It was a lovely stay; the city of Spitz far surpassed my expectations. The property was exactly how I would have liked my days in the Wachau Valley to be: a small, friendly place with local aesthetics and presence and apricot gardens. I would stay in Spitz any day rather than in Krems or Melk. The Wine terrace above the city is such a hidden gem. Well connected to Melk, Dürnstein, or Krems, within a 15-20 min driving distance. The Danube is a 2-minute walk away, as is the ferry boarding point. Would love to visit again.

A Truly Magical Stay – Warm, Charming, and Impeccably Clean Hotel Ur-Wachau is nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in warmth and elegance. The charm of the historic building, the attention to detail in every corner, and the genuine hospitality make it a rare gem. The rooms are spotless—truly pristine. I even sat in the beautiful breakfast room trying to spot anything made of plastic, just out of curiosity, and found nothing. Everything is thoughtfully chosen, beautifully maintained, and deeply authentic. Breakfast was a highlight—local flavors, homemade delicacies, and served in what feels like a fairytale chapel. The whole experience radiates care and intention. If you’re looking for a place that’s serene, inspiring, and truly sustainable, look no further. I can’t recommend it enough. Just wow.

The staff was very welcoming. The hotel was very charming. Good spacious rooms, nice restaurant! Location was ideal to explore the valley.

Beautiful hotel set in a historic building right in the centre of Weissenkirchen. The room was tastefully furnished with great attention to detail, combining charm and comfort. Breakfasts were rich, fresh, and absolutely delicious, with a wide selection to choose from. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and always ready to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. There is also plenty of convenient parking available. The Danube Cycle Path is just a few dozen metres away, making it an ideal location for cycling trips. Overall, a perfect place to stay in the heart of the Wachau region – we would happily return.
