    It is an old, traditional house and they unfortunately let it wear in part. We were woken up very early in the morning by activities in the street in front of the house: unloading merchandise, garbage collection, or smth of that kind. The windows do not isolate from the outer noise.

    Big appartment. Comfortable beds. Laundry machine - for those interested. Very good breakfast, with local dishes. 7 minutes walk to the Melk Abbey.

    The staff was busy with the restaurant, so it took some time to get to our room. It is an old building, but it's in the central of the city, perfect location.

    Parking is horrible - tight squeeze into park place, you have to move two cars to park yours, assistance of habitats required.

    Location - right in front of a town hall, in the middle of old time. Couldn't possibly be in a better place.

    I would have liked more shampoo/body wash to be there upon check-in. We were 5 people so 1 bottle was not enough.

    Location right in the heart of Melk and the Abbey right there.

    Parking space is challenging to get into (very tight) - it would be tricky with a larger vehicle. Our bathroom had an old fashioned bathtub with hardly any water pressure. But my husband and son had a great shower. The place is old fashioned and quite simple, so if you do not want a luxury hotel, you will enjoy your stay.

    Breakfast was wonderful: a large selection of cheeses, cold cut meat, jams, muesli, nuts, yoghurt, sweet pastry and more...coffee/tea/hot chocolate! Staff was very helpful and kind. Location is brilliant, and the hotel is quaint and charming.

    The decorations are rather cheap, but perhaps, it’s fine for a tiny suburban town. I mean, that it’s an old building, and it’s lovely, but then you put red stickers with the room numbers, and ruin the atmosphere. ) I would love to have a kettle in the room, but maybe, there are no kettles in Austrian hotels altogether. But it’s possible to ask for hot water at the cafe at any time.

    The location is amazing, right on the main square, and we had a view directly to the abbey wall! Everything is clean and rather comfortable. There was plenty of space in the room. The beds are good. The breakfast was sufficient, and its quality was good.

    Finding the cafe for the first time can be tricky as the Madar name attaches to a number of eating and drinking places in the town, owned by the same person. This cafe is halfway up a mainly pedestrianised street. Car access only from the top end via one way streets, then a sharp turn through a narrow gateway into the courtyard. Some rooms are located in a separate building off the courtyard, and up a steep staircase. Check in advance if you have mobility issues.

    Well equipped rooms in a character building, in a character street with a dramatic backdrop. Small private parking in a courtyard behind the cafe. Evening meal available in busy friendly restaurant across the street.

    An extra garbage can for the room would be great. Extra pillows in room would be nice as well.

    Excellent location. Easy and quick walk from train/bus station. Clean, no frills room with firm but comfortable bed, plenty of hot water for bath or shower. Very speedy and helpful service at check in. Excellent, attentive and friendly service from Allison in the breakfast room. She's an asset to your hotel. Varied and plentiful breakfast offering and good coffee.

    Our room was up a long flight of stairs. The free parking lot was accessed through a narrow entryway. The WiFi was poor.

    The rooms were clean and very modern. Breakfast was great and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Short walk to the Monistsary.

    They didn’t refill the food fast enough. Their croissants were delicious, but we could eat only 1. We asked if they will refill them soon, and they answered they had to bake.

    Location is perfect, it’s right in the center of downtown of Melk. We had the abbey view from our room. All restaurants and shops are around the property, well the property has its own restaurant too. The room is cute, a true country side style of room. Comfortable and clean. They change towels every day. The buffet breakfast is very good. Lots of choices. The personnel is courteous. By the way, the facade of the property is very charming, everybody took pictures when they passed by.

    No fly Screens! No lock up bike garage. No AC. Older style TV. As it was hot we had to open our window and there was a SUPER LOUD band playing nearby - FAR TOO LOUD until FAR TOO LATE! Killed the experience and the open window and lack of proper noise isolation made it worse.

    Great location and well kept room and premises. Ok restaurant on site. REALLY nice and helpful/accommodating staff.

    The hotel is a little 'tired' and, with several other options close by, it was a mistake to eat there, the room was adequate and the bathroom on the small side.

    In a nice location in the old town with plenty of restaurants and bars.
