Riverresort Donauschlinge

This was a great hotel, in a fabulous location for the Danube cycle route. The restaurant staff were lovely and the food was great. We had breakfast included in our stay which offered a substantial choice of dishes, Including fresh omelettes. The bedroom was clean and modern, although no AC. We left the windows in the bathroom and bedroom open, with the door of the bathroom open to allow air to circulate, which worked well and we got a good sleep. The hotel also had a bike shop, for repairs should you need them. Overall a good stay.

We loved this place.! The rooms were very clean and spacious. We loved the view of river off the deck and the authentic furnishings and decor. Food and service were top notch. The breakfast was our favourite meal with honey served from a honeycomb. The location and Roman history made this a unique destination.

We rode the Danube and stopped here by chance. It’s sort of a resort but a little back in time. I really liked it. The room had a giant skylight that you could open to let in cool air in the evening. The dinner and breakfast buffets were huge. Prices were reasonable. We swam in the faux Grecian pool which was fun. Please note that if you are biking from Passau the bike trail ends and you need to take a small ferry which stops in the early evening. So to be sure of being in the right side of the river, you can cross a bridge about five miles earlier.

Just a great stay. We rode here so we’re tired. Quaint ferry to get here. Lovely food. Pool table is ace. Rooms are large. Pool and spa excellent. Lovely balcony . Eat outside. It’s great. Lovely buffet. A large fuss free set up. We were very impressed.

I came to this hotel expecting a nice, relaxing, four-star hotel stay and I was definitely disappointed. Starting with the room. We were in the side of the hotel furthest from the dining room, so just the location made our stay quite frustrating: getting anywhere in the hotel was like solving a maze. We did not get a river view and were therefore overlooking the parking lot. The room itself was not renovated and old-fashioned. We were four people in the room and two of us were sleeping on a pull-out couch. This is already disappointing considering the four stars. The mattress of our 'bed' was extremely thin, and so was the pillow. We were only given thin linens and no blanket. The bathroom was also a problem: the lights flickered, there was only a plug that did not charge our phones, the hairdryer would stop working after 5 minutes of use, and the shower water ran brown. The heater in the bathroom could not be turned on, so it was always a little cold. We were also not given enough towels: for four people we were given two robes and only two big towels. The wellness area was nice, but again not up to the level of what a four-star hotel should be. The pool was big, with some jets, but cold (very cold). The sauna was small but nice, sauna towels were not provided at the pool. The food was decent. The soups were the highlight of the stay, everything else was a bit bland and not very flavourful. The staff was helpful but never asked if we were done with the meal and just took our plates, which was not great. The vegetarian options were lacking a bit. The location and view were great though, we saw a beautiful sunset, and the terrace on the Donau is fantastic.

Stayed with my family over the Christmas period and we truly enjoyed the services of the hotel. The team was very helpful and accomodating to all requests, the rooms and the spa area was really nice as well. The location was great as nature was truly amazing around the hotel.
