"This is such a special place. The moment you step into the hotel you are surrounded by incredible history and welcomed by extremely lovely staff. The room was ultra clean, bright and welcoming. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful and I would recommend eating in their restaurant in the evening. The food was outstanding. You can relax by the pool surrounded by history or unwind in the garden which is so peaceful. Durnstein is a beautiful town but we would return for the hotel alone. Thank you to the owners and all the staff - we didn't want to leave!"

"The Rothenhof 1 apartment has several defects. There's an unpleasant musty smell on the lower floor, the plaster in the bathroom is crumbling, and there's mold on some of the walls, the ceiling vent is hanging down, salt has been spread on the windows and floor for pest control, an unused high chair is left lying around, and the bottles in the wine cellar are completely covered in dust. Far too expensive; I wouldn't book this apartment again!"

"Excellent experience staying in the old castle of a small Austrian town - located on cliff above the Danube River with a wonderful view - we enjoyed sipping the local wine on the terrace and watching the boats sail down the river. Plenty of free parking and there is a local bus stop 5 mins from hotel if you want to explore the surrounding area without driving. The rooms were nicely appointed - large and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was pretty good - made to order eggs/omelets each morning. We also ate at their bistro right outside the castle walls - good as well. Service was great!"

"Beautiful hotel with spacious and tastefully decorated spaces and rooms. Rooftop wellness area with a relaxing view. New construction activity was not perceived as disturbing. The location at the foot of the vineyards means it's directly on the Krems-Melk road with corresponding traffic, separated only by a quiet railway embankment. Rooms without air conditioning mean open windows with street noise. Rooms above the smoking terrace are not recommended. The service is supposed to be over after 10:00 PM – no one cares. Breakfast really had an above-average and good selection. Dinner: Disappointing, because the salmon tartar starter was more of an attempt but not well-executed, i.e., without seasoning, and the main course had a wait of an hour. Explanation: Communication was broken! The restaurant was visited by a group and a few couples. This wasn't Austria. We dined at the Schlosshotel for the next few days with excellent service and imaginative cuisine. Nevertheless, a beautiful hotel with potential for improvement, with appropriate management. The staff, by the way, was exceptionally polite, except for one senior who shuffled around without greeting."

"Mysiga lägenheter.Det finns vissa svårigheter med kontroll, det viktigaste är att läsa incheckningsvillkoren noggrant."
