Location is excellent. Breakfast is very good, breakfast room and outside terrace absolute tops. The building and its history are a rarity and it is magnificent. The bed was one of the very best I have ever encountered. And front desk staff is very helpful, arranged for castle visit and train tickets.
Nothing comes to mind.

We arrived, from Prague, via a driver.
A fine dining restaurant within the hotel, unless we somehow missed it.

The staff spoiled us rotten and treated us like royalty- from the front door to the breakfast daily and bar- they were amazing. The rooms were gorgeous. The beds were so good we could barely bring ourselves to get up in the morning. The sheets were like silk and I looked them up to buy- $1000 just for the sheets not counting duvet cover and shams. No wonder... Breakfast included very good French Champagne and our server Mladen was exceptional.
Nothing to not like here. It was perfect and no improvement can be suggested in any way.

I have stayed here several times in the past 5 years. The Concierge staff are splendid. Sunday brunch was delicious as always. I had become ill so Attila wheeled me into the brunch. They also obtained a front row ticket to the Opera the day I arrived from Barcelona. They also provided me with a chauffeur for a 7:45 flight back to my home town San Francisco.
No complaints.

Great historic property and we did alsorhe rour of the hotel including Marmorsaal and the Banquet Hall . Breakfast buffet at it’s finest and the Imperial Torte ( very old recipe) rivals the Sacher one. The rooms are larger than regular hotel rooms and the attention to detail and cleaning are exceptional Very helpful front desk personal handling restaurant reservations and booking shows at Opera , etc in a timely fashion
The furniture is mostly authentic but some pieces could benefit from an upgrade
