Hotel Donauhof Mauthausen

Fantastic hotel on the side of the Danube.. Looks really modern on the outside, the rooms follow this theme and are large and immaculately clean and so quiet at night. Yet, when you go into the bar/restaurant it is like going into a traditional Austrian Gasthof, absolutely brilliant! The staff were all really friendly (we turned up hot, sweaty and tired in motorcycle gear..they didn't blink an eye😃) Food, evening meal and breakfast, was superb, as was the beer and wine!

I booked this hotel for my business trip to Linz. The hotel location is very good, over seeing the Danube and not far from Linz. The hotel staff were very helpful and kind. Breakfast was good with many good options, including healthier ones. The room was very clean and modern. The only "down" side was booking, I couldn't find English language on their website, but it was still manageable.

We were traveling on a bike trip from Amsterdam to Budapest and we stayed here one night. It’s a very nice property but after staying in over 20 hotels during this trip we have always made a small sandwich at breakfast to take for a snack or lunch on the road. Previous hotels have been super gracious with providing these. While we prepared these today, the hostess said that we are not allowed to take them, we must eat them at breakfast. We were stunned and gently protested to no avail so we left them to be wasted on our plates. We paid about €150 for both rooms so this policy seems inappropriate. Also, we noticed, comparing our level of consumption to other guests, that we ate significantly less anyway. A warning or request to be discreet would have been appreciated since now the food went to waste. What would have been a wonderful stay left us all with a very negative impression of the hotel.
