We stayed during a warm spell in October 2018 at the end of a long weekend in Vienna / Bratislava. Geographically, this Hotel is on the way back from Bratislava. If you take a day trip to that city from Vienna, the “Flixbus” (An experience in itself) brings you back via the airport for under 10 euro each, then a taxi to the Hotel and back to the airport was 35 euro each way. The food at this Hotel is superb and we felt really welcomed as the host explained each dish in perfect English. Minibar prices were the cheapest we’ve ever seen, and all the bottles were chilled to perfection. I wish we had used it.. also that I had remembered to take my half used bottle of iced tea, out of it.. The room facilities (Rm. 204) were excellent, we enjoyed an outside balcony with chair and table, big wardrobe, separate WC, twin basins and a large walk in shower - but if there was a kettle with tea and coffee in there, we didn’t find it. ||Breakfast in a sunny conservatory area was also excellent and the drive to the airport took only 15 minutes. We were sitting on the flight, less than an hour after leaving the Hotel. ||Another rather charming aspect of this provincial Hotel is that you can chat to local farmers and townsfolk who pop in for coffee or beer at their small bar, too. It is a friendly and well run Hotel, and an integral part of a quiet Austrian town. Thankyou mein host, for a warm welcome, great service and a...

Read moreThree of us came without a reservation. Unfortunately, that was a minor mistake as the restaurant is extremely popular. Nevertheless, we got seats at the regulars' table (thank you). We had an non-alcoholic cocktail, which was excellent. It was a little too sweet for my taste, but the other two liked it. As a starter, we were given a large selection of different bread rolls (nut bread, olive bread, salted bread sticks and white bread) with two different spreads (horseradish/truffle (white) and a kind of Liptauer (orange)), plus super olive oil. We also got salt, pepper and extra olive oil. Excellent. Then we had a parmesan foam soup garnished with basil. The flavour was perfectly balanced. The starter is included in the price. I had a roast beef with onions, parsley potatoes and a sauce. Incredibly tender and delicious. The second dish was a burger with fries. The meat was incredibly tender and just spot on. It also came with pickles, onions and mustard (unfortunately we couldn't tell whether this was with the burger or the roast beef). The lamb in curry and pumpkin sauce with rice was also excellent. The lamb was very tasty and exactly cooked on the spot. The best food in Austria so far in terms of price/performance ratio. The staff were extremely polite. Restaurant is to be highly recommended, the proximity to the airport 15 minutes away makes it...
