Reviews of Gästehaus Benediktinerstift Göttweig - Bed & Breakfast Monastery

The peace, serenity, architecture, history , location and uniqueness

Slightly sparse room

Really magnificent and clean rooms. My dream was to spend time in real monks chamber and I got it. Atmosphere is fantastic and personnel is great and friendly. One can of course have a room from some other hotel but then he missed a experience of life time.. I love that place.

All was superb!

Location is an absolute highlight, terrific views, plenty of history, excellent refuge for switching off from day to day life. Very professional management, a small misunderstanding we had was resolved quickly and efficiently, customer service was very comforting, the staff gets our highest marks for this. The rooms are all located in a historical building, not TV or phone is allowing you to relax, however they will leave you your cellphone in case you need something. :) Beds surprisingly comfortable, at least for us it was so. We missed our breakfast due to very poor discipline as we like to sleep till midday, but the terrace on which they serve the breakfast is amazing and provides stunning views on Wachau Krems region, we always visit it to relax with a glass of great wine from Stift Göttweig winery. So even if you miss your breakfast, do not skip the terrace.

Better photo information onsite to understand what you will be booking exactly could be helpful, but this is a minor issue. Otherwise nothing.

Perfect historic location. Spectacular view from the restaurant. Good food.

There was no fridge in our room # 8.

Location. Staff

The location is amazing, to wake up there is one of the most relaxing feeling that I got.

The uphill to the location was much more steep and demanding in effort that I was expecting. I was there with a bike, and this was not an easy ride there. It is not so much a negative as something you need to know.

Exceptional abbaye you must visit with Museum and peacefull garden along the Danube R1 bicycle road. They produce delicious apricot marmelade and liquor but also wine and have a nice shop. I advise you to book a room for one night as they have gasthaus residence. Also an excellent restaurant. Garage for bikes with power load is available. You will get a spiritual and nice experience.

The location in the Abbey, the stillness and quietness of the sleeping areas, the facilities for guests, safe parking, lovely breakfast with a visit from the monks to greet you, all made our stay magical.

The WiFi is OK in the rooms, it could be stronger. There was no WiFi in the restaurant not even for guests of the monastery.

The view is amazing. Would suit more for anyone who needs tranquility and need an escape from a busy life style. The surroundings are wonderful. Staff was helpful friendly. Super clean rooms. Fairly good breakfast on the breathtaking terrace. Can easily communicate in English. Couple of cities to visit around including short cruise on the Danube river.

It is definitely not in the competitive hospitality business. Provides only the most basic facilities in the room. They have mostly rooms with no view. But of course there are many places if you need to enjoy the view other than the room. But the fact that they advertise rooms with view is a bit misleading. If the price can be adjusted to the facilities or improve on the facilities a bit would be great.

It was simply perfect! Very clean, quite, friendly staff. Very pieceful in the evening.

There is no public transport on the weekend. I asked some people to drop me there. The restaurant is open until 18pm. Think to take some food with you for the evening.

Unique place to stay

Hard to reach by a public transportation

Great staff, very accommodating to my mother whose 84. Organized, great breakfast, lovely.

Dinner isn't available after 6pm. In summer that's really too early to lose access to food.

Our stay was such a beautiful experience 😍 The room was huge, clean and comfortable. The abbey, its gardens, the panorama around it were perfect to enjoy on a sunny day. We loved the self-made drinks. The restaurant was also good, the breakfast - fresh and rich.

One of the ladies at the reception was not very friendly but all the other staff were great.

Unbelievably clean. Very warm inside all of the rooms. Welcoming personnel. Great breakfast and views

Old and spiritual atmosphere and Very excellent and modern restaurant

The windows of the rooms did not have screens and various insects came into the room.

The setting is in a historical building and it is fantastic. The room is simple but tastefully decorated and super clean. The view is amazing.

It is on the expensive end considering what I have paid. There is no water boiler, coffee or tea in the room. Basically one just sleeps in there.

Amazing place with a great atmosphere! The monastery is situated on a hill with stunning views of the surroundings, the rooms were adequate and clean. There's an option to use the shared kitchenette and seating in the common room. Very good and rich breakfast, which we enjoyed on the absolutely divine terrace with a fabulous view! You can also purchase monastery beer or wine. We will definitely be happy to return here.

Excelent historical place and good location for the trips to Vachau valley.
