I didn’t plan to stay in Weiden at all. My original plan was Vienna — until NILS appeared on my booking screen. One look at this hotel, and everything changed. I canceled Vienna without hesitation and dedicated my entire time in Austria to this magical place on the lake. And it was the best decision I could have made for my soul. After two difficult years of war back home, my heart and mind were exhausted. NILS felt like a soft hand reaching out and saying, “come rest here.” I traveled all the way from Budapest - two trains, two buses, delays, cold weather, darkness - but the moment I arrived, it was all worth it. I was welcomed with a warm smile and a glass of local Prosecco, which felt incredibly comforting after such a long journey. The design of the hotel is breathtaking: chic, boho, earthy, natural, perfectly curated down to the smallest detail. My room was cozy and beautiful, and every corner looked like it belonged in magazine. The atmosphere is peaceful — complete silence, soft light, and that dreamy lakeside energy. I woke up to a golden sunrise over the lake… pure magic. Breakfast was one of the healthiest and most mindful I’ve had in my travels — fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, delicious breads, homemade jams, an impressive selection of juices, wellness shots, plant-based milk… As someone who lives a healthy lifestyle and loves vegan food, I was truly happy (though vegan cheese or tofu would be a great addition in the future!). The spa is small but perfect: a warm sauna, a relaxation room, herbal teas, fruit-infused water, and a balcony where you can step out into the cold after the heat — incredibly refreshing for body and mind. There’s also a heated pool, which is a complete blessing in winter. The staff were wonderful — warm, kind, genuinely interested, and easy to talk to. As a solo traveler, these small human connections mean a lot. We shared travel stories, smiles, and small conversations that made everything feel even more personal. In the evening, the sunset over the lake was hypnotizing. Just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, and you’re standing by the water watching the sky paint itself. When I had to leave, the hotel arranged a lovely driver who arrived early, was kind, friendly, and got me safely to Vienna Airport. This hotel healed something inside me. This is not just a place to stay — it’s a place to breathe again. I would return again and again, even if it means taking two trains and two buses. And honestly… I would love to collaborate with this hotel in the future. As a model and someone who lives the lifestyle this hotel represents — healthy, mindful, aesthetic, nature-loving — I feel deeply connected to what NILS stands for. It would be an honor to be part of its story. Thank you NILS, for giving my soul exactly what it needed. I can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful hotel with great service and kind people working there. Vegan breakfast by request was amazing and rooms are spotless and really romantic 👏🏼

Truly amazing place, gastro and organic food, very friendly staff and the interior design was 10/10. Rooms are huge and everything is really harmonious and feels very close to nature.

We returned to the hotel after a year. Overall, we were satisfied, the furnishing and the atmosphere as we remember it from last year. Unfortunately, the standard of breakfast get worsered, less choice, some of the pastries are of poor quality. Some of the staff are less attentive, probably part-timers. It's a shame and I hope that the otherwise great hotel will return to last year's standard. Of course, I add that I'm writing comments based on the price level of the hotel.
