Spacious, clean, grand hotel on the shore of the Danube. We opted for a room with a view of the river and are quite glad we did. Our room was spacious with good lighting and nice water pressure. The beds were a bit more firm than we like, but we couldn't call them "uncomfortable" as that can be very subjective. As with many hotels in Europe, there is no air conditioning. However, thanks to the thick stone walls, you can get by with a fan if use your shades and shutters wisely on hot days. Breakfast was one of the best, with hot food (bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage), fresh fruit, yogurts, meat, cheese, pastries and more, served in bright, spacious dining rooms. The town of Dürnstein itself is small and can be quite full of tourists during the day. That there is plenty of free parking at the hotel is a wonderful benefit. Because it is located in a small town, there is a handful of restaurants and bars, if you don't want to eat at the hotel's restaurant. This was an excellent base from which we explored the Wachau valley.

Stayed on a Friday night in mid-August. Excellent location, beautiful balcony views. Room is very nice, although tub/shower is on the small side. Driving in is interesting, since you will need to drive down the narrow, ancient, crowded streets of Durnstein between and among the many pedestrians and bikers to reach the hotel parking. It's fine, just go slow and smile. Once you arrive, hotel parking is not bad, we found a spot just a few steps from the main entrance. Staff was very helpful and nice. The hotel restaurant has patio seating next to the Danube which is fantastic. I had the veal shallots, which were very tasty. Breakfast was ok. Not bad, just not great like dinner. Hiked up to the Castle Durnstein ruins (where Richard the Lionhearted held captive in 1192) -- about a 20 - 30 minute uphill walk from the hotel. Not hard core hiking, but fairly steep in a couple of spots. Ruins provide an amazing view of the valley and town below. Definitely have a poppy cake and some gelato or ice cream at one of the town cafes. Also, the town is overflowing with apricot wine and liqueur and nectar (of course), so drink up. Only an hour or so drive (in our rental car) from Vienna. Definitely recommend, we had a great time.

This is a charming hotel, full of character and surprisingly extensive. My room was spacious, beautifully furnished and had a view of the Danube. The hotel is a bit of a maze but that’s part of its charm. The breakfast was extensive and very good.

We had very nice stay with our 3 year old child. Our room overlooked garden and was very quiet. Pillows and beds are super comfortable Was very surprised to find working fireplace in the evening in the hall

Perfect location in the heart of Wachau. We stayed in Suite Margareta, the only suite (as far as I know) with a balcony and a wonderful view on the Danube and the hills around. Hotel very clean, room well equipped, tasty breakfast. Staff very nice and helpful. Parking lots in the courtyard, narrow streets and gates give extra adrenaline if you're coming by car ;) We stayed for 2 nights and made short trips to Krems and Göttweig.

overprized hotel in beautiful place but average condition. Terrible pillows, not blackouts on the windows, average breakfast with older bread , definitely not worth 287 euros per night ..

What a charming, centrally located hotel in the Wachau! We loved our room with a view of the Danube, the hotel's rental bikes, vast breakfast brunch, and helpful staff.

Wonderful hotel in a beautiful setting. The room was lovely and spacious. We particularly enjoyed the quirkiness of the lay out which gave the stay a certain charm. The staff were friendly and efficient and were made to feel very welcome.

I upgraded to a room with a view of the river and balcony. It had that but you could only get a glimpse of the river if you walked out on the balcony. The room didn't smell very fresh and felt dated. The bed was super soft and hard for us to get a good night's sleep. The dinner menu was not very good and wasn't rated well on Trip Advisor so we didn't eat there but breakfast was great. For us, the town would have been fine to visit for an hour. It was too touristy with bus loads of people coming at one time and this was off-season. The staff was friendly and helpful.
