historic hotel in charming Durnstein
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely inn. Our room was spacious and comfortable. I could have stayed in all day to enjoy the view of the Danube. Dinner on the terrace was excellent and featured fresh and seasonal dishes. The breakfast buffet offered excellent variety and quality too.

Hotel is on beautiful grounds. Room was lovely and clean. It was very nice to have a nice outdoor balcony. Durnstein and the Wachau Valley is absolutely stunning. We rented bikes from the hotel for our three days while at the hotel....it was fantastic exploring the area, the bike paths are great! Only complaint is that the rooms do not have air conditioning and the weather was very hot....had to keep the sliding door open and because there was no screen it waa hard to keep flies out.

A beautiful hotel in the gorgeous town of Durnstein in the Wachua valley. This is what Napa Valley used to be. A must visit for the history and wine connoisseur.

We loved our 3-night stay in this charming historic hotel! We had a suite perfect for our family of four, a welcome respite after a long flight from the United States. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Be sure to take advantage of the bike rentals to ride along the path by the river, incredible views! We would love to return one day!

In the heart of Durnstein. Walking distance to numerous vineyards, including the Domane Wachau, which we highly recommend! The hotel has free parking and the staff was very helpful at assisting us through the little village and parking. Very beautiful grounds with lots of history.

Lovely historic hotel in Durnstein
This is a unique, wonderful hotel in a historic property in picturesque Durnstein. We enjoyed the beautiful grounds and pool and the unique hotel. The location is central in small Durnstein, which is a great homebase for exploring the Wachau Valley.

Very nice old historic hotel was a convent
Old historic hotel but clean comfortable rooms. New updated bathroom. Very nice grounds and outside eating patio. Breakfast was very nice. Lunch was disappointing. We had the Caesar salad with chicken. It was iceberg lettuce with about 11/2 to 2 ounces of chicken, 3 small cherry stone tomatoes cut in half. For 15 euros. The waiter also brought us 2 rollls that were brought to the table with the meal. When we received the bill we had to pay for the rolls, that should have been part of the meal. The draft beer was very good the glass of Riesling wine was fair. Not a good indication of what is produced locally. The waiter wanted us to buy a bottle. That would be a mistake. We were so put off by the skimpy salad we were afraid to have supper. We ate else were. Still a beautiful hotel in a great setting.

Magnificent location with limited welcome
I love to write favorable reviews. This hotel has wonderfully located directly on the Danube in a very small village. We loved the location, our room with a view, and the large pool in an expansive garden. BUT, with the exception of the housekeepers and one junior waiter, we felt unwelcome. We were baffled because this is a tourist destination but the hotel appears to have no culture of hospitality towards it's guests. The maitre'd was overtly rude and the owner wandered the halls scowling and muttering. She emerged to say a gracious goodbye but previous encounters with her had left us feeling as if we had somehow made a huge faux pas. We're seasoned travelers and go out of our way to be friendly and gracious. Didn't work for us this time.

enchanting experience
Wonderful environment-historic castle modernized for comfort but retaining ancient barrelled ceilings, chapel, antiques, walled gardens and pool. A fantastic restaurant with terrace garden overlooking the Danube. A chance to relax in splendor of "old Europe".
