No kettle or any cafe on site for a coffee or tea! Photos of room/hotel show a coffee cup. We had milk and teabags so just needed a kettle. Maybe a vending machine to make drinks would be helpful. Squeaky floorboards, could hear next door arriving and walking about, sounded like they were in the same room. Thankfully they didn’t arrive late and we had earplugs with us. Could be an issue for some people.

Location was good only 5 minutes walk to Abbey and old town. Good parking. Comfortable bed and modern room.

Nothing much.

A small hotel that occupies a small section of a large, old building that seemed very well-maintained. The room and bed were both large and comfortable. Breakfast was simple yet perfect to start the day (the coffee was delicious!). There is plenty of parking and it is just a 10-15 minute walk from the monastery and the centre.

The bldg is a bit like a hospital and overlooks a cemetary. Neither is really disturbing, just surprising. The floor makes cracking noises. Nonetheless one feels at home.

Large room, nice bathroom, great location. Very good breakfast.

Great B&B in part of a large former seminary building, and a mere 10 minute walk from Melk centre and the Stift complex. The good sized room (very high ceiling!) was comfortable and simply furnished, and was extremely quiet even though our room was at the front of the building. Breakfast was very good, and particularly fun was the wine/beer garden operated by the hosts in the early evening (weather depending). Overall, this was an excellent choice of accommodation in this very pleasant and interesting town.

Difficult to find something to mention here as possible improvement. We stayed in Pension l'Etage for the second time now, even if in transit we preferred this place to the standard hotels.

Everything at Pension l'Etage is to be mentioned here in positive note, with a plus for the attention to details in designing the rooms, creating the general atmosphere of french finesse including at the breakfast set-up. Breakfast of really fine quality and assortment.

I arrived on a bicycle, and I was allowed to store the bike in a storage room. I was greeted by the owner, and he told me the best way to walk into town, my room was lovely--very comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious

The difficulty in finding the property

It wasn't easy to find Pension l'Etage. It shares a building with many other institutions and was not very clearly signposted. Once we did find it all was good, the room basic but clean and quiet.

During hot weather, the room would benefit from a fan.

Excellent location, walking distance to abbey, old town, river and train station. Space to park a car or a bike. Large room with smart en-suite. Good breakfast.

The pension is on the 3rd floor of the building and a little difficult to find at the beginning.

The location is close to the main town. The service is great. It is a very easy check-in and check out. The breakfast had lots of variety. The room is spacious with a modern shower and a comfortable bed. The place has a private place to park bikes.

Lovely big modern room, great shower, close to town. Unusual set up in big old building that is shared with other businesses, but we loved it - very different. Huge Carpark. Easy self check in (once you read the email sent). 😊

The “hotel” was in an office building of sorts. It was fine, but knowing we were staying in that type of lodging in advance would have been helpful.

The location was close to everything we wanted to see - the Abbey and the old town - so we could walk once we parked at the “hotel”.

The location is great! And the people taking care of you for breakfast were really nice! Roses on the table made the difference to us 😇

We loved the idea of the pension in the older building, but one drawback was that the floors were a bit creaky. This was especially noticeable at night, both from the neighboring room's floor creaking and when using the bathroom during the night trying not to wake up one's partner.

Robert and his staff were very attentive and accommodating! The rooms were clean and beautiful, and the whole pension felt bright and restful. The breakfasts were also delightful!

Breakfast was disappointing as they ran out of food. Otherwise great value.

Places for clothes storage was a bit limited in room 5. The addition of shelves or drawers would be helpful.

The Continental style breakfast was enhanced by local specialities. Host Robert was very welcoming and friendly. We were allowed to leave our bags in his keeping as we had arrived before check-in time. The room was clean and spacious with stylish decor.

Directional signs from main road are a bit too discrete if you arrive late at night

Excellent breakfast, very nice classic architecture building conversion, nice music in the breakfast saloon, nice and friendly staff. All new and clean.

Lack of on-site reception was not highlighted. Email with check-in instructions could have been sent earlier.

Very good breakfast with great selection of regional produce. Coffee from barista machine was vey good. Good location, short walk to old city. Spacious room with high ceiling. Huge carpark.
