Austria
My husband and stayed at the Gablerbrau in December 06 and we were delighted with the hotel. Rooms are simple but very comfortable, clean and relaxing after a tough day on the cobbles. We usually prefer to dine away from our hotel when on holidays but the Gablerbrau's restaurant is great - very popular with locals also. The bar is a great spot to watch people come and go.
The location is excellent also, situated over the bridge from the old town. The bathroom was spacious and very modern with a great big sink and a pull-out face mirror.
Overall great value (there was no mini-bar in the room but who would use a mini-bar with such great beer on tap downstairs? there is also a beer vending machine on each floor) and heartily recommended.

Situated in a real monastery just a kilometer or so short of the city centre on Augustinergasse 4, is Augustinerbräu Kloster Mülln, the last Austrian monastery still brewing beer.
This place is an obligatory stop for the beer lover. The spatial, Baroque beer hall furnished in a traditional manner with sturdy wooden tables, and a large garden shaded by decade old trees makes this brewery a convenient stop in all seasons.
In addition to the two delicious draught beers that they serve here, Augustiner Märzen und Augustiner Bock, guests have the opportunity to eat from the grill or visit the beer gallery.
