Wirtshaus Gruber is a small family-owned and operated property offering the traveller authentic experiences of Austrian hospitality, food and beverage. The property is spotlessly clean and well presented; the staff are very helpful and friendly and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The owner is a very capable chef so the meals here are first-rate and provide excellent value for money. Our room faced the highway but was not compromised by adverse traffic noise; in fact we left a window open all night to offer a little additional cooling and we slept soundly without being disturbed. The room was large, light and airy; the bathroom able to accommodate 2 people at once. The recreation area opposite the property was a hive of activity during the warm weather and we spent a large part of one day in the cool shade of a large tree just relaxing, watching families enjoy paddleboat, swimming and sail board activities. People using this recreation area were very friendly.

There was nothing we didn’t like. We were a little surprised to find there were no snacks available at the bar - such as potato crisps or nuts - to nibble on while enjoying a drink.

We had a wonderful time in the beautiful Wachau! Staff were lovely and went above and beyond. Very family friendly (they even have a play area!). The Danube lake it right opposite the property which offers swimming, a play area and nice walks.

The only downside is that public transport isn't great (there's a bus stop right outside the door which runs during the week, on the weekend we had to walk ~30 Minutes to Emmersdorf)

Great location, friendly staff. I stayed here as a stopover while traveling along the Donauradweg. The host and staff are very welcoming and I certainly felt like I was home. The rooms are well organised, clean, and comfortable and offers everything you need for a good night's rest. The room includes a power socket with multiple USB ports which is perfect for charging all the electronic devices I use for cycling (watch, headphones, cell phones etc). The included breakfast is delicious and nurioushing-dont forget to try the homemade apricot jam! The on-site restaurant offers a wide range of tasty home-cooked meals and the outdoor area provides a wonderful setting with flowers and decorations. Just across the road, there is a nice little park which overs a great afternoon for relaxing and a swim. Look out for a view of Stift Melk in the distance.

We really enjoyed our stay in Wirtshaus Gruber. The location is perfect - straight next to Danube, small beach and the cyclo-path. We had spacy room with a big bathroom and a balcony. Owners of the place were excellent hosts and we loved the home-made apricot marmelade (bought a bottle home as well)! On the corridor there was a small common area with a minibar and dishes - perfect when you buy your own little snack.

The hotel is right next to the road. It can get bit busier, however, we did not have trouble falling asleep.

We were on a biking trip down the Danube, and looked for accommodation close to Melk. This wirthaus is very delightful, old yet with all mod cons. The restaurant below is excellent. There is a separate garage to store safely our ebikes, with tools. The ride to Melk was about 15 minutes.

The accommodation was clean and very pleasant. The host was kind, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was very good and dinner was delicious. The country Inn is across the road from the Danube, where there is a recreational area for swimming, sunbathing and beach volleyball. The Inn is also ideally situated for exploring the beautiful Wachau Valley.

Room was big enough and clean. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was really good. Andrea was very helpful and super kind. She helped us pay a car fine which we didn't know how to do it. I'd repeat this place for sleeping around Melk.

Nothing

All the details that Andrea did for us (like giving us the room with balcony from where we could see the Abbey, offering any kind of help with our child etc.) were making the stay just incredible! Also, the food was tasty, the location was great and it is a very good place to go with kid!

Actually I don't know what can be improved as we were very happy with everything that we have received. Maybe a free bottle of water in the room? I think these are just technicalities though :)

Spacious room and bathroom, clean. Good attitude of the owners. Good breakfast.

Many cars were driving in front of the house. With the window open, it is not comfortable, but when it is closed is good.

It's a nice place with very professional, supportive and friendly staff :) The room was very clean. The access to Danube is just in front of hotel, the restaurant has a pleasant terrace, there is also parking. Kids friendly. Would return again!
