If you want to visit the Wachau valley this is the place to stay. Tastefully renovated property with modern features while still maintaining originality. Incredible views. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Nice buffet breakfast with a wide selection of food choices. The main restaurant is good as well for dinner. There is an outside pool, which was too cold for me, and an indoor pool for those wanting warmer water. One of the most attractive indoor pool areas you will find. A terrific winery open for tastings was within walking distance. The area around the hotel is charming.
The charming, traditional Hotel Richard Löwenherz in Dürnstein welcomes you directly on the banks of the Danube. Here you can expect individual service in a wonderful historical ambiance.

There was a misunderstanding in our booking, but the host lady was very helpful and flexible, and solved it within few minutes and we got an even better accommodation. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, with nice garden and very romantic.
It's an old monastery that is the hallmark of the village.
It's an old monastery that is the hallmark of the village. The village is about one millenium years and has a fortress ruin overlooking it all. The forests and mountainous hills all around is a magic place for hikes and discovering amazing castles and churches.

Durnstein is a strange village; the old centre is attractive and interesting, but you get a feeling that it's a ghost town. It seems to exist for day trippers, and it doesn't have a life of its own. The only shops are tourist shops - no pharmacies, no grocery shops, no stationeries selling newspapers and magazines.... Some eateries close by 6pm and after that, it really is a ghost town.

Unfortunately there were some problems... .
The WiFi inside the room did not work. I have asked twice and it was fixed but for just a few hours... so I had to use my data plan on my phone.
Bed was very uncomfortable. It was a double bad but... with some board in the middle, with one side of bed being higher than the other part and squicking on every move in the bed.
The only way I could shower was if I was holding the shower had in my hand..... which made it impossible to wash properly my heir and.... water was splushing from defecting shower head.
Breakfast was great.... people were very nice but... I would not stay in this hotel again.

I stayed here with my wife, two young daughters, and my in-laws. We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. Everyone was so helpful and service oriented. The pool was perfect for us to relax in. The food is excellent at the restaurant and the views along the Danube are gorgeous.

Beautiful picturesque town in the Wachau valley.
Beautiful picturesque town in the Wachau valley. Lots of wineries nearby and some cute restaurants in the town itself. Very walkable. Touristy by day with people coming from Vienna but insanely quiet by night. We felt like we had the whole town to ourselves!
The location is exceptionally picturesque comprising endlessly terraced grape vines with the mighty Danube River in the foreground and deep green pine forested hills behind. The food in the region (Lower Austria) was sensational, the hosts were exceedingly friendly and welcoming, and the accommodation (fully contained apartment) was modern and immaculate. We definitely intend to return in the future.
Bioweingut Schmidl is in a very peaceful location but also very close to downtown Durnstein. The rooms are very large, comfortable and clean. The host, Theresa, was very friendly and accommodating. You can sit on the terrace and enjoy the views of the vineyards and the castle - it's amazing. We also tasted their wine and it was excellent as well as their breakfast. We just wish we had stayed longer.
The hotel is situated in the center of old town in winery region on the one side of Danube river. The view is superb. You can sit in the restaurant of the hotel which is another very nice adventure. In short: the restaurant is with high quality of service. We tried the menu with local fish which was prepared and served in very good way. I definetly recomend this place!
Loved the location - the property is located in the heart of charming Durnstein (much cuter than Krems and Melk to stay in). The rooms were spacious, comfortable, clean and exudes local charm. We were able to park in a parking lot about 5 minutes walking distance. Nothing we did not like! Lots of restaurants, stores, and a delicious bakery nearby!
Gästezimmer Rolea was a great place to stay with a very welcoming family, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. The house is in a great location on the edge of Durnstein and very walkable to the attractions in town. Breakfast was extensive (particularly for a smaller B&B), and the place is very dog friendly.
The apartment was located on the main street of Dürnstein. Given it was low season it was very calm. I can imagine the town gets very busy during spring/summer. The apartment was comfortable for 4 people and check-in and check-out was very smooth. Clean, spacious, good deal. To shower in the second bathroom is difficult but doable.
A beautiful old hotel with a lovely staff, located in a beautiful town.
We had a room with amazing view of the river and the inner court. The hotel have a fantastic restaurant with a terrace over the river, great food and great service. Very friendly for children.
They will to arrange every ask of us.
We liked very much Durnstein, hotel location and surroundings. The room was big and nice. The reception staff was excellent, especially Nina and Sylvia. They did everything to assist and helped to resolve every problem we had.
clean, easy parking, and appreciated how the staff took great efforts to book us a nice table for dinner by the waterfront as guests staying in the hotel, without even having to ask. delicious dinner
One of the nicest room we have occupied during our trip throgh Austria. Modern, clean and with a beautyful view over the vineyards and the castle of Dürnstein Excellent breakfast.
Location, the best in the whole Wachau :) silent and beautiful, close to Krems and Durnstein, great view, comfortable and unique furnishings plus sauna, terrace, wine cellar...
Wonderful breakfast, great location, 5 min walk downhill from Durnstein‘s main road. The room and en-suite bathroom was clean, there was a locked bike room.
