Wonderful gem near Melk Abbey.

During a recent road trip through Austria, we selected this hotel for it's proximity to Melk not realizing which a delightful town Emmersdorf is on it's own. It was such a treat to find this place. The hotel room was huge and very comfortable, there is a nice wellness area offering sauna, steam, and pools, and the breakfast which was included was excellent. It was easily accessible to Stift Melk and there were nice walks around. We ate dinner at the attached restaurant which was also excellent. Would definitely return to this lovely place.

Terrible.

Terrible service; the staff were rude and unhelpful. The balcony room was dark and extremely noisy overlooking the garage. There were flies in the the buffet breakfast. The hotel is several kilometers outside of Melk old town. Do yourself a massive favour and stay in Melk instead of here.

I loved this hotel in the picturesque little town of Emmersdorf. It is a very prety little town. Our room did overlook the restaurant and since there was no air conditioning we had our windows open. It was rainy so the outdoor seating was not in use, but if it had been I suspect it might have been a little noisy. As it was we were across from the church/school. Just before 7 we were awakened by the voices of the children and then the church bell rang for a good 3 minutes. That was fine with us as we wanted to be up and out, but for those who wanted to sleep in it might have been a problem. The restaurant at the hotel was very good and reasonably priced. It should be noted that Emmersdorf is across the river from Melk. We had thought that we could walk across the bridge to get back and forth, but it was longer and not a walkable route. There was a bus that ran, but at 2 E a trip that got to be costly. The boat trip on the river that left from Melk did stop at Emmersdorf if you "raised the flag."

Tolles Wochenende in der Wachau

Ein sehr schönes, gepflegtes traditionelles Hotel, das seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in Familienbesitz ist. Die Chefin ist die gute Seele des Hauses, die sich um alles kümmert - in unserem Fall um das Einfrieren unserer Kühlakkus für Medikamente. Sehr herzlich und freundlich war der Kontakt zu allen Mitarbeitern, denen wir begegnet sind. Das Restaurant ist absolute Spitzenklasse. Preis-Leistung stimmt, tolle Weinkarte, tolle Desserts, tolle Hauptgerichte. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig, Bad und WC in getrennten Räumen, alles sauber und sehr einladend. Trotz fehlender Klimaanlage in den beiden tropischen Nächten kühlen die alten dicken Wände des Gebäudes und der kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellte Ventilator. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden gerne wieder kommen. Nach einem eher unglücklichen Erlebnis in einem nahe gelegenen Hotel in Emmersdorf vor zwei Jahren hat uns dieses Hotel voll und ganz überzeugt.

Hotel mit Potenzial

Ambiente im Hotel angenehm, leider war das Frühstücksteam ( obwohl sehr freundlich) nicht in der Lage die Tische regelmäßig vom Geschirr zu befreien. Auch das Abendteam könnte durchaus mehr Umsatz lukrieren wenn den in kürzeren Abständen nachgefragt werden würde. Die Zimmer grösse war super, jedoch die Beleuchtung sehr düster. Ein Buch zu lesen faktisch nicht möglich. Das WC hatte leider starken Kanalgeruch und die Handtücher waren zum Teil schon sehr schleißig. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll ausgestattet.

فندق بمثابة متحف رائع ومميز وراحة تامة

الفندق رائع جداً حيث المبنى يريد عمره عن اربعمائة سنة ولكن من الداخل تم تجديده واضافة الديكورات المميزه، التسجيل والخروج كان سريع والموظفين ودوديين، الافطار كان بسيط ولذيذ، اما الغرف فلاول مرة اقيم في فندق به هذه المساحة الشاسعة، كانت الغرفة رائعة جداً والمفارش مريحة، استمتعنا بكل جزء في الفندق يصلح للافراد والعائلة مع اطفال، ولكن للامانه الفندق بعيد عن مركز المدينة والمشوار الواحد للاجرة يكلف ١٥€ ذهاباً ومثلها اياباً.
