Neuhofen an der Krems Vacations from $1,011

Fabulous views of the lake. Great dining options on the property. Terrific spa and pool area. I highly recommend.

This is an amazing hotel. From the check in where you get personal attention from Ulrike and have all questions answered over a glass of sparking wine or tea, to the magnificent rooms, to the wonderful in house restaurant. The location in the old town could not be better. A few minutes walk to the cable car up to the fortress, to the many shops in the old town. Walking bridges are also not far away if you want to walk to the other side of town across the river. If you can book a room on the fourth floor at the top with access to your own roof top sitting area. This is one of the best small hotels I have ever stayed at. Ulrike organised us taxis when needed, and she also organised the ‘Sound of Music’ tour for us - which by the way was a lot of fun, even if you are not a super fan of the movie.

Great vacation spot for sporty activities but also wellness and zoning out. Overall a very good experience regarding accommodation and staff’s recommendations. Despite being a star graded Hotel and therefore classy audience, staff was impressively generous and human. Sometimes even got out of their way to provide a good experience. Breakfast was definitely the highlight and something we always looked forward to - rich in variety, healthy but good choices for sweet tooth’s, great choices for everyone really. Breakfast tables view of the lake is the surplus that matters. The barista experience could have been a bit better but really.. the cookies do make you forget that. Room was tidy and inviting. Although you’d want to spend time outside; chilling inside really was a pleasure. It’s been a bit hot with the sun shining onto the glass front and to be fair the bar was noisy at times but all is manageable. Hotel restaurants rarely are worth a recommendation but this one is for sure - what a blast of traditional Austrian dishes. Would book a table any time. Only downsides might really be the parking which on the other side is also super individual and depending on other hotel guests impressingly creative parking skills. Plus the sauna really could be hotter.
