This place gives meaning to “in the middle of nowhere,” located literally in the middle of farms and fields, a kilometer or so southeast of the village of Euratsfeld. It is probably no place you’d visit on its own, but serves very well as a stop off to somewhere else the next day. The nearest attractions of any importance are found in Melk (29 miles), Steyr (25 miles), or in our case the “Gedenkstatte” in Mauthausen (25 miles). The building is a very new facility which has at least 28 rooms in it, plus a restaurant on site. Each room apparently comes with a mini fridge and has good Wi-Fi. The manager is very friendly and helpful, and has excellent English skills, so communication is no issue so far from the beaten path. The good news concerning the facility is that there is an elevator in it; the bad news is that once you have arrived on your floor there are still a few steps in the hallway to be negotiated. The room is very nice sized. There’s lots of space for two people to move around without being in each other‘s way. The bathroom consists of separate rooms for the shower/sink and for the toilet, meaning that there is no tie up in there for two persons at a time. An additional hint: If not visiting in the winter, make sure you do a thorough mosquito check of the rooms before settling down for the night, or you could become some country insect’s meal. All in all, very good value for the money. Would we stay there again if we were in the area? Absolutely!
