Cray hot room.

Our both rooms were extremely hot & couldn't sleep week at all. Ask front desk manager to change our room with an air condone , they claimed it wasn't available. What a waste of $165 a night on a cray hot hotel room. Their breakfast was great but I wouldn't recommend staying in this hotel unless they offer air conditioning room in a hot muggy summer days.

Overpriced.

Pool a little small in relation to picture on website. Information on room indicated a bath but only a shower available. Not sure if room had air conditioning...not visible nor sign of a control. SPA was excellent.

Gartenhotel & Weingut Pfeffel Dürnstein is a 10

The hotel was lovely as was the staff. The room was large with a great view of the Danube. The bed was very comfortable with nice linen. Bathroom and shower were great - very roomy. Hotel was very clean. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we had our entire trip. Breakfast was excellent every day.

country/vineyard decorations

Large, yet cozy feel of country hotel with wonderful breakfast room with outdoor terrace. Modern rooftop swimming pool with a so called relax spa zone designed for adults. Family vineyard and products featured. We had hoped to leave our car at hotel and walk in and out of Durnstein but the half mile walk was on an unlit and very busy road.

Gem on the Danube

Delightful hotel in beautful location overlooking the Wachau valley along the Danube within walking distance of the lovely town of Durnstein and its castle ruins. Room was very spacious and comfortable. Restaurant on site was excellent, especially the wine from the owner's own vineyard on the property. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Highly recommend a stay here.

Nice spa but rooms need updating

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights as we were visiting the wine district. There are no air conditioned rooms in the hotel which meant we needed to have our window open in the evening and to sleep. This hotel is VERY close to the main road and one can hear the trucks and cars going by constantly as well as the barges travelling up the Danube. Food in restaurant is priced as high as the Schloss Castle/Restaurant but quality not as good.

A great room on the Danube

The room was clean, spacious, and elegant. We had in-room internet access, a refrigeration, a walk-in shower, and a balcony overlooking the Danube River. The hotel was a bit our of town, but an easy 15 minute walk. The breakfast was included in the price and had more choices that the typical buffet in Europe.
