Gastehaus Schloss Saareck

Very imposing Schloss( castle) that was originally the family home of Villroy and Boch. We only stayed one night, took a diversion to stay there on way home. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The room was very comfortable, with nice views over the grounds.. Provided water, toiletries, hairdryer etc. Imposing main hall and beautiful panelled ballroom and dining room. Mettlach is a small town with a few restaurants and Villroy and Boch outlet centres. It is on a river. We had a comprehensive breakfast with a lot of choice and all of the freshest ingredients. Would thoroughly recommend.

A beautiful property and a stunning room overlooking the river Saar. Impeccable food and drink, attentive and friendly staff. Delightful surroundings including walking access to the Saarscheife river cruise. Great reception, breakfast and room service.

A fantastic place, maintained with love for every detail. It simply exceeded all expectations. If you are in love with old stones and authenticity, spending a day or two at Saareck will be a great experience.

We stayed with family (2 adults and 2 children) for 2 nights in Dec 2021. Hotel is located in Mettlach which is a Headquarters of world-famous porcelain/crystal manufacturer Villeroy&Boch. So no wonders that hotel itself is a castle built in 1902 as the residence of the Boch family combining late gothic and renaissance elements, which was turned into hotel in 1950s. December is very nice time to stay as hotel is nicely decorated for Chris**as with V&B figurines which you can find all over the place. Castle stands in the huge park just opposite V&B Headquarters located in ex-Monastery on the other bank of the Saar river. When you enter you immediately can see nice main staircase leading you to the gorgeous Lobby with fireplace and plush sofas. Hotel has 22 rooms and all they are completely different - only having one thing in common - all Bathroom furniture/fittings and even tiles are from V&B :) Our family are great fans of V&B brand so no wonders when we became aware of the existence of such place we decided to stay here and we were not disappointed. Place is really beautiful with a lot of ambience and all world charm. Rooms are tastefully decorated and one can choose between different styles. All rooms have their own names. We stayed in Santos room (which is one of their 2 Junior Suites and the only 2 room Suite they have), which we liked as it also did fit our family of 4 very well. It has quite big bathroom and nice 5 windows overlooking park and partially river. At the same time, we were lucky enough as on the day of our check-out we were leaving hotel last and no rooms were booked for next day so I did manage to see all rooms i wanted - briefly - Cannes is probably the biggest of Deluxe rooms, definitely one with best views as has very large windows overlooking river), London and Berlin are equally nice with same views, and Nice also has small balcony overlooking river, however all those 3 has smaller windows. Aureus - is probably the best in terms of ambience (views though are not so nice), finally Nanking is romantic Junior Suite with biggest and nicest bathroom and huge windows (overlooking though side opposite to river :) , beware though this is the only room which doesn't have shower only big free standing bath. Worth mentioning that although hotel has small elevator it can be used only for luggage, guests will need to use stairs to come to their rooms - which in my opinion only adds to the nice castle a**osphere, however worth noting for those with limited abilities. Room rate always includes breakfast which is served in very 2 very beautiful castle rooms and of course using V&B dinnerware :) Breakfast is excellent with wide variety of high-quality products. We also did have 2 dinners in the hotel - as on both evenings there were several parties (incl 1 wedding and several pre-Chris**as parties) we did eat in separate dining rooms -which was also very intimate and nice experience. Food was excellent! Staff is very friendly and

We stayed here for three nights in the Montgolfier room on the third floor. We are good walkers/climbers and do not mind many floors of stairs, but the website should state that the accommodation is not for people with mobility handicap. The lift is only for luggage. The reception was very friendly, and indicated us that there were many nice walks in the neighborhood, but without any detailed information, except for referring to a website. No maps or so available. We got that only at 11:00 hrs at the tourist information in town. Surprisingly the Villaroy and Boch experience center was closed already for a long time, but nothing was mentioned on their website. We looked forward to have a chateau-dinner, but dinner was only served Friday and Saturday, an information not available on the website. With the Corona measurements and winter season dinner facilities outside were very poor (pizza or Chinese). Hotel information on restaurants was scarce. The room itself was nicely decorated, but the timber floor was extremely cracking in several locations. Also a nail was slightly sticking out, no damage done. Queen size bed and only a single supply of shampoo-shower gel for three nights. The Friday dinner was very nice and the wine excellent. Breakfast was good with very decorative Villaroy and Boch porcelain.
