The house

A hotel of the Ebner family in the very centre of Melk, on the Linzer Straße, round the corner from the main square. The rooms are named after Wachau wines: Steinfeder (25 m²), Federspiel and Nibelungen (30 m²), Smaragd (35 m²), and two suites of 55 and 60 m², the larger for four people. Some see the abbey. Downstairs is the house restaurant, with a dish of the day at midday.

Who it is for

It is the comfortable base for starting the Wachau from the west: you arrive by train from Vienna at Melk station, a few minutes' walk away, see the abbey first thing before the groups and the next day go down the valley by bike or boat. It has a bike store with charging for e-bikes and packages designed for Danube cyclists. Reception is open from 7:30 to 20:30; check-out is at 11:00. The restaurant is closed on Mondays.

Getting there
