If youâre planning to visit Melk Abbey, be aware that Hotel Donauhof is not within walking distanceâyouâll need to take a taxi, which costs about âŹ16 each way. Alternatively, there's a bus that runs only once per hour.
The hotel provides no in-room amenitiesânot even, tea or bottled waterâand there is no air conditioning, which can be uncomfortable in the warmer months after June. There are no activity area around the hotel, with no restaurants nearby except the hotelâs own. During our stay, the elevator was out of order, and we had to carry our suitcases up the stairs.
If you're visiting Melk Abbey, I would recommend staying in Melk itself. You'll find similar or lower prices, access to a charming small town, and several dining options within walking distance.
