All was superb!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Unique place to stay

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

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

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

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.

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.

Restaurant not open every night and nowhere else to purchase a meal.

I enjoyed the total spiritual experience. Peace and quiet.

My bedroom block was difficult to find. I wandered around for a while with my luggage, until I accidentally met a resident monk who pointed me in the right direction. The directions were explained at reception, but Stift Göttsweig is a big place.

The location is exceptionally beautiful. I had a corner bedroom with two large windows and views just took my breath away. The lock up garage for ebikes was great. The breakfast was self service and very generous. The abbey and the imperial rooms are both amazing places to visit.

Nothing - it was an amazing experience to overnight in a monastery

The breakfast was awesome and the view astonishing

Our friends had a room in the lower section (retreat section). Their room was much smaller, not updated and down steps and long hall. They were not happy

So fascinating staying in such an amazing building. Our room (guest room section) was lovely with beautiful updated bathroom. The shared common room just outside our room was nice too, it had a kitchen

Peaceful and amazing location. Breakfast was outstanding. Common area was convenient for early morning coffee and evening glass of wine, which could be purchased by the glass. It's a great place for reflection even if you're not religious.
