Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were tastefully furnished, and the peaceful ambiance created by the garden view was wonderful. However, some parts seemed outdated and in need of refreshing. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff going above and beyond to assist us. The location atop a hill overlooking the Danube provided breathtaking views, ideal for relaxation. The dining experience was a mix of exceptional choices and slight disappointments. Overall, a worth-considering option for a stay in this charming area of Europe.
This hotel offers a mix of comfort and captivating views, with rooms not being luxurious but very comfortable, showcasing outstanding views of the Donau River and rolling winery mountains. The bathroom is spotless and modern, and the decor blends traditional Austrian linen with touches of antiques and history throughout. The attentive service adds to the experience while the location atop a hill overlooking the Danube provides great views and is wonderful for exploring this historic area.
