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

In an old village, without traffic noise, only boats on Danube, so very quiet in the night ! Arrival in a "castle court" with a door just for one vehicle. 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

We spent the last night of our September '05 vacation at Schloss Durnstein and had a great time. We booked last minute and got the last room they had available, Room 4, a "Deluxe Room" for 224 Euro per night, including breakfast. We were given great directions to the hotel that led us into an unusually spacious parking lot. The... more

I’m not sure what some people expect from the restaurant of an Austrian schloss… limbo-dancing? A samba band? Surely what’s important is the food and the service, and the former was excellent and the latter charming and friendly, if slightly inexperienced in some of the younger cases. And dining out on the flower-laden terrace, with the Danube flowing below, and... more
