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.

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.

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.
