Very beautiful hotel, friendly staff, spacious rooms with beautiful views. The place was a little quite and children did not seem very welcome...though the staff was very helpful and sweet towards them. The best part was fruit laden trees in their gardens which the kids really enjoyed. We did not get a chance to experience their spa, but it seemed... More

Review of Gartenhotel Weingut Pfeffel, Durnstein, Austria If the little touches make all the difference in a hotel experience, then the Gartenhotel Pfellel in Durnstein, Austria has a lot to learn. What did they not offer? Decor that matched the price, a location close to something to see and service that equals what we have found everywhere else in Austria.... More

We really lucked out on this hotel. We were travelling day-to-day in Austria and planned to cycle on the Danube but couldn't find anywhere to stay from Melk to Krems.

A Lovely Hotel looking out over the Danube at Durnstein. The view is fantastic! It is managed entirely by a hard working family who are extremely pleasant and helpful to their guests.

Rooms were of good size, but a bit old in style (and smell) and without any atmosphere and the same... More

Charming family owned and run hotel and winery. Good location and great wines! Go for the room with a view of the Danube and the 7 course wine pairing was just fantastic. The service and staff were wonderful and super knowledgeable. Highly recommend the wine weekend for two package! Couldn’t have asked for a better Wachau experience. More

Wow! This hotel has recently been renovated and it is delightful! I can't say enough good things about it. The room was huge, and had a lovely, large deck overlooking the Danube. The bathroom was very spacious with a wonderful spa type shower. The staff was friendly and helpful. Their house wine was outstanding and we had a great dinner... More
