We stayed here with my husband to celebrate his birthday. The photos online look much better than the hotel in reality. The hotel is clean, and the retro-style interior is quite charming. The absolute highlight was the pianist playing on Friday evening – we really enjoyed his performance! The “aqua center” is simply one pool in the basement plus a Finnish sauna and a steam room – and that’s it. Breakfast was buffet-style with a good selection, but overall the photos are much nicer than the reality.

“A bargain stay in a beautiful location.”

Great half board deal plus use of pool and sauna. Breakfast and dinner buffet included. Robes and pool towels provided. Amazing location with view of the Elbe and easy access to bastei rocks and walking routes.

We had a spacious appartment, and could relax in swimming pool and wellness. Nice trip with the ferry to reach the hotel, and perfect starting point for a hike, walk or run along the river or into the hills (to Basteibrücke).
