My husband and I have just spent a few weeks at this hotel and we loved it! First of all, we are talking about a historical, almost a thousand year old settlement (Gumpoldskirchen) with this particular castle (Schloss Gumpoldskirchen) being one of its oldest treasures that still exist! And I am very happy that the hotel's director Ladislaus E. Batthyány-Strattmann is doing such an excellent job managing this object! He does it with so much enthusiasm, with his whole heart and mind, that a couple of times I thought that he could read my thoughts -- so much is he attuned to his customers!!! Second, this hotel has a very pleasant indoor climate, which makes it a real refuge for people with allergies. It is the first hotel that I've been to that has parquet flooring and real wood furniture. No synthetic carpets or plastic furniture! Third, there is a lot of open space and no unnecessary stuff. However, there is everything you do need though (and even more) to be able to relax and enjoy this place and the nature surrounding it. Fourth, the staff are very friendly and customer-oriented. If you have a particular wish, let them know and they'll do their best to provide it. (By this, I do NOT mean a Wiener Schnitzel at 2 a.m., but things that are sensibly doable.) Last but not least, the location itself is absolutely great: vineyards, mountains, quite a bit of forest on the one side, and the old St. Michael church with the bridge to the heart of the old town on the other side... We will miss this hotel, but will for sure be back!!!
