It's better to pay close attention to what you have in your reservation confirmation, as high season prices are also calculated in the low season. Kindness is used sparingly. Breakfast standard. Selection is very manageable, daily change between salmon and mozzarella as a highlight. Dinner was good so far, but expensive. Venison steak was well done. Little and t.w. Poorly informed staff, therefore long waits both for refills in the morning and for service in the evening. Sauna area is nice, but small and therefore hopelessly overcrowded. Bathrobes only for a fee. Defined for non-accommodating behavior at reception. Take another hotel next time.

It is a very nice hotel, ideally located for tackling a variety of hiking routes. The ferry also stops right in front of the hotel, which is also ideal.The hotel has a very nice play area for childrenAnd the staff is super friendlyFrom the room you can have a nice view of the Elbe and sometimes you can even see a train or a boat go byUnfortunately I didn't take any pictures to share my impressions with you. I hope my detailed report is enough for you

View of the Elbe (with ferry service) and tracks (for regional, freight trains, etc.). Direct connection to bus, ferry. With a view of the Elbe you can't open the window at night because of the noise from the trains, even though you really need to. Breakfast good and sufficient, but unfortunately the same every day. Some variety would be nice.

Nice hotel, very clean - thanks to the room service. Very nice location, right on the Elbe.Only the continuous mattresses were a bit tiring because you had to jump along when your partner turned around in bed.But we would love to come back!!

We stayed at the Elbhotel for a short vacation in October. We booked a room with a view of the Elbe and were not disappointed. Simply wonderful. The girls from housekeeping really do everything they can to make sure you feel comfortable all around. The bedtime stories for the children are also a nice idea. Breakfast sufficient and tasty. Keep it up. We'll be back. LG Family Rothe

Time out in the beautiful Elbe Sandstone Mountains. My husband and I stayed at the Elbhotel for 3 days. Great central location for going on hikes or relaxing on the Elbe. Parking for €5 per day behind the hotel. Service very friendly and helpful. Dinner was worth 5 stars, we have rarely eaten so fantastically. Breakfast was rich and left nothing to be desired. The only point of criticism is the rooms, which are rather spartan. Clear recommendation and we will happily come back 👌🏼

Beautiful hotel directly on the Elbe and near Pfaffenstein in beautiful Saxon Switzerland. Service is great, dinner was very tasty and the breakfast left nothing to be desired.
