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!

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.

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.

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.

Veldig spesiell hotell som delvis ligger i det gamle klosteret i Dürnstein, i et bygg som tidligere tilhørte klosteret. Veldig kult interiør, enestående frokost og fantastisk beliggenhet i Dürnstein. Mye gode vin opplevelser rett ut døren; smaking god Domäne Wachau og middag på Küffer Keller er et must! Infobrosjyren på rommet forteller at de ikke har AC fordi murveggene er så tykke at det ikke er nødvendig - i juli 2024 stemte dette dessverre ikke. Vi måtte sove med altandør åpen, noe som hadde vært ok om det hadde vært litt kaldere ute (og om robotene (gress og basseng) hadde vært litt stillere). Men slik det var ble søvnkvaliteten sub-par.
