Just spent a wonderful day and night in Durnstein and Hotel Richard Loewenherz. The Hotel itself was top-onotch with comfortable living spaces and an attentive staff. Do not be put-off by comments about narrow streets and crowds; you only have to drive about 200 yards through the town to get to the Hotel and it really was not a problem.... More

This is simply the best hotel you can dream about. The Richard Loewenherz is my favourite hotel. It has everything: charming location in a spectacular site (Duernstein is a lovely medieval village alongside the Danube, surrounded by wineyards and green hills). The hotel is magic, it has outstanding facilities, it offers very good food and wines (the region is famous... More

Well located in Durnstein - full of character - pleasant large rooms. We relished the pool after a hot morning of cycling. Good bike storage in secure garage. Pleasant and helpfull staff. Be early and book your table at balcony edge in the hotel restaurant - beautiful meal and excellent friendly staff.

Having visited Durnstein a number of years ago but not having a chance to stay overnight, I always wanted to return for a visit. We had that opportunity this fall and decided to stay at this Romantik property. What a perfect location it has right on the bank of the Danube. We arrived on a warm and sunny day which... More

The hotel is located deep inside the small village of Durnstein. While free parking is provided by the hotel, some travelers might be put off by having to navigate the tiny, tourist filled cobblestone alleys of the village to reach the hotel. The drive to/from the hotel actually discouraged us from driving our car in and out of the village... More

A great weekend gateway from Vienna! Beautiful rooms with a view on the Danube guarantee a romantic weekend.

This hotel has the most wonderful view of the Danube. It's quiet and peaceful with very good service. We chose a deluxe room overlooking the river with a wonderful view of the vineyards on the other bank. The rooms were quite expensive, but we all thought it was value for money.
