Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you’re planning to visit Melk Abbey, be aware that Hotel Donauhof is not within walking distance—you’ll need to take a taxi, which costs about €16 each way. Alternatively, there's a bus that runs only once per hour. The hotel provides no in-room amenities—not even, tea or bottled water—and there is no air conditioning, which can be uncomfortable in the warmer months after June. There are no activity area around the hotel, with no restaurants nearby except the hotel’s own. During our stay, the elevator was out of order, and we had to carry our suitcases up the stairs. If you're visiting Melk Abbey, I would recommend staying in Melk itself. You'll find similar or lower prices, access to a charming small town, and several dining options within walking distance.

Highly recommended

An excellent family-run hotel on the banks of the Dnube. Very good breakfast. Nice restaurant. We upgraded to a large room with a balcony and a full view of the Danube for only 15€ per night.

Music in the bathroom honey in honeycombs

Hotel is a traditional classic Austrian hotel. With a lot of wood inside. Despite that the rooms are modern and I find them very practical. I really like that you get music in the bathroom. Is matching perfect with the big cabin shower Breakfast is good and it I like that they serve honey in honeycombs Manny people came to have dinner at the nice terrace

Gutes Hotel mit kleineren Mängeln

Insgesamt ein schönes Hotel, gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis. Chefin etwas unfreundlich, was der Oberkellner mit seiner freundlich-lustigen Art aber wieder ausgeglichen hat. Zimmer sauber, ruhig und gut verdunkelbar. Massagefunktion der Betten großartig! Einziges Manko: Am Nachmittag, als alle bei Regenanbruch nach Hause kamen und duschten, wechselte das Wasser immer zwischen kalt und heiß. Das sollte bei einem 4-Sterne-Betrieb wirklich nicht vorkommen! Das Problem trat am nächsten Vormittag nicht mehr auf. Das hauseigene Restaurant ist zu empfehlen; am Abend kommen auch externe Gäste zum Essen in den schönen Gastgarten.

Très bonne adresse pour un séjour à Melk

Très bien, calme, nous avions demandé des chambres côté cour (attention, peut être plus bruyant côté route mais avec vue sur le Danube). Prix des petits déjeuners exorbitant (par rapport au prix des chambres) : nous ne les avons pas pris, même après négociation sur le prix pour les enfants.

We stayed there just over night when we visited Wachau. Can't really say anything wrong or bad about it, we were satisfied with our short stay. Very decent room/bathroom, free parking... average breakfast. Not many things to do around it but if you have a car Melk is just a short ride across the Danube.
