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)

I stayed there with my 80 years old Dad and just can't be grateful enough for all the hospitality, helpfulness and kindness with which they have treated us. We spent an amazing 4 days there. The breakfast was great, big selection of everything. There's also a restaurant where you can have lunch or dinner, very very tasty. If we come back this place will be definitely our choice again. Thanks again!

The location was good, the rooms were great, the bathroom was large and spacious and the breakfast was excellent

There was no airconditioning and so we had to keep the windows open - and the traffic sound was awful! The property is right on the road and so passing cars and trucks make quite the noise.

Set beside a lake and the river Danube, there's nice woody lake walk right outside the door, the food was delicious and the owner was very attentive. Breakfast was delightful too. Very pleased we stayed here and would happily stay again. Nice cosy place with a warm homely feeling.

Nothing

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.

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.

Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, the room was spacious and clean, Andrea, the owner, went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable, the location was great and the castle ruins just above made a lovely backdrop!

There was nothing we didn't like!
