Impressive historic location high above the river danube with a beautiful entrance hall and library and rooms behind meterthick walls. Your choice should be danubefronted rooms with a great view. Most beautiful: the terrace of the restaurant high above the danube. To comply with the high standards of the place one could expect higher restaurant standards although the setting may... More

We stayed one night on our drive in the Danube River valley. We had room "Tor (tower) 2," a large 2nd floor walkup which had windows on two walls overlooking the Danube and in one wall over the courtyard: couldn't have been more scenic. The room, and the whole Schloss, is decorated with antiques and period furnishings. The small staff... More

The rooms were gorgeous-- lots of charm. Ours had a bathroom built into a wardrobe-- well planned and executed. It's a great place to bring your pet along-- the hotel is magnificent with pets. The restaurant is fantastic. The duck is not to be missed. The location is fantastic for exploring the sweet little village.

We stayed here as part of a self guided Danube bike ride. The beautiful surrounding, building, grounds, pool and terrace dining was beyond our wildest imagination for our cycling activity. There was a delay in our clothing arriving, unrelated to our stay, but they were sympathetic and helpful when we asked for assistance in the issue. The bed and room... More

The Hotel Schloss Durnstein is perfectly located on the Danube River. The front desk staff is lovely at this family run hotel. The common areas have A/C but the rooms do not. We ate dinner on an outside terrace with an amazing view of the Wachau Valley. The hotel has a very formal old world feel to it. I don't... More

A wonderful hotel, excellent restaurant and fantastic staff Since I spent several weekends at this hotel I decided to come there with my company. The organisation was perfect, especially the food in the restaurant was perfect. Also my vegetarian guests where highly contended - the choice and quality of food was amazing.

A very warm welcome, attentive staff, fantastic surroundings, amazing view from the room, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, great food in the restaurant and suprisingly good fitness facilities. Hotel Schloss Durnstein has it all, except an ironing board. I only discovered this half an hour before our dinner reservation. The hotel offers a laundry and ironing service for which ordinarily...

I have visited Schloss Hotel during a weekend in July,2012. The purpose of the weekend was to get some rest, some sun tanning and see what the region Wachau looks like. The weekend was amazing as Wachau is really gorgeous and a weekend is definitely not enough to see it all. Now regarding the hotel: the location was very fine,... More

We took the train from Vienna to Krems and then the bus to Durenstein. Total trip time about 1 1/2 hours. Easy to do and worth traveling this way as you get to see the countryside along the way. This town is the place to come to get away from the big cities of Europe. Our room overlooked the Danube.... More

Old Germanic castle on the banks of the Danube, perfect! We had a family (3 generations) trip and we stayed for a night (wish we had stayed longer) We booked the family apartment and it was large enough for 2 families. Great service, excellent food, the Terrace dining room overlooked the Danube. Good breakfast, nnice pool and spa.
