Burgenland Hotels

Though we found no extraordinary hotels in Rust, here are three worthy of your patronage.

Seehotel Rust
The sprawling, turreted, red tile-roofed Seehotel, located directly on the lake just a short walk from the village center, is Rusts leading hotel. Guestrooms are standard commercial grade with necessary amenities. Many have lake views.

As a four-star, it offers a long list of services and such facilities as indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, indoor and outdoor tennis, bicycle and boat rentals, and free parking.

In addition to the rates below, the hotel offers a number of attractive packages. A two-night weekend deal including breakfast and dinner is 2960 AS ($195) for two persons. Guests over 60 who stay seven or more nights pay 820 AS ($54) per person, including breakfast and dinner.
  • Daily Rates: All rates include breakfast and dinner. Singles 1120 to 1190 AS ($74-$78), doubles 1840 to 2500 AS ($121-$164). For bed and breakfast only, deduct 80 AS ($5.25) per person from the half board rates.
  • Contact: Seehotel Rust, Am Seekanal 2-4, A-7071 Rust Burgenland, tel. +43 2685 381, fax 381 419, email: seehotel.rust@austria-trend.at. Proprietor: Wolfgang Hanreich

Gasthof Rusterhof
The town's best restaurant offers four modern, spacious apartments for rent. These light and airy accommodations have hardwood floors, white walls and ceilings, light wood furnishings plus the charm and coziness of sloping ceilings and dormer windows.

The Rusterhof is located in Rust's oldest building (1535), on the main square next to the Fisherman's Church.
  • Daily Rates: Singles 900 to 1350 AS ($59-$89), doubles 1200 to 1800 AS ($79-$118). No credit cards.

Hotel Am Rathausplatz
Across the wide open town square from the Rusterhof, the unpretentious Hotel Rathhausplatz offers surprisingly comfortable rooms at very attractive rates.
All guestrooms underwent complete refurbishment a few years ago and are equipped with direct dial phone, cable TV, and minibar. Excellent value.
Daily Rates: Singles 500 to 600 AS ($33-$39), doubles 940 to 1100 AS ($62-$72)
Contact: Hotel Am Rathausplatz, Rathausplatz 7, A-7071 Rust, Burgenland, Tel. +43/02685/6202, fax 6772, email: am_rathausplatz@rms.at. Proprietor: Freya Hbner
Rating: Quality 12/20, Value 19/20

An Apartment Rental
Rust and Burgenland abound with reasonably priced vacation rental facilities. One such is operated by Annemarie Poglitsch, a two-bedroom apartment, with pleasant inner courtyard near the lake and village center.

The per day price for this apartment ranges from 550 to 700 AS ($36-$46), the basis for an inexpensive family vacation. Contact: Annemarie Poglitsch, Dr. Alfred Ratz-Gasse 8, 7071 Rust Burgenland, tel. +43/02685/6845
