Everything a former convent impeccably restored, next to the cathedral. Welcoming staff, excellent food. My third visit to Gurk, surely the best

One more lamp in the room would be great, to be able to read not directly at the desk or in bed.

My wife and I managed only one night and one walk, as we were on our way to our planned holiday in Italy. We can very easily imagine a longer stay here: - The location is indeed very special. Gurk itself has certainly a fantastic setting, but the hotel is the place itself. - The room was very spacious, the bathroom itself had the size of a hotel room :-). We had the luck to have a corner room, with windows facing two directions with great views, but I can imagine that each room is great. - Parking is just right to the entrance, easy. - The staff was friendly and helpful. - We had just the breakfast; the unusual is that you have your table reserved; actually the system is fine, particularly if the place is more busy than during our stay. The choice and the quality was very good. Apart from the pre-paid meal we had a little wine and coffee in the coffee next to the reception desk, and it was great. - You can make walks or trips around, the countryside just invites for that. And you can hire a bike, if you decide only later. - A cozy little sitting area in the room, if you want to just sit what a while with your cup of tea/coffee (tea/coffee making possible in the room). - WiFi was available and working.

The rooms were very nice, clean, and comfort. The breakfast and a dinner were just amazing. The stuff was friendly. Absolutely recommend the stay and I will definitely come again.

Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. However, our could have been better cleaned, and at breakfast, the quantities could have been better managed so they would not run out of some items nor waste others.

The location and the building renovation are great. The room is large, with high ceilings and modern furniture. It is quiet and peaceful. The bathroom is also spacious. Overall, the facilities make a comfortable stay, and the surrounding area is beautiful for walking and driving around. Straßburg Castle nearby gives insights into the local history.

One thing i would change was the missing tourist information in different language than german, all brovhures flyers even the QR code information was only in german as same as at the reception. Personal was fluent in english, but i had to use wikipedia to get to know something about the surroundings

The accomodation is quite unique, its a very interesting chance to live in the old convent and even thouhgh it might be scary, the energy is peaceful and nice, you also live close to the beautiful church. Accomodation itself is great and we really enjoyed the spacious room.

It’s a perfect place to have rest. The view is amazing! Calm and cozy. The room was very big with excellent linens and pillows. Just walls were left from the monastery. Everything is modern and new. The service is perfect, we arrived late but had drinks and snacks at the bar. The breakfast is buffet, you will have a great variety of foods. It’s a pretty nice place to explore the nature and local cuisine! We will come back for sure!

Only thing I would add is for there to be a small fridge in the room.

The location is excellent. Hotel is brilliant. Staff are very attentive and always willing to help. Rooms are big and cannot say this enough, hotel is wonderful.

Unique type of building and feeling of staying there 😀

This location is really special. The romansque architecture of the building matches the modern interior design. All the staff members are really engaging in making your stay pleasant. The breakfast was extensive and really good.

The blankets might have been a bit too warm for that time of the year.

Really nice staff; special location at the monastery; awesome breakfast selection; nice and really clean rooms.

The breakfast buffet was slightly disappointing at moments. We prefer to have breakfast between 9-10 and the first morning of our stay there wasn't much food left. After asking the kitchen staff, bread and croissants were supplemented. The other two days (sat+sun) this was better. Also, it seemed as if the toppings (scrambled egg, ham, cheese etc) were placed at the buffet directly at start of breakfast in the early morning and not touched/re-filled after, making it look slightly 'unattractive' 2-3 hours later. Nevertheless, there was plenty of choice so eventually we found something of our appetite all 3 mornings. Signing on where to find the parking and main entrance could be more clear.

The atmosphere of the hotel was amazing. An imposing building that was (seemingly) recently renovated while preserving the authentic details, making it a unique venue. The room was large and very clean, the bed was comfortable and we had more than enough space to store our luggage. The staff was friendly and helpful too.

The location is mystical. A wonderful, quiet place to escape the city madness. Rooms are spacious and the view from the windows just beautiful. Staff is friendly and always willing to help and make your stay as pleasant as possible. Good and various breakfast. Dog friendly which was so important to us.

What a super hotel. A former nunnery which retains some of the feel of a religious building in that the decor is white, the corridors and staircases wide and there is an air of peace. Our room was generously sized, the wide bed amazingly comfortable, and the bathroom well appointed.

The hostess at the reception and later at the bar was particularly helpful and friendly. Made the evening that much more memorable.

The bells of the church ring every 15 minutes + a larger bell rings every hour - EVEN AT 1 A.M all night. Impossible to sleep. This was a torture.

The building and the atmosphere of the hotel was nice

Quiet a long walk to and from the bedrooms

The staff were very friendly and it was right next to the town.
