Bioweingut Schmidl is in a very peaceful location but also very close to downtown Durnstein. The rooms are very large, comfortable and clean. The host, Theresa, was very friendly and accommodating. You can sit on the terrace and enjoy the views of the vineyards and the castle - it's amazing. We also tasted their wine and it was excellent as well as their breakfast. We just wish we had stayed longer.

Great location, a very quiet and comfortable room with a seating area and a small desk. The hosts were very kind, there was everything you wanted for breakfast. Chilled drinks and tea and coffee were available, both for a fee.
It's an old monastery that is the hallmark of the village.

Durnstein is a strange village; the old centre is attractive and interesting, but you get a feeling that it's a ghost town. It seems to exist for day trippers, and it doesn't have a life of its own. The only shops are tourist shops - no pharmacies, no grocery shops, no stationeries selling newspapers and magazines.... Some eateries close by 6pm and after that, it really is a ghost town.

Unfortunately there were some problems... .
The WiFi inside the room did not work. I have asked twice and it was fixed but for just a few hours... so I had to use my data plan on my phone.
Bed was very uncomfortable. It was a double bad but... with some board in the middle, with one side of bed being higher than the other part and squicking on every move in the bed.
The only way I could shower was if I was holding the shower had in my hand..... which made it impossible to wash properly my heir and.... water was splushing from defecting shower head.
Breakfast was great.... people were very nice but... I would not stay in this hotel again.

I stayed here with my wife, two young daughters, and my in-laws. We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. Everyone was so helpful and service oriented. The pool was perfect for us to relax in. The food is excellent at the restaurant and the views along the Danube are gorgeous.

Beautiful picturesque town in the Wachau valley.
Beautiful picturesque town in the Wachau valley. Lots of wineries nearby and some cute restaurants in the town itself. Very walkable. Touristy by day with people coming from Vienna but insanely quiet by night. We felt like we had the whole town to ourselves!
This hotel exemplifies the history and character of the Wachau region in general and Durnstein in particular. The staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable, the rooms are spacious, there are prints, etchings and paintings everywhere - showing off the history of the region and giving it context. The pool is lovely, the dining and wines exemplary, and the views of the river superb. An absolute treat!
The location is exceptionally picturesque comprising endlessly terraced grape vines with the mighty Danube River in the foreground and deep green pine forested hills behind. The food in the region (Lower Austria) was sensational, the hosts were exceedingly friendly and welcoming, and the accommodation (fully contained apartment) was modern and immaculate. We definitely intend to return in the future.

The location, the location and once more the location, it is perfect. Just about 150 m from the Hotel Schloss Dürnstein and as close to the Donau as possible and parking on site. What else could you ask? Of course, Donau Radweg. But at the Gästehouse Stöger the cycle road is just outside the door. And you have a garage for the bikes. Breakfast is also very good.
Loved the location - the property is located in the heart of charming Durnstein (much cuter than Krems and Melk to stay in). The rooms were spacious, comfortable, clean and exudes local charm. We were able to park in a parking lot about 5 minutes walking distance. Nothing we did not like! Lots of restaurants, stores, and a delicious bakery nearby!
Gästezimmer Rolea was a great place to stay with a very welcoming family, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. The house is in a great location on the edge of Durnstein and very walkable to the attractions in town. Breakfast was extensive (particularly for a smaller B&B), and the place is very dog friendly.
Location of the pension Altes Rathaus- in the center of Durnstein.We had to wander through winding streets of the old town untill we found the pension. But it only added to the charm of the town.We were met by the host who spoke English.Big room in the old house.Excellent breakfast.Parking place for the car in a closed parking lot.
A beautiful old hotel with a lovely staff, located in a beautiful town.
We had a room with amazing view of the river and the inner court. The hotel have a fantastic restaurant with a terrace over the river, great food and great service. Very friendly for children.
They will to arrange every ask of us.
Everything! Cool bathroom, super comfy bed, doors out to 2 terraces, excellent location, everything we needed was there. It was very quiet and good for sleeping. Durnstein is so beautiful, friendly and an excellent rest from the busy Vienna streets.
Property. was the original Townhall built in 1453, had good bones ! Very large comfortable room, extremely quiet, even with open windows. Nice breakfast . Close to the walk up to the Durnstein Ruin, it’s a harder walk but so worth the views
clean, easy parking, and appreciated how the staff took great efforts to book us a nice table for dinner by the waterfront as guests staying in the hotel, without even having to ask. delicious dinner
Just a short walk to the “old town” of Durnstein. Beautiful, modern large room with kitchen. A secure place for our bicycles. Great breakfast and a very friendly and kind host.
