I've passed through Durnstein several times and always wanted to stay at the Schloss. My wife and I did for 3 nights. It was nothing short of fantastic. The rooms are super, the location great, the hike up to the Ruins (where Richard the Lionhearted was jailed for a time) was super - outstanding views, etc. The most romatic part... more

Don't miss the chocolate croissants at breakfast. If you get to the breakfast buffet early, you will still get one of those warm, fresh, heavenly pastries. The Austrians claim to have invented the croissants, and after eating the ones at Hotel Durnstein, I believe it. The hotel itself is located in the very picturesque town of Durnstein, whose claim to... more

The reception staff were excellent and very helpful and friendly. They spoke excellent English. We enjoyed dining on the terrace overlooking the Danube. The food was excellent. The room was lovely and we had mild weather. It was a bit stuffy and I believe would be very warm on a hot day as there is no air conditioning, which I... more

After reading the other evaluations of Hotel Schloss Durnstein, I was aprenhensive, but since I had been to Durnstein and seen the hotel years ago... and then made a promise to myself to return, I went for it ........................... Most of the complaints had to do with how hot the hotel was in the summer. I had booked a single... more

The view from the parking is superb, and you are not inside yet. Friendly welcome, you are not in a touristic complex. But the room is not ready and it's... more

Have just returned from a weekend at Durnstein. A business partner has recommended hotel Schloss and has given us an idea of what to expect - family operated hotel, friendly staff, relaxing location by the river. Has it all! Don't expect a top luxury 5 star hotel run by professional faultless robots and you will have a great time. Village... more

We loved the hotel. It's beautiful and the food is superb. The breakfast was wonderful and we also ate a fabulous dinner at the restaurant right along the Danube. The pool is really a nice treat. They also have a beautiful indoor pool and sauna, massage room, etc. The room #27 had a great view of the river and pool.... more

I read all the reports, both complimentary and not, and decided to find out which were correct. I now can confirm that any non-complimentary reports are true. My husband and I arrived there on July 22nd, 2006. The hotel is not difficult to find, but the parking courtyard is very small and not easily negotiated if other cars are also... more
