Pros:

Allg Lage, Liegewiese, Pool ganz toll
Frühstücksraum sehr schön, Auswahl beim Frühstück fein, freundliches Servicepersonal

Cons:

Zimmer schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber ok

Ich war mit meiner Mutter unterwegs, die nur mit Rollator mobil ist.
Ich habe diese Unterkunft aufgrund der wunderschönen Terrasse zur Donau hin ausgesucht/gebucht.

Es war eine Hochzeit, daher war die Terrasse gesperrt, das war sehr enttäuschend.
Die Mitarbeierin erklärte mir, dass ich eben hätte nachfragen müssen ob keine Veranstaltung stattfindet an diesem Wochenende.
Das finde ich mehr als frech!!!

Just perfect in every way…
Pros:

This exquisite hotel was once a medieval church overlooking the picturesque Danube River, so for this medieval history buff, it’s origins and the attention to detail to highlight that history was a beautiful added extra to a comfortable, pristine and luxurious hotel.
The staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and ensure my stay was to the highest standard, so having travelled from Victoria, Australia specifically to revisit this gorgeous town after having been here for a few hours while on a river cruise back in 2009, my two night stay was everything I had dreamed it would be.

Cons:

Nothing!
