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.

Bioweingut Schmidl is in a very peaceful location but also very close to downtown Durnstein. The rooms are very large, comfortable and clean. The host, Theresa, was very friendly and accommodating. You can sit on the terrace and enjoy the views of the vineyards and the castle - it's amazing. We also tasted their wine and it was excellent as well as their breakfast. We just wish we had stayed longer.

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... .
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!
Pension is situated in the beautiful, very historical old building in the centre of Durnstein. It is probably the most nice village in the region and is the perfect base to discover Austrian Danube valley. Guest are provided with the free parking right outside of the centre, only few minutes walk to the accommodation. The room was nice, clean and cosy, the breakfast was available every day until 9:30 and it was good. Pension has a small terrace yard, which is perfect to sit and enjoy the sun and read a book.

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.
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.
The room was very modern and and clean. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was very good and plentyful. From the property one can see the Dürnstein Ruin and there is a parking space with a gate if needed. There is also a terrace to sit outside and an aircondition inside the room with windows with blinds.
The location, the atmosphere and the staff especially at the reception was wonderful!
The hotel and rooms are very elegant, the area of the swimming pool is very nice but beside this there is not much to do in the hotel.
We were overwhelmed by the amazing greenery outside the hotel and the classic style of the rooms. The breakfast was superb every morning and the spa feeling was amazing! I also loved how much history the hotel has!
Absolutely stunning apartments, very spacious, neat and cozy. Just next to the wine-yards. We even had a walk-in wine cellar in the apartment.
The apartments are in good proximity to both Durnstein and Krems
The hotel was quaint and filled with antiques. The rooms were clean and a good size. The pool was a real treat! It was hot and the room had a fan which was a bonus. The breakfast buffet was great!
Wonderful breakfast, great location, 5 min walk downhill from Durnstein‘s main road. The room and en-suite bathroom was clean, there was a locked bike room.
