We cannot rate this hotel highly enough. The mix of old and modern is superb. The restaurant and staff were out of this world, being seasoned travellers we both think we have never stayed anywhere better.

The food was outstanding at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Never mind four stars we would give it six.

I had mentioned that it was my huband's birthday whilst we were there when I booked the holiday. In a very charming and sophisticated way, they made that birthday extremely special.

A fairy tale setting in the countryside of Austria. We stayed here enroute from Saltzburg to Vienna. Off the beaten path, this bucolic castle sits almost frozen in time on the outside, but beautifully appointed with new furniture in the rooms. The rooms are in the former stables. The restaurant was quite good and eating outside away from the madding crowds was so romantic. The charming family who own and run the place told us they hardly see 10 Americans a year. We went purely on the recommendation of the previous reviewer and highly concur. Find a reason to enjoy this beautiful secret hideaway.

What a find in Austria. On our recent trip we stayed at this 4 Star Hotel, located about 15km from Linz.
Almost a Boutique hotel in size with it's charming 35 rooms, everything during our stay was perfect. Set in gorgeous surroundings with a very attractive swimming pond (as clean as a pool), we instantly felt relaxed and wanted to stay longer than our booked nights. The rooms are well layed out and have all amenities one expects from a modern day place, but with a centuries old feeling to the room with creaking floors and old windows.

Breakfast is served in a almost gothic chapel style room, the buffet has a great selection of traditional Austrian breakfast goodies as well as some funky choices like organic apple and carrot juice, supplied by a local farmer.
Right next door is the fantastic restaurant which serves set four course dinners and also offers a great menu. We took advantage of a huge firecplace within that restaurant where we enjoyed our desserts each night and after dinner drinks. Truly a great ambiance. Service was outstanding, but where else if not in Austria....that's what they do best.

A very short ride of 15 minutes got us right into the centre of Linz, great shopping and overall a cool place to visit between a trip from Salzburg to Vienna.
