A Place To Stay in Melk
As part of our itinerary next April, we are planning a day cruise on the Danube from Vienna to Melk. Am I better off spending the night in Melk (and if so, suggestions for the overnight accomodations)or just going on to Salzburg...via train...after our afternoon in Melk?

We stayed overnight in Melk, and took the morning boat down river (just the pretty part) and then the train from there to Vienna. It was a nice (but quiet) night there.
We stayed at Rick's recommended Gasthof Goldener Stern listed in the Vienna book.
Check boat schedules to see if taking the boat there, overnight and then the train works out for you, or just going on to Salzburg.
You'll want to take time to see the Abbey, though, that is a must.
In the summer of 2007, we stayed in Melk at the "Hotel Restaurant zur Post" - www.hotelpost-melk.at This was one of our favorite little hotels. We used their bikes and rode along the Danube. It was wonderful.
