There is so much that I might run out of space. The owner has an incredible eye for detail. Everything exudes harmony and is tailored to the guests needs. The food is amazing. We ate at the restaurant twice. Incredible! The rooms are decorated country style. Lot s of natural wood around. The bathroom is just the right size and well thought through. Complimentary water is served in as still, medium, or fully carbonated. I totally recommend this place. Owners and staff are very friendly. We’ll be back :)

Everything from staff to the size of the room, location, wide selection of breakfast choices and local specialities, etc was perfect. Didn't expect that everything will be at such a high quality. Loved the view from the room and the little balcony, stunning location and the building itself full of history and charm. Although pool was a bit cold for the time of the year, the facilities were great and my partner still managed to enjoy a refreshing swim in the morning. Cosy spa too. Had a dinner booked at the restaurant one night and the service and meal was perfect. Thank you for such a wonderful place in Bad Schandau - I wish to be a guest in the future.

Beautiful location, nice vintage rooms (vintage, but well renewed), all the spaces nicely decorated - very cozy and welcoming; very tasty food (both breakfast and restaurant meals). But what made our stay absolutely unforgettable is the staff - everyone were so friendly and made us feel very welcome! We had a bit of a problem - our return train ticket was early in the morning, und unfortunately the first bus from the hotel to Bad Schandau was scheduled later, so we tried to book a taxi, but there were no available taxies anymore. We thought that we will unfortunately have to walk to Bad Schandau on foot (which would take us 1.5 h), but the owner of the hotel volunteered to drive us himself!! So we had a breakfast and then he drove is to the Bad Schandau train station and we safely came back home. Thank you very much for all the support and attention, the stay and the whole experience was exceptional.

It is a wonderful hotel in an exceptional location. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the staff was nice and friendly. The sauna, for EUR20, was okay; it looked new and clean. If you're traveling by car, make sure you drive past the public parking to the hotel parking (it is 100m more towards the hotel). Then, it will be EUR7 instead of EUR12 to park the car.

We were in the area to do some hiking and exploring and the hotel is positioned very well for this. We had an awesome time at the pension. The breakfast is a great variety (I'm gluten intolerant and managed to find options) to eat. I really enjoyed my 3 quarter sized bed (some places give you a single bed).

The access to walks and other things to do was excellent.

The access to walks and other things to do was excellent. You can get around on foot, bike, bus, ferry or train. Maps are helpfully provided. The tourist information staff are very knowledgeable and kind. The therme is large and wasn’t too busy when we went (end September). Swimming outside in the sun and rain was a highlight, as was floating in the salty water of the music experience pool. We ate in our hotel so can’t comment on the local restaurants, but there were several to choose from. We visited the National Park Centre which was interesting, but mostly aimed at children. There wasn’t very much in English, so best if you can read German or Czech. People were really kind. It’s the first place I’ve been to where you arrive by train and immediately catch a ferry to get to town!

It's an excellent hiking place, recommended for families with children, dogs - especially during the weekdays when you can enjoy the quiet beauty of nature. The Elba is beautiful, there are nice walking/ cycling routes all around, the top of the hill is half an hour walk, sunsets/sunrises are stunning.

A delightful village in Saxony with fascinating rock formations, an excellent tourist office, the Guest card gave free transport on busses, trains and ferries. The bus timetables were very difficult to decipher. The tourist office was very helpful with providing transport routes and walking route information. Unfortunately the grocery shop was closed in August for holidays, so the lebensmittel was in Bad Schandau. The ‘serpentine’ road became a raceway for youngsters on noisy motor bikes some afternoons.

Pirna is an ideal base if you want to explore Saxon Switzerland. The Old Town is compact but very lovely. It has very tranquil ambiance, which suits travelers seeking a peaceful getaway. For the people to love old architecture, Pirna is a gem as it is completely unspoiled with modern concrete monsters. There are many great restaurants and cafes within the Old Town, though most close quite early. From Pirna, it only takes within less than 1 hour to get to Bastei, Bad Schandau or other smaller towns.

Loved the quaint little town with access to such beautiful nature. The Bastei route gets really busy so the earlier you go, the better. The Bastei bridge is not the only beautiful route in the area though and its definitely worth it to explore the other routes more. Personally I loved the approach via the Swedish holes more. Also walk along the river past the route that goes up to Lillienstein, beautiful views with a scenic walk. Restaurants in the area can be pricey but the Imbiss is a good option. We did self catering and was able to buy a few basic supplies for soup from the town shop and a few goodies for breakfast. We stayed for 4 nights but would definitely recommend more to explore the area and in summer partake in more activities.

Great walking opportunities, rock climbing, floating down the river in a rubber boat. Train to Dresden was easy, and the river ferry to reach the station is included in the price. Too late in the season to try the exciting looking open air pool.
