The hotel’s location is excellent. It’s a 5-minute walk to the entrance of the Bastei Bridge, and there’s a pedestrian street right behind the hotel. It’s also close to several hiking trail entrances. The hotel itself is quite nice. The bed is very comfortable, and while the room isn’t large, it is well-arranged, making it an ideal place for a short stay. Sauna is simple but enough.

Do not book the partial Elbe view & balcony room because the partial view is not as big as it appears in the pictures; it’s just a narrow gap and the view is obstructed by a column. Therefore, I recommend booking either the river view or the city view rooms Swimming pool is small

Breakfast buffet with a great choice of food and drinks. Everything was fresh, with a lot of vegetables. The breakfast and restaurant room with a nice tables and comfortable chairs. Amazing food served by the chef in the evening, with different choices every day. Rooms are spacy, we got a nice one on the fourth floor with a side view of the river. Spa and pretty big swimming pool however at certain times it was pretty busy. Hotel is located on the bank of Elbe river, accessible by the ferry. Best for trails in Saxon Switzerland National Park and only 30 minutes walk to famous Bastei and Basteibrücke Bridge.

The decor of the entire hotel was well thought out which made it a very relaxing ambience. The buffet meals provided a good selection of choices and the AI Cat waiter was fun to watch at breakfast. The location is idyllic for those who like to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

Only a suggestion, Rathen area will likely attract more English speaking guests, therefore it might be useful if the Hotel Information envelope has English translation.

It is a very nice hotel with great staff. The location is right at the river bank, close to the walking trails. The food is very good with a variety of meat dishes, side dishes and salads. Home-made bread and jams for breakfast are amazingly delicious! We would definitely stay there again

Great room, especially the bathroom. Like the pool too. Terrace with a view over the Elbe is of course a big plus. Staff were great, although there are a few (guys) that really need to take a bit more initiative spontaneously.

The terrace of the room is unusable due to swallows that have nested there. I know they're a protected species but then just don't sell your rooms 'with a terrace'. I expected more from the food: the desert is sorbet, every day. At breakfast I missed some pastries.

I had wrongly booked for 4 people instead of 5, and I was able to fix the situation with a reasonable price thanks to the very helpful manager. Loved the hotel, their food and their spa !

They didn't have air conditioning and it was too hot.

The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the ferry. You need to park your car in the public carpark on the opposite bank and take the ferry across to the hotel - the ferry goes every few minutes so you rarely have to wait very long. the hotel give you a ticket for the ferry so you don't have to pay each time you cross. Very nice rooms, we had a side view of the river and the ferry. They serve an extensive breakfast and you can choose to eat inside or out on the lovely terrace overlooking the river. We found all the to be extremely friendly and helpful. After long days of walking we ate in the hotel restaurant both nights and the food was delicious. Do not be put of by the relatively short menu, they do things really well (hence the reason we went back the second night). A genuinely lovely hotel!

location, breakfast buffet was nice, too

our room didn't have a view, but I knew that when booking. Get a balcony, even if you are only there for an hour :-)

The location, breakfast, the view from the room - everything was just perfect. The pure balm for our hearts.

The sauna was a little bit cold. And the bathrobes along with the bath shoes were made of very tactile unpleasant material, synthetic, and full of static electricity.

Very comfortable room and access to a lovely swimming and leisure centre

We didn't find anything to dislike lovely hotel in a great location
