What a charming, centrally located hotel in the Wachau! We loved our room with a view of the Danube, the hotel's rental bikes, vast breakfast brunch, and helpful staff.

In the heart of Durnstein. Walking distance to numerous vineyards, including the Domane Wachau, which we highly recommend! The hotel has free parking and the staff was very helpful at assisting us through the little village and parking. Very beautiful grounds with lots of history.

Lovely historic hotel in Durnstein
This is a unique, wonderful hotel in a historic property in picturesque Durnstein. We enjoyed the beautiful grounds and pool and the unique hotel. The location is central in small Durnstein, which is a great homebase for exploring the Wachau Valley.

Very nice old historic hotel was a convent
Old historic hotel but clean comfortable rooms. New updated bathroom. Very nice grounds and outside eating patio. Breakfast was very nice. Lunch was disappointing. We had the Caesar salad with chicken. It was iceberg lettuce with about 11/2 to 2 ounces of chicken, 3 small cherry stone tomatoes cut in half. For 15 euros. The waiter also brought us 2 rollls that were brought to the table with the meal. When we received the bill we had to pay for the rolls, that should have been part of the meal. The draft beer was very good the glass of Riesling wine was fair. Not a good indication of what is produced locally. The waiter wanted us to buy a bottle. That would be a mistake. We were so put off by the skimpy salad we were afraid to have supper. We ate else were. Still a beautiful hotel in a great setting.

Magnificent location with limited welcome
I love to write favorable reviews. This hotel has wonderfully located directly on the Danube in a very small village. We loved the location, our room with a view, and the large pool in an expansive garden. BUT, with the exception of the housekeepers and one junior waiter, we felt unwelcome. We were baffled because this is a tourist destination but the hotel appears to have no culture of hospitality towards it's guests. The maitre'd was overtly rude and the owner wandered the halls scowling and muttering. She emerged to say a gracious goodbye but previous encounters with her had left us feeling as if we had somehow made a huge faux pas. We're seasoned travelers and go out of our way to be friendly and gracious. Didn't work for us this time.

Stunning setting, highly recommend!
If you are entertaining the idea of visiting Wachau Valley, staying in Durnstein is a good idea as it is fairly centrally located. More importantly, it doesn't get any more charming than this. We loved the setting of Hotel Richard Lowenstein. Picture perfect, just like what you hope you will experience when visiting a charming small Central European town. The hotel, its restaurants, terrace and English garden are overlooking the Danube river; the garden and its pool area are set against old city walls. The facilities had a calming, tranquil atmosphere overall. It is also a great place to stay if you are cycling through the area (there was a Backroads tour crew and guests at this hotel). Breakfast was included and it was fabulous. One of the evenings we stayed there was chilly, and the lobby had a roaring fire going in its fireplace, with cozy chairs and tables around it and people hanging out. I think the rooms could use more comfort. Most hotels in Central Europe are spartan in terms of decor and comforts, but for a place like this I would have expected at least a pillow that supports my neck. In fact, lots more pillows. The bathrooms work, but are tacky and very cheaply put together. Mattresses are not great. Don't expect lavish room furnishings. But then, you won't be spending much time inside. All in all, I would stay at the same place again.

ちょっとお高めでしたが価値のあるホテルでした！
ホテルの廊下などには古い家具など展示され、博物館のようでした。 部屋はバルコニー付きで、山と川が見えてまるで高原のような感じで視界に建物がないので、カーテン不要で、凄い解放感でした！ エアコンがないので、夜暑くて窓を開けることになりました。これが唯一のマイナスでしたが結果的には虫も入る事無くて、初めから開けて寝たほうがいいみたいです！ 田舎なので、交通の便についての情報がないので、レセプションに相談したのですが、65以上と思われる優しいおばあさんが時刻表まで印刷してバスや鉄道での移動方法を教えてくれ、とても助かりました！ 村は小さいが歴史あり、居心地いいところだと思います。

Very noisy
I thought the place was very good when I arrived the hotel. The room had good view and the town is very pretty. However, our room was irradiated too bright light (beam) from the opposite side of the river since the early evening. Then we had to close the curtain, and we could not enjoy the beautiful scenery. Then the very loud musics started. It was very noisy although we shut the twofold windows. It continued to the mid night.

Thanks for your review about our hotel. We are very sorry about the loud music and the light, but this is a special event that takes place every September in the Wachau for a TV show. We are also not lucky with this situation. However - we now achieved that the music stopps at 9.30 in the future. We are really sorry, that you could not sleep and would be glad to welcoming you another silent time here at Dürnstein because our cloister garden is a very quiet place!
