- Qué tiene: A former convent in Dürnstein · Summer pool · Dogs admitted

A four-star hotel in a former convent in Dürnstein, on the Danube bank, with a garden, a pool from May to September, bike hire and dogs admitted.

The house
The Richard Löwenherz occupies a former 13th-century Poor Clares convent in the centre of Dürnstein, with the cloister garden and the terrace over the Danube. It has double rooms, single rooms, junior suites with a river view and suites, all air-conditioned, and apartments in a separate house. The ruin of the castle where Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned is just above.
Practical matters
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out until 11:00; if you arrive after 18:00, let them know. Although Dürnstein is pedestrianised, guests can drive up to the hotel, with few spaces. The outdoor pool is open from May to September. It hires bikes for €15 and electric bikes for €35 a day, just right for the Danube path. The restaurant opens from mid-April to mid-October and is closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
With a dog
It admits dogs for €20 a night; they may not enter the cloister garden or the breakfast room.
