Hotel-Restaurant zur Post

We stayed here middle of December 2024 and enjoyed every moment of our stay and the charming town of Melk. The staff is warm and welcoming, the room was clean and lovely, and the food was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the warm and cozy pub room and breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The staff is eager to please and we highly recommend Hotel Restaurant zur Post.

Caught in the September floods, we came upon this hotel, and what a place to be stranded. Supposed to stay one night, we stayed three. All a delight. A family run hotel in middle of town, we decided to eat in one night and go elsewhere, but surprised by the food quality ate there every night. There is no pool, and a pretty basic sauna, but to us that as an irrelevancy. The rooms were picture perfect, but the main attraction was the friendliness of all the staff. Sounds idyllic, but it was.

Hotel Zur Post Hotel was an outstanding example of hospitality! When we checked in, the owner's sister, Ursula could not have been kinder. She helped us in multiple ways and then we settled in to coffee and cake in the little front restaurant. The breakfast was delicious and included the best homemade apricot jam and much personal service by the owner, Marguerite. This was a memorable stay in the lovely village of Melk. It had that feel of an owner who really cares about her property and her guests. And Melk was wonderful!

After walking to the monastery we enjoyed cosy and calm place, sitting outside and having lovely coffee, strudel, wine and ice cream. The waiter Peter was sooo funny and amusing. Hope to come there again.

We had an excellent stay at Zur Post. The room was comfortable and bigger than anticipated. The breakfast was a real highlight - don’t miss the apricot cake or the homemade apricot jam. We also used the bikes to ride on the south bank of the Danube. The ride was beautiful going on the river and winding through vineyards and orchards. Make sure to stop at a heuriger or two along the way.

I didn’t have a booking, but arrived late morning, drawn by the sunny yellow facade. The reception lady was so very pleasant, and couldn’t help me enough. She awarded me a beautiful room with a view of the abbey! I stayed for a delicious dinner in a garden setting, and enjoyed the extensive and scrumptious breakfast. Kudos to Hotel Zur Post. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
