Amazing location. Great stuff. View from a balcony is to die for. Saunas and swimming pool are great after a long day of hiking. Surprisingly, for breakfast and dinner - a lot of vegan options.

Pillows weren't the best

The location is absolutely marvelous. It's right in front of the river and the ferry stop. You can start your hikes to the bastion right from the hotel 0 either the longer or shorter hikes. The terrace is facing the river is a great place to spend some idle time. You get unlimited trips in the ferry with the "Guest Card". On the opposite side of the river, there is a parking place where you can leave your car for free (the hotel will give you a free parking ticket). The parking place has an electric charging station in case you drive electric. I left it charging overnight without any additional surcharges.

Having to book the exact time for dinner and breakfast caused unnecessary pressure, particularly because there was plenty of flexibility during our stay. On the day of our arrival, we got there relatively late and wanted to hike to the Bastion to watch the sunset. We barely made it back on time for our dinner slot and were quite exhausted. It was not necessary to run as the room was only half full.

Large and comfortable room with an exquisite view. Completely digitalized hotel with self check-in, except for restaurant staff, no humans visible, but everything worked without a glitsch.

Dinner included on half- board I could have done without; a mediocre buffet. Also breakfast no more than OK. Real check-in was one hour later than stated in the Booking confirmation.

Kurort Rathen and this hotel is a very nice place to relax and unwind. Cars can't drive into the village so it's very quiet around and you can enjoy the view from the balcony and listen to the sound of the Elbe water. The hotel has a very good wellness center with a small pool and various types of saunas. And it is a paradise for those who love hiking.

We came to relax and enjoy the Saxon Swiss National Park and our stay in the hotel made this possible. The staff put themselves out for us, the food was interesting, permitting us to wander around the National Park at our leisure.

Nothing

Room was clean and spacious. The location is great, just a short hike to the Bastei Bridge.

Everything was completely automated and we could not find anyone to ask a question. Could only access the online digital assistant. It worked out ok but felt very impersonal.

Beautiful location by the river, cleanliness, comfortable bed, spacious room, great breakfast and dinner, wonderful staff. Thank you :-)

The water in the pool is very cold, the water in the small pool is colder, the whirlpool does not work.

This hotel is just amazing in every way. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We were made to feel very welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stays here. Highly recommended

The warmth of the staff; the hospitality of complimentary refreshments upon arrival and departure, and the extraordinary consistency in the generosity of the service and employees… the breakfast and dinner were also exceptionally arranged and delicious. A magical place … ~

We received a room worse than we ordered, but didn't notice until we got back home. They don't clean the rooms daily, I guess you have to ask for it.
