My husband and I stayed here for only 1 night after a Danube River cruise from Krems last May (we took the train from Vienna to Krems that morning). After arriving, we wished we had planned to stay longer. Melk is a picturesque town, and the Golden Star was quaint and cozy with a friendly staff. The room was very... More

We stayed here for one night on a stop between Hallstatt and Vienna. The location was nice, quick walk from the train station and right under the abbey. The hotel staff was very friendly and we had a nice little view of the town outside our window. We were also able to rent bikes from the hotel and spent the... More

The Golden Star is a okay establishment in a good location but in general overpriced. Pros: Excellent location in the center of town, under the Melk Abbey. Easy access from train station. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Cons: Rooms are crowded with too much decor, bathroom very small, no toiletries provided, breakfast is good but same menu every morning (and... More

We stayed for two nights in the Orange Room, which was well kept, and the beds were nicely made up - the duvets were made into heart shapes. Breakfast was nice, staff were friendly, location was great. We hired bikes from the hotel and cycled along the Danube to Krems and back, about 70km round trip on fairly flat cycles... More

I was travelling alone in Austria and wanted a nice place to rest after a few nights backpacking in hostels. I called from the train station in Vienna and they guaranteed me a room at a certain price. When i arrive I was so happy. The room was clean and big. Although there were no bathroom in the room, the... More

Our room was large and comfortable, and the pension has a great location. But we had problems. We decided to eat at the restaurant, and walked into the dining room, which was full of cigarette smoke. We said "too smoky" and started to walk out. The proprietess, who was standing behind a low counter, said "but this is the non-smoking... More

The staff is nice, outgoing, and speaks English. The reservation process over the internet is quaint - you get an exhaustive description at least 5 pages long... in German. But it's no big deal to navigate it and to secure reservation. The room was really small, but exceptionally nicely done - they really pursue a romantic style. View from the... More

Kurt and Regina couldn't have made us more welcome. The ghastof is spotlessly clean with comfortable en suite bedrooms with a wonderful view over the old town of Melk. Each bedroom has a themed colour and is named after an important person. Breakfasts were very good with a never ending supply of coffee, and each day they varied slightly. Evening... More

We received a very warm welcome on our arrival and were shown to a very comfortable room with plenty of space, a comfortable bed, plenty of table space and a good bathroom. Breakfast was excellent and the owners were most helpful, eager to supply all our needs and give helpful information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our room... More
