Dinner
Gästehaus Benediktinerstift Göttweig offers a delightful breakfast experience, leaving guests full of praise. However, when it comes to dinner options at the monastery's restaurant, travelers might encounter some limitations. The restaurant, praised for its stunning ambiance and exceptionally friendly staff, unfortunately only serves meals until the early evening, closing around 6 PM. This means dinner is not available at the monastery, prompting guests to travel back down to Krems or reserve a snack instead. While the prices for meals are considered high by some, they are deemed appropriate given the unique location. The restaurant’s closure leaves guests longing for a dinner option on-site, especially as alternative dining options can be difficult to reach without a car. Despite these drawbacks, the serene setting allows visitors to enjoy the monastery grounds without the hustle and bustle of crowds, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and photography. Visitors do note a few logistical inconveniences, such as the scarcity of trash bins, but these do not detract from the overall appeal of the establishment.

Additionally, taller guests noted the beds might be shorter than expected, and in some instances, extra beds were deemed harder than desired. Despite these mixed reviews on specifics like bed size and firmness, the overall sentiment leans towards the beds being satisfactory for a good night's sleep.
