Donau Lodge Ybbs

A business visit was cancelled, so after stopping here by chance for one night on my way back to Italy from Hungaria, I ended up working from the hotel for an extra day. I've travelled a lot for work and otherwise, around Italy, Europe, and other parts of the world, and this is probably the most "charmant" hotel I've ever been to. Ernst is a wonderful, surprising top chef, and also owns both properties. He runs them with his lovely wife Karin and a professional, warm, and very friendly staff. They're a great team. I told them I felt better than at home. Every detail is cared for, the rooms are perfect, the breakfast is superb and breathtaking, and everything is clean and sparkling. It was a great experience. I'll be back very soon with my family. Thanks so much for doing this with such passion for your guests. Paolo / Italy

Everything just works here, and the stay is easy to enjoy and relax in. It's a modern, quiet hotel on a street near the river, with new, spacious rooms and a very comfortable bed. Our balcony had a swing the kids loved, and the staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was good too. Across the street, the same owners run Babenbergerhof, where we had an amazing dinner. Cyclists can leave their bikes overnight in the large locked bike “garage” across the street, and there's a cycling museum nearby.

We didn't stay at the hotel, just stopped for coffee and a snack, but what a gem. The hotel is cute, and its cafe and restaurant were just right. The burrito bowl and club sandwich were excellent, and there was plenty of grassy space for our little one to play. Thanks!

We only stopped by the café downstairs, but it was amazing!
