Hotel Schloss Dürnstein, hotel in Dürnstein

Hotel Schloss Dürnstein enjoys a unique location on a rock high above the Danube River, at the heart of the Wachau World Heritage Site, offering a restaurant with a terrace overlooking the Danube and...

The staff at this hotel was phenomenally attentive -- especially Isabel, who took great care of us. It is in the heart of Duernstein and it is certainly worth the splurge. The rooms were very large and the views were fantastic. I was originally worried about parking, but they had plenty of room for it. We had some rain on our first day and so the indoor pool was a huge hit with the kids. Definitely would stay here again.

    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... .

    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 place is modernly furnished, and our room was spacious and fully equipped with plenty of storage space. We were pleasantly surprised to find basic ingredients such as salt, oil, and others in the kitchen. The accommodation is conveniently located right by the river, providing a refreshing place to cool off during the summer. Additionally, Dürnstein is within walking distance, offering a pleasant stroll through the vineyards. Free parking is available right in front of the accommodation. The owners were nice and friendly.

    This hotel exemplifies the history and character of the Wachau region in general and Durnstein in particular. The staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable, the rooms are spacious, there are prints, etchings and paintings everywhere - showing off the history of the region and giving it context. The pool is lovely, the dining and wines exemplary, and the views of the river superb. An absolute treat!

    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.

    The location, the location and once more the location, it is perfect. Just about 150 m from the Hotel Schloss Dürnstein and as close to the Donau as possible and parking on site. What else could you ask? Of course, Donau Radweg. But at the Gästehouse Stöger the cycle road is just outside the door. And you have a garage for the bikes. Breakfast is also very good.

    We actually stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and loved every minute. Everything was well done, well cared for and it was all exceptional. We would recommend it! The food is delicious, we ate dinner every night at the hotel, the staff and everyone involved in the hotel are gracious and always willing to help. We would definitely recommend the hotel to others.

    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.
