Schloss Matzen

Totally unique experience! The castle is beautiful. We stayed during a snowstorm and it was magical. It felt like Narnia! Room was amazing, breakfast was great, staff was friendly and helpful! The grounds are beautiful with a perfect 30 minute walking loop. Probably took us longer because we were taking so many pictures. If you want a unique stay in a one of a kind property this is it. If you need an elevator and 24 hour reception go somewhere that isn't as special as Schloss Matzen.

Rooms were huge and comfortable Breakfast was fresh and yummyStaff was friendly and accommodating when we requested a room change.

Although the staff was very friendly, the front office wasn’t staffed which was a bit inconvenient. Be aware that there is no elevator in the castle and the top rooms require a lot of climbing to access.

we celebrated my 60's birthday here. The castle is beautiful and the garden full of blooms. It was mid September, weather was perfect that day. Our breakfast was included, and it was very delicious. What a magical time we had. Thanks to Schloss Matzen.

Castle easy to find with GPS. Adequate parking not far from entrance gate. Unique experience of staying in a real walled castle, large, comfortable room with a modern bathroom. Easy, after hours self check-in.

Lots of steep stairs inside may be a problem for people with mobility issues.

This was a major highlight of our trip. I wish we would have spent more than one night. They were so accommodating and friendly staff. The tower spa is a must!! We will be talking about this one for years.

Spending a night in an elegantly furnished medieval castle is a rare luxury that schloss martzen made possible

This property is beautiful! My room was very spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. They granted my request for a specific room and were great about communicating with me prior to my arrival. We were one of what appeared to be only two couples staying there which made our stay extra special. Despite only a few overnight guests that evening, our breakfast was still plentiful and delicious complete with a large number of choices. The attached photo reflects only a small fraction of the breakfast options. We spent time in each of the common spaces so we could enjoy as much of this huge castle as possible. There is a library, a courtyard, and a sitting area. The chapel was my favorite room. There is also a small park area outside with a walking path around a pond. A very good restaurant is located adjacent to the castle. I hope to return to Austria in the future and will definitely plan the visit so that my path includes Schloss Matzen. I miss being there already.

It was all perfect!

it’s really unique, the staff is friendly and the breakfast is great

the porter-figure in the room could go, in my opinion it’s a non- reflective reminder of oppression and a reproduction of stereotypes against POC

Unbelievable! Impeccable! Extreme attention to detail. And super clean. Staff was great and great breakfast!

The coffee pods in the room were 2€ each. I think you should offer free coffee in the room since breakfast doesn’t start until 08:30.

Staying at this hotel was a one-of-a-kind experience—like spending a night in an interactive museum, where you can touch each exhibit and feel like a part of history. You can take unique photos, read old books, and gain insight into what life was like in the castle. The surroundings are peaceful and picturesque, and I loved enjoying the mountain view through the window. Our stay was comfortable—the room was clean and fully equipped, and the breakfast was varied and nourishing. The Wi-Fi was occasionally slow, but it turned out to be a perfect opportunity for a digital detox. While having a car might be more convenient, we traveled by train, and reaching the castle on foot from the nearest station or by bus was not a problem. Overall, my expectations were exceeded, and I highly recommend spending a holiday at Matzen Castle.

Loved the spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Very clean. The antique furniture and fixtures were amazing. The entire hotel had hand painted walls. You must see the chapel and the library. The restaurant was very good. We stayed at the tip top room, if you can not handle stairs make certain to request a low level room.

No coffee maker or tea kettle in the room.

Staying comfortably in a medieval building is a rarity that is made possible here. The rooms are large and strive to respect the history of this ancient structure. The Schloss and grounds are romantic and fascinating. This is a great launching point for long walks and hiking in the surrounding area.

The grand wooden door into our room was cracked... big enough to look through. The breakfast room badly needs a renovation. Some of the large stag heads hanging in the breakfast room are falling apart and difficult to look at when eating breakfast. The breakfast experience was OK... should be great in a hotel like this. The coffee machine is too limited.

very beautifully decorated, and you feel like you are isolated in a castle

The bidet did not work and neither did the bathtub plus you had to carry up your luggage. They had many flights of stairs and it hurt my back.

Location was fantastic. Room was big and very atmospheric. Lovely stay. Very good restaurant just below the castle, but not open on Monday. Within 15 minutes walking in a park from the nearest town, which is also closed on a Monday.

Not enough staff. Difficult for them to provide the service that the property deserves. Management would do well to better invest in staff numbers and that would improve the service levels and create a better impression for guests. It is noticeable.

Location, atmosphere, furniture and view. Library is very special. Breakfast was good but not impressive

We were missing robes and slippers.

My husband and I spent the week in Austria and wrapped up our tour by watching the “almabtrieb,” or the Cows coming home celebration in Reith Im Alpbachtal. We found Schloss Matzen and immediately booked! We live in Germany now, so I have stayed at other castle hotels, but this is one of the best ones yet! Absolutely stunning! Amazing staff! Very easy to communicate via message or phone and in person. We arrived early the morning of the Cow festivities and asked if we could just park our car there since we would be staying, the lady said no problem and even checked us in right away. Very dog friendly as well. We loved being able to tour the Castle and eat dinner right there overlooking the Castle & pond. Great Breakfast also included. Amazing accommodations. ❤️?

Breakfast was OK, rooms large and comfortable

With the exception of one member of staff, the others were grumpy and cold. Even though our room was up 4 flights of stairs at the top of the castle, no one offered to help with our luggage. We were left outside for 10 minutes before someone would open the door even after repeated pressing of the bell.Breakfast was OK, but considering we paid £250 a night, being charged 4euros if we wanted an egg for breakfast left us feeling that all they care about is the money

Amazing location and unique rooms

The staff were so unfriendly it was rude. We did not feel welcome at all. There were also no amenities in the room. I would expect more from a hotel in this price range.

Amazing building, well restored. The room was large and comfortable and warm (the weather was very cold and rainy). The bathroom was enormous! You need to be fairly fit to get about but that was part of the charm. The breakfast was excellent.

It was a bit tricky to get in to the castle but the instructions provided did work. Maybe slightly bigger signage at the gate would help - the local taxi drivers didn't seem to know how to get in.We would have liked to have some way of making a hot drink - a kettle or hot water dispenser.

Stunning location, fabulous grounds, amazing room and areas of the castle to investigate like the formal dining room and the chapel. Great breakfast. Wonderful experience.

WiFi did not work well in the room. Had to sit outside the reception area to get good service.
