We stayed at the hotel for two very enjoyable nights on a bike tour. Although there are no…read moreelevators the staff was kind enough to bring about very heavy bags both up and down to the lobby. We ate as a group of 7 both nights in their restaurant - asparagus soup; fish; venison - all outstanding!! The staff was overwhelmingly helpful; professional; and genuinely friendly. We highly recommend this wonderful hotel and area (the wineries were so special). Enjoy!!

Came here after seeing excellent reviews on Yelp…read more Not impressed. Waited about 15 mins to get seated even though multiple tables were empty. The staff is limited and looks exhausted. Quite tight seating. Restrooms are not accessible by people with limited mobility. No baby changing stations. The food is okay. The schnitzel was fine and so was lamb. Okay to eat but not memorable. Caprese salad was tasty. In conclusion, if you are passing by and hungry, feel free to stop by. If you are looking for a memorable lunch/dinner experience, plan to visit a different establishment.

The wienerschnitzel was very dark, a minute more and it would have been burnt. The venison ragout was so dry. And the goulash had hardly any tomato or paprika flavor. We sat outside and were swarmed by bees. Overall, one of our worst meals in lower Austria.

Would def recommend.

I came here for lunch and enjoyed the stuffed artichoke, fried oyster mushrooms, and tafelspitz…read more(boiled beef). Their version of tafelspitz had fried breadcrumbs on top of the beef and was served with an herbed bread pudding. I liked their take on it. While I enjoyed my lunch, I thought the prices were quite high for what I got (1 star off). The total came out to around €65, which included a bottle of water for €7.50. The wooden booths were uncomfortable. Not only were they hard to sit on, they were difficult to get in and out of if you were dining with a group. The wooden booths did add to the old Austrian gastropub charm though. Service was kind of hit-or-miss (1 star off). Our waiter started out nice, but became increasingly absent throughout the meal. At the end of the meal, we asked for split checks and he became visibly annoyed. He split the check randomly and unevenly (?) and we had to ask him to split it properly. This of course irritated him more. I didn't think our request was unreasonable. We could not have been the first group to ask for split checks.

Frankly, Knoll Loibnerhof was not our first choice for the late October evening, as we lived in…read moreDurnstein (2 km from there), and we were looking for some restaurant in Durnstein. But it was a Sunday evening and all was closed, quite, silent. Therefore, we decided try that famous Knoll place, which is usually pretty busy ... and a bit posh. But I have to tel you, we have got the best experience. Great soups (a Fish Soup with safran, a Goose Soup with liver dumplings), Roasted Pork with Dumplings, a delicious Tafelspitz, and Plum Dumplings, hmm. All accompanied with a wonderfully fresh Gruener Veltliner Federspiel Knoll 2012. The pride of this restaurant is its spacy orchard garden, of course, but it was too late and too cold to sit outside. So we were inside this time, in a nice and clean, blue-green interier, with nice white tables. We will be definitely coming back. Thank you!
