We spent 4 nights at the Waldhäus'l and had a great stay there. The Suba family is very hospitable and makes the tastiest and very extensive breakfast. Every morning you can choose what kind of egg you want. Our favorite was the scrambled eggs with everything in it. The rooms are excellent, spacious and clean. Dinner is also highly recommended. We ate there twice and had a delicious 3 course dinner both times.The area around the hotel is phenomenal. It is beautiful around the hotel in the Saxon Switzerland National Park and within 10-15 minutes you are among the grandiose sandstone cliffs. You can enjoy cycling and walking here.We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely come back.

Quietly located, very pleasant hotel. You can see the small details (flowers, fruit...) and the dedication of the family that runs this hotel and continues to expand it and has already renovated a lot of things. Bad Schandau can be reached very quickly by car in 5 minutes. Buses and nostalgic trams also leave directly from Waldhäus'l. Bicycles can also be rented. WiFi is available. Very idyllic location right on the river. Very nice hosts who always had tips and were very friendly.

A very well-maintained hotel in a quiet location.Hiking trails and the city are easily accessible on foot, otherwise as a hotel guest you also get a guest card for buses and trains and travel at a reduced price and free of charge. Or you can rent a bike here.Dinner tasted wonderful and there was also a lot to choose from for breakfast.All in all a top hotel and would love to come back again.

The Hotel Waldhäus'l is highly recommended and is run by the Suba family with heart and friendliness.At the beginning of May 2024, the two of us spent three wonderful nights in this wonderful house. The rooms were clean. The beds comfortable. The breakfast varied. DifferentVariations of breakfast eggs were freshly and deliciously prepared.TIP: Please be sure to try dinner at Waldhäus'l too. So delicious!The location of the house is idyllic. There are enough parking spaces available. Thanks to the guest card, we were able to use numerous means of transport free of charge and easily explore Saxon Switzerland and its beautiful hiking trails without a car. The historic Kirnitzschtalbahn runs and stops directly at the hotel - but don't worry, the night's sleep remains undisturbed, only the babbling of the stream could be heard at night.Service, food and facilities were to our complete satisfaction. From the very good hairdryer to the “parking space” for dirty hiking boots, the Waldhäus’l impressed us. We felt very comfortable and would come back at any time.
