FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Ayurveda

For the overnight stay in Birstein we offer our guests a total of 80 beds in cosy accommodations in different room categories. You can find an overview here.

If you need accommodation in Vienna, Klosterneuburg, Zurich, Lucerne or Berlin, we will be happy to advise you individually.

For your arrival in Birstein we will be happy to welcome you personally until 6.30 pm. After that, all necessary information will be available for you at the reception.

For the seminars at other locations, we ask you to arrive on time for the official start. The information will be sent to you at the time of booking, in your timetable and also again in advance.

For departure we would like to ask you to vacate the room by 11.00 a.m. and return the key to the reception. Luggage can be left at the designated places.

At the reception you can then settle any outstanding payments for accommodation and telephone charges. Please pay any charges on the meal card directly at the café. Externally accommodated guests (except Hippegasse) pay for their overnight stay directly at the booked guesthouse.

We have deliberately chosen not to have televisions in the rooms. If you would still like to watch a nice movie, you can rent a DVD at the reception.

Our free WLAN "Rosenberg Birstein OpenNet" is available around the clock free of charge. You don't need a password to log in. The field strength is best in the winter garden. There is no WLAN connection in the guest rooms, but there is a LAN socket in each of the rooms in the Kurhaus.

Our own parking spaces are located directly opposite the main entrance and in front of the Pension "Schöne Aussicht" as well as above the garden in front of the Kurhaus. Directions and information about public transport can be found under Arrival & Contact.

In Birstein our students enjoy a vegetarian Ayurvedic diet with organic certification. We use mainly seasonal ingredients from regional cultivation.

The authentic Ayurveda cuisine is not vegan, but uses milk, ghee and honey in the daily diet and also as "carriers" of immune-strengthening and vitalizing spices and herbs.

If you would like to enjoy our organic Ayurveda cuisine in a vegan way, you can omit those dishes which have been prepared with ghee.

Please let us know in good time before your arrival if you have any food allergies. Our kitchen will try to take this into consideration.

A gluten-free diet can be easily implemented.
