The surroundings are absolutely phenomenal. A castle itself, like many others, but the surrounding views and nature are fabulous. You can also visit the stud farm and the underground bunker built by the Nazis. I definitely recommend it.
Hotel: very cooperative and nice staff. Breakfast until 10 a.m., checkout until 11 a.m. The room we stayed in was in former old castle utility buildings. Disabled people may have difficulty moving around the area.
Hotel Książ is located 40 metres from the beautiful Książ Castle and offers warmly decorated rooms with free Wi-Fi and a TV. There is a 24-hour front desk service and a garden.

If visiting the castle, this is one of three lodgings on Ksaiz Castle grounds. It is a beautiful location, very peaceful and it felt like we were guests of the castle. Because you are on Castle grounds, it is very convenient to book tickets and be the first guests in, when the Castle is quieter and less crowded.
Offering an indoor pool and a fitness centre, Aqua-Zdrój is located in Wałbrzych, close to the city centre and 2 km from the train station. Free Wi-Fi access is available, as well as the pool.

I enjoyed the beautiful views from the viewing towers on the nearby hills (Chelmiec, Borowa, Wzgorze Gedymina). But hiking in this area is not easy. The hills are not very high, but the paths are often very steep and difficult to climb.
Restaurants offer a good choice of craft beers. These are generally very good, on contrary to the standard beer production. I can recommend Coolturalna Moontownia (in the old mine area), Zlota Stacja (in the city center) and Jedlinka brewery.
At the beginning, I struggled figuring out how to pay for the city transport. In theory, you can buy tickets at the driver but on one occasion the driver was very rude at me when I did not have the exact change. The best possibility is to pay with card. It is easy but first you have to find a special small round black and yellow device, located usually at the middle door. The orange devices around the bus just stamp the paper tickets.
The old mine area is fancy and do not forget to visit it if you like industrial sights.

Excellent Castle, very interesting underground tour, good breakfast, good view of castle from our window. We walked to the Hotel through the forest from the bus stop which was lovely, However we got the no 8 bus at the gate directly back to the train station at Walbrzych. Should have got train from Wroclow to Walbrzych not Swiebodzice where we had to get the No 1 bus then walk through the gate and forest to the hotel.

the old town in Wałbrzych is very small and we thought we would be bored. However, there are very interesting things to see a little way away, Zamek Książ, the Palmiarnia and Stara Kopalnia, all easily accessible by bus. We also visited Jelenia Góra which has a bigger old town and is touristy, easy to access by train. We picked Wałbrzych as access to Jelenia Góra and Kłodsko are so easy. We ate at Pasaż which has Polish food. We also ate at Frettza Pizza and the sushi place, both good. I ate at Bar Pierożek, a milk bar near Pan Tadeusz, which was ace - but I always go on my own :)

Beautiful city, covering a few valleys and stretching rather far. It was a real jewel once. There are signs of decay which happened after WWII unfortunately. These may add to an overall romantic and mystic vibes of this place. The mountains are well worth a few days of hiking. But also the explorations of the hidden corners of the old city. The castle (the largest one amongst many others located here) is famous but way overcrowded: couldn't get to it. But I'm definitely going to revisit this charming place.
This hotel was an absolute dream. So close to the castle and just beautiful. It felt like you were staying in a fairytale cottage. Room was spacious, very clean and had a beautiful view. The hotel also had a restaurant downstairs which served delicious food. Staff was all very kind, friendly and helpful. Also, the breakfast buffet was five stars, absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend people visiting Zamek Ksiaz or even just Poland stay here.
It was a great stay in Wałbrzych. The host reached out to us upfront to agree on what time to meet to handover the keys, show the apartment and the parking place. When the person didn't speak English, they called the actual host to be able to explain everything properly who then later came back for a coffee machine and to show us the parking. She really made the extra effort. For us, the place was more than we needed and we had a great stay.
Everything was great. The hotel is super clean which is rare nowadays, the restaurant serves really good food. The owner is nice and welcoming, he has a lot of stories about the building and the Walbrzych area. The attention to detail in the hotel is amazing, our room had beautiful art on the furniture painted manually.
Friendly check-in. On-site parking for a minimal fee. The dining options seemed a bit limited, but that is not the fault of the Hotel. To visit the Castle, this is really an excellent option for convenience and to access the numerous hiking trails in the area.
Great breakfast for the price, excellent location for the trips around Lower Slezia, because the hotel is only 7 -10 minutes from the railway station Wałbrzych Centrum, also very close (max 5 minutes) to public transport.
Great place to stay near Ksiaz ! amazing location , very cozy and clean rooms , welcoming and helpful host! breakfast was delicious , so I highly recommend you to order that before your stay
Very unusual place due to it's origin as a coal mine. Room i stayed in was larger and had a different layout compared to what im used to in most hotels - i found it very comfortable.
Staying on the grounds of Ksiaz Castle was so convenient, we got to explore before the day trippers came! Lodging was basic but cosy and comfortable and the breakfast was good.
Pet allowed is the advantage of the hotel. Location is very good, close to Zamek Ksiaz and Church of Peace.
Parking is just in front of the entrance, very convenient.
Staying in this hotel, was like staying in a castle. The view was amazing and the staff were super sweet and helpful. I would happily stay here, again.
