This is in a beautiful area, only 5 minutes walk outside Durnstein, so perfect for seeing the very pretty village after the majority of tourists have gone. Quite a big hotel, so it was a bit of a walk to our room on the edge. Lots of recommendations for things to do, wine tasting, walking tours, pre-breakfast tai chi on... More

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. This quiet hotel just outside of Krems in Durnstein was amazing. The hotel was recently renovated in 2010, and while we were in the old wing, the rooms here were... More

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. Nothing at all was too much bother for them. The restaurant is excellent as were the local wines which they were offered with knowledge and pride. We stayed... More

We spend lots of time in Vienna, and wanted to head out to the country for a bit. Our friends recommended the Wachau, and I found this place over the internet and booked it over the phone from the states. It embodies every element of Austrian hospitality. Americans who love cushy and plush and effusive service may not be happy,... More

After recommendation from friends we stayed at this hotel as we were visiting the Wachau wine district. Our friends said the new rooms where great, but unfortunately they were not available, so we stayed in a steinfeder doubleroom and apartment. 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.

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
