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

    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.

    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.

    Only thing I would not recommend as a cyclist is staying the Sunday night as it was a rush to get something to eat at the property before they closed the restaurant.

    Stayed here as part of a cycle ride along the Danube. Stunning location and great images from afar.. room was a good size and the same for the bathroom. Added bonus we stayed on a Sunday night so after the reception and restaurant closed up. You had the place to yourself for taking pictures without lots of people around. Rooms facing the courtyard do get a little warm

    An amazing location in the peace and quiet of a wonderful monastery with glorious views over the surrounding countryside. Excellent breakfast sitting either inside or out on the terrace with great views towards the Danube. The bedroom and ensuite bathroom were very good, clean, plenty of space and all that we needed. The monastery, abbey, museum and grounds are well worth visiting with so much historical interest.

    A Benedictine Monastery on top of a hill. Steep climb, on bicycles, to reach it but very worthwhile. Breathtaking views over the surrounding area in all directions. Comfortable room with emphasis on quiet contemplation. A guests' kitchen was available if desired. The cafe/restaurant/bar closed at 18:00. Helpful reception staff. Beautiful buildings to walk around. Exceptionally good self service breakfast on the terrace (in sunshine when we were there!). Bicycles stored under cover.

    To equip with a kettle and hairdryer would be nice. No aircon so it might be hot in warm weather.

    Very special and unique place, inside an ancient monetary and on top of the hill looking over the valley. Simple but clean and comfortable. Especially if you are seeking peace of mind or to meditate, this is the place to be….

    The sunsets from the terrace were spectacular.

    The location 10-15 min drive from all main tourist attractions, yet if rite on top of the hill so you get a quiet peaceful stay. If you want to live in a lively happening area this i not the place for you.
