Elbhotel Bad Schandau

Perfect stay for a couple nights! Clean and everything worked.

Lovely, friendly staff. Nice clean rooms with beautiful views. A perfect stay.

The Elbhotel lies just next to the Elbe and the ferry on the "tourist" side of Bad Schandau. It's a neat and tidy hotel. Our room was spatious. The staff was friendly. There's a restaurant, which is easy to book if you arrive a bit later. We also had a nice breakfast there. All in all a good stay.

well were to start, it's a very nice hotel, nice welcome at the reception, good bed and always clean. Breakfast was top, evening meal very good, the service is also very good, real top for me this hotel

The fact that I stayed in this hotel was in fact an accident: I had intended to stay in the neighboring Elbresidenz, and the heavy prices seemed quite right. I ended up in this mediocre hotel. It is an ok place. But expect no flying colors. Generally, I like when things work and when smart people have made up a good concept. This is not such a hotel. It looks as if being refurbished in the 80ies (but knowing the history I know this cannot be right). Things are complicated: The checkin, the checkout. I could hardly enter when I arrived after 10 pm and could hardly leave before 6am. When I asked when the boats would go I got limited information. Taxis have been impossible to bet. The hotel is surely not optimized for business travel. It may work for people leisurely spending a couple of quiet days there.

We were very pleased in general with the Elbhotel. We stayed there during a week-long Malerweg hiking trip – on our first night and on our last three nights in the area, i.e. four nights in total. The room we had on our first night did not overlook the river. The room was fine, but we would have like the Elb view. So we asked for this for our second stay a few days later – which they promised us. The first room (room 101 – no river view) was quite OK, quite spacious, window on to a terrace. The bathroom was also fine. But our second room (room 314) a few days later was far better – this had a gorgeous view on the river and a French balcony so we could open it up wide and really enjoy the view. This room was bigger and better than the first one, and the bathroom was a lot bigger too – really big in fact. Having this room for our three nights in a row made our stay really pleasant. The Elbhotel has a very practical location in Bad Schandau, right on the ferry and next to a backery and supermarket (just across the road from the small hotel car park). The public parking (Elbkai) is right in front of the hotel. The staff was really friendly, both in the reception and in the restaurant. We had dinner there on the first night – nothing spectacular but OK. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Elbhotel, but particularly so with the river view room.

Good breakfast and wifi. Very helpful stuff
