Hotel Landhaus Moserhof

This was a difficult review to write as the location of this hotel is idyllic in a village nestled among the vineyards south of Vienna and the staff were excellent. However, what we were not told when we booked was, in reality, from Monday to Friday this hotel is wholly focused on providing a venue for training and meetings rather than as a hotel focused on guests who are looking for a leisure break. It lacks the size and facilities to cope with both at the same time. We arrived on a Sunday and thought we had chosen the perfect hotel as we sat out in the peaceful garden next to the pool having been warmly welcomed. The following morning we also had a delicious breakfast in the garden. Having had a busy 5 days in Vienna, we then settled into a shaded spot in the garden with our books. However, we quickly found ourselves surrounded by break out groups undertaking various exercises. In all fairness to them, they were not too noisy and the facilitator did ask us whether they were disturbing us. Unfortunately that all changed with the group of bankers that arrived Tuesday. They were loud and obnoxious to the extent we were driven from the hotel during the day and, on the Tuesday evening, essentially ejected from the pool area by an alcohol fuelled team building event (including taking glassware into the pool itself!!). On Wednesday morning, we were enjoying a quiet breakfast at 0845 - and then the same group descended, occupying all of the tables around us in loud problem solving discussions and arguments. Unlike Monday, the facilitator had no interest in whether they were disturbing other guests or not. Thankfully, the groups on Thursday and Friday restricted their events to the conference rooms although, on the Friday we contended with works and lawn cutting - but only when the group had gone to the conference room! We were clearly not the priority of the management! My message to anyone considering staying at this hotel is that if you intend booking at any time between Monday and Friday be prepared to have lots of activity going on around you and for the possibility of evening ‘team building’. For me, what was supposed to be a relaxing break I felt I was back in the office for at least 3 of the days we stayed there. We definitely got the impression that we were just there to fill empty rooms and that the priority was the training groups. I did write to the hotel outlining our experience after our stay but have had no response.

This is such a lovely hotel, I recommend everyone to stay here when visiting Gumpoldskirchen. The hotel is beautiful, nice and cozy with a bit of flair, the staff is charming and warm and the breakfast is amazing. They give you great restaurant recommendations (I went to two of them end really enjoyed it) and you have many wine routes to go for long or short walks. Fully recommend this Hotel for a nice countryside/wine-walk escapade.

Just a lovely relaxing place. Warm welcome, comfy room, many services and amenities. The room was so cozy and comfortable with chair and sofa, excellent bed and more. The hotel is close to Vienna but in a quiet village nearby. I really enjoyed my stay!
