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.

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.

We loved our 3-night stay in this charming historic hotel! We had a suite perfect for our family of four, a welcome respite after a long flight from the United States. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Be sure to take advantage of the bike rentals to ride along the path by the river, incredible views! We would love to return one day!

historic hotel in charming Durnstein

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.

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.

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.

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.
