Maybe the breakfast that was optimal and very good, but not extraordinary like all the rest. Probably the dinner its their masterpiece but i arrived too late and could not taste. Not a critic but i had to think a lot to find…..not a leak but something that could be improved. All the rest i think its impossible to improve, its charming and majestic by all points of view

Top in everything. Incredibile XV century location (i cant find the proper therm) but maybe jewel instead of location

No comment.

A romantic castle with its roots around 1492. The room was nice. Meals were being served in the patio, which was very special snd romantic. The personnel was very good and helpful. The hotel is dog-friendly.

Breakfast was great

The only negative I have which isn't the hotels responsibility is the constant flow of traffic and large groups of motorcyclists going up and down the road, night and day.

This is a beautiful building full of character. The rooms are a good size and everything was clean. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and I especially liked the courtyard. The hotel's beach area was restful and fun..

Some of the doors didn't close except to lock them

Nice place, beautiful yard. Kids loved the hotel park

Especially the fantastically friendly staff needs mentioning. Apart from this the hotel offers nicely decorated castle ambiance, a pretty courtyard for breakfast and dinner and lake access with its own beach club. We had a great stay.

Nothing, just note that if you requested a late checkout, it will not be free (which is completely understandable of course).

This place is magical, with its cozy yet classy feel and its beautiful access to the lake. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating (not only at the reception but also at breakfast, what a great attitude they all had) , the room was clean and orderly, the buildings looked exceptionally well kept.

With a slim budget one would miss one of the best accommodations around, since it is somewhat pricey, though again, worth it if you have it. Hard to really come up with another negative with this place.

The waiters, staff and owners were nothing less than perfect! The room was clean, well furnished, comfortable and worth the price. The food was wonderful for breakfast and dinner, with enjoyable waiters

Hard to fault. Staff couldn’t do enough for you.

Really historic building with incredible original architecture and preserved fabric.

No extra blankets or pillows in the room, as the pillows were very flat. They once forgot to refill our toiletries, but were very apologetic after. It is also the only Tesla Destination Charger that I had to pay for...

Premises are absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. Hotel is really clean throughout, with helpful staff always ready to assist you (in English) as best they can. Restaurant menu is top notch, and we were lucky to get a traditional Austrian menu on the Monday, and lush BBQ grill on Thursday. Breakfast is elegant, even if lacking in sweet options (cakes/croissants/cookies).

Room was on the small size

Great location, friendly helpful staff, beautiful outdoor seating area

The WiFi really only works in the main building. Would have really appreciated if reception had asked if we wanted a Kärnten Card upon check in or at least mentioned that it is available to guests Room was a bit dated

Leonstain is such a lovely hotel, full of character, beautiful grounds, fabulous beach club. Was lovely to be „welcomed back“ by the reception team, some hotels don’t seem to recognise returning Booking.com guests… Room was probably bigger than what we had booked.

I and my wife stayed around 30 years ago. this time Irecognized that the reserves good old coutryside atmosphere. last time I felt Johannes Brahms everywhere in Poertschach, but this time I did not feel J.Brahms in the town, but the hotel maintain somewhat atmosphere of Brahms age, it is very important i thonk. house is old but good and we stayed comfortably. all staff were so friendly that we could share the dinner plate.

1. The room, while large and nice, was located next to the road which meant road noise throughout the night. Not an issue if you close the windows but in the heat, that makes sleeping not so comfortable (with no air conditioning) 2. Breakfast was ok. The omelette made to order was quite nice, a good selection, but for a 4 star hotel I would expect fresh bakery products, and not the processed packaged items you buy in the supermarket (like those offered croissants were dry and tasteless). 3. The beach club associated with the hotel, most of the staff there were nice, friendly and helpful, except for one person there who couldn’t have been more annoyed at us by our request to set up a sun bed and our question about non-alcoholic cocktails (I’m pregnant) to which the answer was just a no. Just FYI, they do have cocktails. and the friendly staff were happy to make a non alcoholic cocktail afterwards

Location was nice, close to the lake and different restaurants. Staff at the hotel were nice, friendly and helpful.

Location. There is train and main road among the property

Breakfast and the place at lake just 2 minutes from the lake accros the main road

The rooms are outdated and some are full of moisture so it's an unbearable smell. Our towels were not changed and after the liquid soap ran out, we did not receive another one.

The outdoor courtyard, the location and the greenery are the ones that must be appreciated

Stayed in August 2024

The rooms were unfortunately not very clean with a thick dust layer on the phone next to the bed and hair of previous guests on the chair in the bathroom. I understand that the hotel and the furniture are quite old but I think it can still be expected that the facilities are thoroughly cleaned. The hotel is also located next to the train tracks, which was quite disturbing while sleeping, unfortunately. We also had a very unpleasant encounter with the owner or lessee of the castle when we had concerns about our stay. The way he addressed those concerns and the way he talked to us clouded our entire stay, unfortunately.

The hotel itself is very beautiful as it is located in an old castle with a beautiful courtyard and wonderful hotel beach. I also want to highlight that most of the staff was very nice, especially Ms Daria who was absolutely lovely and the nice and accommodating man who works on the hotel beach (Leon beach) but whose name we unfortunately didn't get to know.

This is definitely not a 4 star hotel. It's not even 2. The property is very badly maintained.It is very overpriced,350 euro per night is unbelievable . Everything is very old,like taken from garbage,smells very bad. Pillows look and feel like they were used without cleaning for years. When we arrived it was +34 degrees outside and there was NO air-conditioning, they just didn't have them. Very noisy ,as far as it's between main road and railway.We were very,very disappointed,we had to move immediately to another hotel. And they charge us 700 euro anyway. Avoid this place.

Nothing except that it's an old castle

Stayed in August 2024

the rooms had a lot of fabric covered furniture and floor, but probably dusty and hasn’t been cleaned for a long time. we had to leave and find another hotel because we had allergic reactions.

it’s a charming old castle with a nice garden.

The rooms and the hotel are in big need of renovation. Not at all acceptable for the price

The friendliness of staff especially at breakfast The new facilities at the lake (Leon beach)

Stayed in August 2023

We stayed in an annex building, in the “Junior suite”. I do not recommend. It is extremely dingy/dirty in places. There was one functional socket and it was falling off the wall. Doors full of dry rot, the toilet door doesn’t close. Up steep, rickety stairs. Carpet stained, floor creaky enough to wake the dead, musty and stinky. No internet/Wi-Fi (when mentioned to the reception, was told it was because of the weather). Cleaning lady started vacuuming outside the door at 8 am. Dinner was good but service amateur and slow. Breakfast selection meager and shabby. Bad coffee.

Very handy for us a roadside stop

The pictures are beautifully taken, but in reality it is a somewhat disappointing experience for the price paid. A busy road between the hotel and lake. A railroad just behind, backlog in maintenance, a moderate kitchen. So limited value for money, taken into account.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Within the hotel there was a wonderful historical courtyard where breakfast and dinner was served.
