Hotel-Restaurant Marienhof — Restaurant in Gemeinde St. Andrä-Wördern

I booked what was sold as a “Luxury tour of Prague, Vienna and Budapest” through a tour operator that specialises in these type of tours. Whilst I expected a certain amount of “dressing up” I didn’t expect the gross misrepresentation of the word luxury. The Hotel Marienhoff was the second hotel in the tour and we were taken there on a nine hour coach trip from Prague, in itself ridiculous. The rooms at this hotel were the most basic I have seen in European 3 star hotel. Sparsely furnished dark rooms with cheap furniture, the bathrooms were clean but old. It is clear that the proprietor, a very hard working lady, struggled to maintain was is an old family business, but there will come a time soon when she will either have to sell or completely refit. The food in the restaurant was expensive but very good and plentiful, prices for alcohol at the bar was extraordinarily high given that they had a captive market and there was nowhere else around for guests to go. The indoor swimming pool is chargeable. A trip into the centre took around 45 minutes on average, but longer in traffic. If I had intended to book a school trip to the Austrian countryside for an exploration of the Viennese Woods I would have thought that the Marienhoff was a reasonable and economical destination. However, if you are planning a trip to visit Vienna, a stunning, stylish and sophisticated city, better to stay in town where a couple of us checked out...

Me and my family went to Unterkirchbach in Austria last week for a confrence for me to attend and stayed at the Marienhof hotel . It's a family-run hotel (currently is the second generation) yet very professional and the staffs are really helpful! ||I had a four-bed spacious room. Wifi which supposely only accesible in the lobby was accesible also from my room😄. The room is clean and the beds were very comfortable! They also have pool, gym and a playing ground just beside the restaurant. What we love the most is the food: Zander fillet! lovely taste 👍👍👍.||The hotel is located not very far from the Wiener wald where you can find a Griefsvogelstation (falconary), nature park and a big playing ground for kids just on the gate of nature park.||The access to this Park and hotel is expensive if you go by taxi (70euro from Wien Meidling!!). But if you go by public transport is indeed easy and lot cheaper. you can take U6 from Meidling to Alsterstrasse, then take tram to Neuwaldegg and bus 445 to Unterkirchbach. All in all the transportion in Vienna is cheap if you buy the 24/48/72 hour...
