The hotel is a very good starting point for exploring Saxon Switzerland. It is idyllically located below the Lilienstein directly on the Elbe on a narrow road that can be driven in both directions. Attention and consideration are required. There is enough parking space at the hotel. Traveling by train to Königstein is also a good alternative. Of course, it is also a good place to stay overnight for cyclists on the Elbe cycle path. The rooms are neat and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would describe the cuisine as home-style. It is recommended for active vacationers, families with children, travel groups, or educational vacationers.

We have been coming here for short vacations with the children for several years. Everything is geared towards families: lots of play options for young and old, child-friendly buffet with always lots of delicious homemade spreads and salads. Everything is clean and cozy and the staff are without exception very helpful and friendly. And the fantastic view of the Elbe and the climb to Lilienstein begins directly behind the hotel.

We were with you with our grandchildren. Thank you very much - everything worked fine. They had their own area through the connecting door, but were also integrated with us. The variety of game options is great. We'd love to come back.

Very nice hotel with a great location and a nice welcome. (When you arrive, make sure that the street is very narrow and not a one-way street).Very nice view on both sides, very quiet through the forest and the secluded but still good location.

Great facility for wheelchair users too. The room was really wheelchair accessible and the balcony with a view of the Elbe could be accessed independently.The staff was always very friendly and attentive.And we also quickly started talking to the other guests. All in all very pleasant.Vegetarians and vegans only have a hard time at the buffet.
