spent a night at Hotel Schloss Waldeck, and it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale! Perched high above the stunning Edersee, this historic castle offers breathtaking views, elegant rooms, and a magical atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charm of the medieval architecture, the warm hospitality, and the serene surroundings. Waking up to a panoramic sunrise over the lake was simply unforgettable! If you’re ever in the area and looking for a unique stay that blends history, luxury, and nature, I highly recommend Schloss Waldeck. #SchlossWaldeck #CastleStay #Edersee #MagicalMoments #GermanyTravel

I have just arrived but I am beyond excited! The room is nice and even has a fridge, which is rare in Europe, and a wonderful bathroom.

The views are amazing and there was an advertisement in the elevator to schedule a free massage (so I did and will know more about that tomorrow)!

Getting ready for dinner!

Beautifully, expensively renovated castle with the most wonderful view of the Edersee. Dinner was adequate but the upscale restaurant was closed. Staff very nice, friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable but the pillows were too big and bulky. Would strongly recommend the experience of staying here.

Location overlooking the Eder Dam, the castle buildings and various views available.

Worth the climb to take in the views and appreciate the castle' s architecture. Did not stay at the hotel but it must be one of a kind for those who can afford it.

A nice hotel to eat and sleep in, and it is located above Edersee. It has nice view from the terrace.
