- Werner (9/5): -
- Vangelis (10/5): - I don't think I've ever scored a place 10 out of 10 but I will do it this time. We have been travelling with the family around Europe for 10 days during the holidays and have stayed in many places and this one easily surpassed them all.
- Fantastic location
- Beautiful hotel with stunning views and a very large elegantly decorated room
- Super comfortable beds
- Fresh breakfast in the middle of the Alps
- Very friendly staff
- Reasonable pricing (especially vs places of lower quality in Vienna)
Worth mentioning: we were travelling from Vienna to Seckau on New Year's late in the evening and the staff called us to say the reception would close at 19.00 and since there were no places open around to eat because of the day they would prepare a platter of cold cuts and leave it in the room.
Thank you so much

- Alexander (10/5): Kleines Hotel, große Show. - Wunderbares Personal. Sehr schönes Haus. Erstklassiges Zimmer. Bei der Abfahrt haben wir vergessen Trinkgeld zu geben. Das ist uns sehr peinlich.
- Johanna (10/5): - Incredibly beautiful surrounding, ideal for short walks, hiking. If I could choose a place to live, I would move there. The Hofwirt was above expectations. Super clean and comfortable, nice staff. We enjoyed sitting in the orchard behind the building on a bank with mountain view next to a brook.

- Ulrich (10/5): - Der Hofwirt ist ein aussergewoehnliches Hotel mit sehr schoenen, grossen Zimmern. Alles wurde mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Das Personal besticht durch seine Freundlichkeit und Aufmerksamkeit, so dass man sich ab der ersten Minute wie zu Hause fuehlt. Nicht verpassen darf man das Restaurant, mit tollen regionalen Produkten. Der Grillabend war definitiv mein Favorit. In den Hofwirt werde ich jederzeit sehr gerne wieder einkehren. Mit oder ohne Uebernachtung.
- Roman (10/5): Exceptional - historic and perfectly renovated building, very friendly staff and service
- Dikla (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing staff, that gave us great recommendations for day hiking at the area, on top of great service

- michi11211 (10/5): Beautiful hotel and tasty food in the restaurant - We enjoyed our stay at Hofwirt hotel very much. We had dinner in the restaurant, which was very tasty and the portions were agreeably big. There was something wrong with our dinner, but staff reacted professionally and apologized and treated us to a dessert. We left with a very good impression also about the rooms, which were spacious, clean and very comfortable. Only they could have been heated a bit more because it was already quite cold outside.
Breakfast is served, and very varied since you can order whatever you like from the menu.
Staff generally is very friendly and professional, they treated us kindly and politely. We also enjoyed the small treats in our room and the gifts we got at check-out.
We can highly recommend both the hotel and the restaurant.
- chriswZ9085GM (10/5): Sensational location, food and service - We have regularly gone back to Seckau as family buried there and often taken friends who would not normally roam off the tourist main roads or cities. All are amazed how peaceful and picturesque the hotel (built in 1603) and heavily renovated by Red Bull in recent years. The 800 year old Abbey is 200 metres away and a walk up into the forest is a must. Tim and other staff members are friendly and professional.
- ivanp322 (10/5): Best dish I ever tasted. - My wife and I stopped for lunch near the Benedicitne monastery in Seckau. The hotel is beautifully restored, we ate out under the trees. I had nut crusted pink fried venison on creamy sweet potato paste with Brussels sprouts. We have had many fine meals all over the world but this dish was the best I. Have ever tasted. The creamy sweet potato was unbelievable. I would love to know the recipe.
It's a bit hard to find, but well worth the effort.
- Paul (10/5): - super!
- marvinge (8/5): Marriage Special and Culture - Visiting the world famous Benedictine Abtei Seckau we took a rest in the beautiful garden of this fine Hotel/Restaurant
they showed us in the historic part a very beautiful bridal suit and a number of fine big sized rooms.and there is a real big and beautiful build grand conference/ festival / multi purpose annex for big affairs
not only for weddings this is a very nice corner in Styria
- M+M (10/5): Historische Gemäuer in den Bergen - Schon der Empfang ist sehr herzlich und freundlich und wir wurden auf unsere Zimmer gebracht.
Diese Freundlichkeit und zog sich über unseren gesamten Aufenthalt so das man sich auch willkommen fühlt.
Die Zimmer bieten alles was man braucht und sind entsprechend des Gebäudes geschmackvoll eingerichtet.
Die Küche ist qualitativ sehr gut und auch vom Preis her angemessen.
Auch das Frühstück hat uns beeindruckt top!
Bei Planungen für Aktivitäten/Ausflüge wird einem sehr geholfen.
Falls es uns wieder in die Region verschlagen sollte dann sicher wieder in den Hofwirt.
- CasssandraCat (8/5): Good restaurant - This is a review of the restaurant, not the hotel.
You would not expect a restaurant of very good quality in this area, which is normally dominated by rural places to have a beer with your neighbors and to discuss events in the village.
However, the Hofwirt had the luck to be renovated and revived as part of Red Bull's "Projekt Spielberg", an initiative to finally do something for the region.
So the restaurant is in impeccable condition and ready to fulfill high expectations without losing its cozy appeal. The menu is not large, but features a range of down-to-earth as well as upmarket dishes. The vegetarian selection could be expanded, but the very friendly staff does everything to help you, and the kitchen is all too happy to modify their dishes.
**
If it had not been for a family with two loud and nasty little kids, we would have a wonderful experience celebrating my parents' 40th wedding day. I loved my pasta with fresh forest mushrooms, my sister had a beautiful river fish, and my parents went for something very robust and meaty (maybe to gain some strength for additional decades of marriage). Accompanying drinks were also very good.
Now I don't mind kids too much as long as they are well behaved, but my patience ends when they kick & scream & run around for more than an hour without a word from their parents. Finally one of them peed on the newly upholstered seat cushions - something the personnel treated with admirable composure and friendliness. But this really made me wish that some parents would stick with McDonalds instead of spoiling an otherwise great restaurant experience!
- Rasmussen (10/5): - Fantastisk
