Bernstein-Motel Marchegg

A motel to sleep between the palace and the storks

The Marchfeld has almost no hotels, and this small motel at the entrance to Marchegg is one of the few beds near Schloss Hof. It is run by its owner, Alexandra Pataki, and it is what the name promises: simple rooms, parking in front of the door and modest prices. It is two buildings facing each other with the car park in between. It works for a night's sleep and for doing in two days what one doesn't allow time for: the palace and its gardens, and early in the morning the storks of Marchegg, which nest in the oaks of the March floodplain forest from March to August.

The rooms

It has 22: sixteen doubles, one of them adapted for wheelchairs, three standard triples and three comfort triples. All have the same equipment and can be booked as singles. They have a shower and toilet, shower gel and shampoo, satellite television and free Wi-Fi, and the whole motel is smoke-free. There is a shared kitchen for guests, a closed garage for bikes and one free parking space per room.

Prices and breakfast

The 2026 prices, per person per night, including VAT: €40 in a double, €55 in a single, €32 in a standard triple and €35 in a comfort triple. Added to this are the tourist tax, €2.60 per person per night from age 15, and €9 per night if you bring a dog. Breakfast is not included: it is taken at the Café Bernstein, right opposite, from 6:30 Monday to Saturday and from 8:00 on Sundays and public holidays. You pay by debit card, Visa or Mastercard.

Getting there

By car, the motel is beside the B49, the road that goes down to Schloss Hof, about 7 km from the palace. Marchegg railway station, on the line from Vienna to Bratislava by the north, is 1.5 km away.
