Great location right on the Danube. Serene garden view or river views are very calming. I love how they’ve converted this 11th/12th century property still maintaining some ancient structures and artifacts into modern living space. The owner takes special pride in every little detail. Wish we had more time to explore this beautiful town and surrounding countryside. Will definitely come back and tell our friends too.

This was a such a charming hotel in the most charming village. The staff was extremely helpful and kind. (Rooms do not come with refrigerators and they arranged to have one placed in my room for my medication). As it was an old monastery the atmosphere is magical. Be careful you could spend your entire time here at the pool and in the gardens they are so peaceful. The room was perfectly air conditioned even though it was in the upper 90s. We paid for a room with a view of the Danube and the view was perfect. You will be thankful you booked a stay at the Richard Lowenhertz.

If you’re looking for the best place to stay in the Wachau, this is it. Dürnstein is the jewel of the region and this is a beautiful, classy and unique hotel with gorgeous gardens, a nice outdoor pool and views of the Danube. The restaurant is excellent too, and breakfast is wonderful! The staff is helpful in renting bikes, which are the best way to see the valley if you’re able.

The location of this property is perfect and the history that comes with it makes it a great place to stay in Durnstein

The pool and garden were especially lovely.

Unique hotel with an excellent breakfast buffet. The hotel was centrally located in Durnstein which is a wonderful village. The price of this hotel was steep for room we received. Non the less, we were aware of the price and enjoyed our stay.

Spectacular hotel, in a spectacular location. We spent 2 night there on our 14 day vacation and it was everyone’s favorite spot

The hotel is a musty old building surrounded by musty antiques. If you enjoy nostalgia this is your place. If you enjoy crisp and clean accommodations with modern amenities look elsewhere. The staff was excellent.

O hotel fica no predio de um convento antigo. Quarto ótimo! De bom tamanho, confortável e bem silencioso. O café da manhã é muito bom e completo. O jardim da propriedade é muito lindo e com linda vista pro rio Danúbio.

Sehr schönes und gepflegtes Hotel.

Längtar redan tillbaka! Helt ofattbar plats! Som en film! Fåglarna sjöng så fint i trädgården ovh utsikten var magisk!

Excellent location, charming place and would definitely recommend staying during the fall (however be aware of the date that hotel shuts down as the services are cut) upshot is that there are less tourist from bus, boat arriving during the end of the season

Utterly charming and incredible service! Gorgeous location with a delicious restaurant you must visit…so very pleased we were able to stay here!

Excellent service, fabulous buffet and perfect location! We will definitely come again.

Old monastery with a lot of history and charm ! The ruins were wonderful !

Sehr freundliches Personal!

Wundervoller Aufenthalt, super Garten mit tollem Pool, Personal ist sehr gut, sehr freundlich und sehr verbindlich egal in welchem Bereich, wunderbares Frühstück, schöne Zimmer mit schönem Balkon. Das einzige Manko ist eine fehlende Minibar bzw Kühlmöglichkeit im Zimmer. Sonst alles perfekt!

Virkelig skønt sted. Vi havde 2 hunde med, de var velkomne! Fantastisk morgenmad- alt lækkert! Dog mangler byen nogle flere spisesteder til aftesmad. Desværre lukkede hotellets Bistro kl 16.00!

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely inn. Our room was spacious and comfortable. I could have stayed in all day to enjoy the view of the Danube. Dinner on the terrace was excellent and featured fresh and seasonal dishes. The breakfast buffet offered excellent variety and quality too.

Hotel is on beautiful grounds. Room was lovely and clean. It was very nice to have a nice outdoor balcony. Durnstein and the Wachau Valley is absolutely stunning. We rented bikes from the hotel for our three days while at the hotel....it was fantastic exploring the area, the bike paths are great! Only complaint is that the rooms do not have air conditioning and the weather was very hot....had to keep the sliding door open and because there was no screen it waa hard to keep flies out.
