About

The charming, family-run Hotel Donauhof is located on the western entrance to the Wachau World Heritage Site, right on the Danube Bike Trail between Passau and Vienna. The hotel offers an impressive view of the Danube and the historic market square of Emmersdorf, which is only a few steps away. Located halfway between Vienna and Linz, it is easily accessible via the A1 highway. The Melk exit is 2.5 miles away, the Pöchlarn exit 5 miles away. Hotel & Restaurant Donauhof's location provides the perfect starting point for excursions into the Wachau and to the many sights nearby. The cozy guest rooms invite you to relax and feel comfortable. A wide range of culinary specialties is served from a varied dining menu in the hotel's restaurant and on the sunny terrace. The family-owned wine tavern “Heuriger Haferkastn” is only one mile from the Donauhof. The best wines from the Wachau and traditional local dishes are served there. In addition, the hotel offers its guests many outdoor activities, such as guided bike tours, jogging and Nordic walking tours. A bike rental, a locked bike garage, wine tastings, a massage service and free parking in front of the hotel are also available.

    Pros +

    • Nice rooms, directly at the bike path, decent breakfast
    • Clean. I lost a key card and there was no fee. Good for cycling.Spacious parking space. Great region. Friendly staff.
    • Location waa great. Right across the danube and few minutes away from the bus stop. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Restaurant had a limited menu but the food was great.

    Cons -

    • A bit noisy in the morning.Some access to water would be helpful.
    • Hotel is located neareby local noisy route. Absence of aircondition is giving you two chances: sleep with ear protection in acceptable temperature or quite and hot and sweaty.
    • No coffee maker or safe in room, from memory. There are no shops nearby - ok if you have a car and can drive a few km into Melk.

    Adequately sized room, quite a good breakfast. Fair location not far from river.

    No coffee maker or safe in room, from memory. There are no shops nearby - ok if you have a car and can drive a few km into Melk.

    8DmitryPosted on: 7-10-2023

    Breakfast, clean, bike rent

    Little bit pricey

    8BarbaraPosted on: 6-12-2023

    Family hotel. Very spaciois room with extra bed, modern furniture, big bathroom, good breakfast, convinient location near enough A1 junction, across Danube river. .

    Glass bathroom door, a bit strange.To me, a bit too high price, but everything else was not available.

    nice place, shame about the staff though

    the owner was not very nice with her young staff, very abrupt and bossing them around in front of guests; rather unprofessional. made us think that we certainly would not want to have to work for someone like her…

    8KaterynaPosted on: 9-17-2022

    beds with a massage !sweets in the room

    noise from the streets - cars passing by

    9JackiePosted on: 8-20-2022

    Right outside to ferry stop and bus stop. Great refurbished room.....nice and quiet.... Had dinner in hotel. Great Vienna Schnitzel!

    8JerelynPosted on: 8-11-2022

    bed has vibration massage mattress, bathroom has bathtub and music player. staff were friendly , place was clean

    the lady boss, a little rude and grumpy most of the time except when we told her we will hv dinner & breakfast at the hotel restaurant and when we were checking out. no air conditioning (they claim it’s built into the ceiling though we found no vents)

    9FranzPosted on: 7-23-2022

    very nice rooms ( superior)very good breakfast

    for the "Baldachin" above the garden should be found another solution. it feels somehow to deeply , killing the atmosphere. I would also suggest to close the kitchen a bit later,

    3Jimmy_357Posted on: 7-18-2022

    parking out front is free. Room clean and good TV

    Surly lady at the front desk will try to double-charge you and then not apologize when she realizes her error. Childrens bikes are all broken so none available. the restaurant is unsuitable for children and the breakfast really mediocre. Better options available

    7AshleyPosted on: 6-20-2022

    Recently renovated modern room. Good location for cycling the Wachau Valley, close to Melk

    The staff (owners?) who checked us in/out were very rude, pushy about us having breakfast in the restaurant. I booked a room with a sofa bed - we did not get this room. The room was very warm!

    9LynnPosted on: 6-5-2022

    We had a very nice one night stay at the hotel. It is conveniently located right off the road. We got there kind of late but they were still there to check us in. We awoke early the next morning and took a walk to/thru the small town and along the river where we viewed the abbey we had visited the day before. The church bells rang. We returned to the hotel for a delicious breakfast.

    Very nice short stay!

    Noice from the road outside the window.
