An amazing, luxurious, historic hotel. Delicious breakfast, comfortable and beautiful rooms, cold but lovely pool

Margaret, Australia

Beautiful area to travel through by car; hotel is located atop a hill overlooking the Danube - great views. The hotel grounds are very pleasant; nice place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was very good; again, the view from the restaurant terrace was great. Breakfast was exceptional, all in all, a place to stop, relax, and enjoy on your trip through this area of Europe.

John, United States of America

The hotel was ideally located in the heart of the town. The pool was refreshing and a treat to enjoy, especially given how unusually warm it was when we visited.

Joost, Germany

Buffet was amazing. Bikes perfect.. pool and garden were lovely. Beautiful views. Loved it

Steve, Canada

Views of the Danube. Spacious traditional room and environment.

Roy, Spain

Outside our windows, the Danube. The hotel is an abbey filled with the most beautiful collection of images of Durnstein spanning hundreds of years. The building itself is exquisite and rich in history. The castle ruins high above the hotel is a wonderful hike.The food and waiters were 'old world' wonderful, and we ate there each evening, something we never do. Note, they have some sort of dining plan, which would be worth it. The family has owned this hotel for many generations, and everything is ship shape, in fact there are chandeliers made from ships. We fell in love with the place and stayed an extra night. Biking,(hotel will provide you with bikes, reserve them), through the Wachau Valley each day and drinking the amazing crisp wines, paired with the cuisine of the hotel is quite an experience. Enjoy it.

Tamara, United States of America

Beautiful, old buildings of exceptional charm, comfort and architectural interest, with furnishings and art works also of exceptional quality and appropriate style and age. Exceptionally beautiful gardens, pool, view and balcony. Lovely breakfast with good choice of delicious food. Quite outstanding accommodation!

Norma, United Kingdom

Very nice and good location in the Durnstein village. Schloss hotel is a nice variation instead of classical buildings. Village very nice and great opportunities for cycling and water sports or hiking. Very good food in the hotel either breakfast or dinner in their restaurant. Elder lady - the owner - was very friendly.

Peter, Slovakia

Great for its location, room comfort, staff, breakfast, dinner restaurant, and swimming pool.

Yalia, United States of America

Marvellous positioned on the Danube, spotless clean, our Donau Suite had views both to the river and to the pool, the bed was very comfortable, the room was really big.

Horia, Romania

With its unique location directly on the banks of the Danube, the charming, traditional Hotel Richard Löwenherz in Dürnstein is the perfect choice for those who appreciate individual service in a beautiful historic ambience.

Hotel Richard Löwenherz is surrounded by medieval convent walls and decorated with works of art from the region.

The wonderful location, the romantic terrace restaurant overlooking the Danube, the extensive, dreamlike convent garden with its swimming pool, and the open fireplace give the hotel its unique character.

The award-winning gourmet restaurant serves a wide range of traditional and innovative culinary delicacies, as well as a selection of excellent wines from local, Austrian and international vineyards.

You can enjoy these special treats either in the elegant dining rooms or, weather permitting, on the terrace with its breathtaking view over the Danube. Sitting under shady chestnut trees, you will dine overlooking passing ships, the Baroque tower of the monastery and the ruins of the castle.

Today the ruins of Dürnstein Castle are the most popular sight in the Wachau. Hotel Richard Löwenherz is named after Richard the Lionheart, King of England, who was held captive there from 1192 to 1193.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“This hotel is enchantingly delightful. I highly recommend at least a one night stay here for family, couples or solo travels. The hotel owner and staff could not be more hospitable and gracious. We enjoyed exploring the historical building and grounds of which was originally a cloister for nuns. It looks like a very well maintained castle to me with beautiful rooms for lodging and gardens. The large pool is in the gardens surrounded by the high stone walls of the hotel. The views from grounds, restaurant and rooms are of the Danube River. We stayed in the Suite Margareta which was well worth the cost. It is large enough for a family of 4 if needed. There is a bedroom, large living room suite area with a large balcony overlooking the Danube River. The beds are very comfortable with nice bedding, pillows and the towels are supper soft. The soap and shampoo smells wonderful. The hotel restaurant is a must for dinner for enjoying a view of the Danube River. We ate out on the terrace for dinner and in the dining room for breakfast. Breakfast is included and is delicious with scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, meats, fruits, vegetables, yogurt and associated breads and pastries. We rented the hotel bikes which were great quality bikes. We took the ship to Melk upstream with took 2.5 hours (loading our bikes on the ship) then road bikes back to Durnstein exploring the towns as we road back about 15 miles or so. he view of each town from Durnstien to Melk so beautiful. A must one way or the other or both! The bike ride was very pretty and easy riding the slight incline down hill.”

눉the ventilation in the bathroom is set to run continually and therefore disturbing during the day sleeping room has many furnitures from the 80ties. The apricot dumplings in the restaurants , which are charged for 12 Euros per portion , so the triple price for Dürnstein, but there was just so average, the dough was soggy

눉The dinner was a little pricy, the helpings were a little undersized, and the service a little slow. Not quite up to the exceptional standard of the accommodation, but still a superb location.
눇Beautiful, old buildings of exceptional charm, comfort and architectural interest, with furnishings and art works also of exceptional quality and appropriate style and age. Exceptionally beautiful gardens, pool, view and balcony. Lovely breakfast with good choice of delicious food. Quite outstanding accommodation!

눉We did not feel much welcome in the beginning by the welcoming lady on the reception - dont know why (maybe because we booked via booking.com?). However, the lady at reception at our check-out was very polite. It is all about people of course, but I would expect that every guest is treated friendly in such hotels. The room could be a little bit cosier. No WiFi available at all in the room. In general - I would expect a bit more comfortable room and hotel for that money paid.
눇Very nice and good location in the Durnstein village. Schloss hotel is a nice variation instead of classical buildings. Village very nice and great opportunities for cycling and water sports or hiking. Very good food in the hotel either breakfast or dinner in their restaurant. Elder lady - the owner - was very friendly.
