I stayed here with a friend for four nights and we were completely satisfied. We had a double room on the mezzanine floor with a balcony facing the Elbe. The room was equipped with a double bed, bedside tables, a table and two chairs. A small refrigerator was also available. The bathroom/toilet had a shower, toilet and hand basin.Everything was clean and tidy.The breakfast buffet was sufficient and replenished if necessary.The boss was always present and really tried to ensure that his guests were satisfied. He was helpful and gave advice for excursions and so we had nice and informative conversations about the area.The sights of Bad Schandau, such as the historic elevator, the Kirnitzschtalbahn station or the thermal baths, are within walking distance. The bus stops, ferry or hiking boat are also just a few minutes' walk away. If you want to stock up on provisions, Lidl isn't far on foot.Free parking spaces are available at the hotel.I would stay here again at any time!

Very nice spacious apartment equipped with everything you need. Clean, well-kept and cozy. A beautiful garden with a view of the Elbe and a covered swimming pool. Central location. Our apartment had its own kitchen, but there is also the option to have breakfast downstairs in the breakfast room. The owner very nice and helpful. We felt very comfortable and would definitely recommend it.

Right at the beginning, the most important thing.If you come from Dresden, the hotel is on the right and the parking spaces are easy to reach.Friendly welcome and some information about your stay.Rooms functionally furnished, clean and functional.Breakfast in the guest room was very comfortable and the offerings were completely sufficient.Coffee, tea and juice are all there and the boss can make almost anything possible if you wish.Regarding the location, it couldn't be better.It's a 5-minute walk to the Elbkai. From there you have many options to explore the area using public transport (bus station) and the ferry.I was able to easily pay the bill with a card upon departure. So again at any time.

We spent a week's vacation in the hotel and can only report positive things. The room was spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. The pool was perfect for a relaxing swim after a hike. The breakfast left nothing to be desired. Thank you again for the lovely stay, we will definitely come back.

Nice hotel with clean rooms, good beds and a great breakfast. The rooms have a balcony and a view of the Elbe. Tiled bathroom with large shower cubicle. Ideally located for hikes, and the owner knows his way around, whether on the right or left side of the Elbe. Large garden with deck chairs. Of course, the swimming pool was not yet filled at the beginning of April. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.
