Really nice hotel in Krippen. We arrived late night but they left the key for us outside the hotel. Nice, clean room and complete breakfast. Would totally recommend for a weekend gate-away!

We were placed on 3rd floor under the roof although there were plenty of rooms free. There is no escalator. The curtain in the room did not function. The wall at one side was oblique so that you had do bow down when leaving the bed. Not satisfying. Breakfast was fine.

The shower was broken as was the blind over the skylight which was over the bed....... great for star gazing but not for sleeping. We notified staff about these problems and were told nothing could be done until later in the week by which time we had left. Other guests had similar problems.......not good enough for this level of property.

Excellent choice of hotel!

The location is wonderful, on the west bank of the Elbe river opposite Bad Schandau. The building dates back to 1715 but the interior is thoroughly modern. Our room was on the second floor but there is no lift. There is main line railway close by but the double glazing is very effective and it did not disturb us at all at night. During the daytime you get used to them and the variety of services is quite interesting in its own right. There was plenty of choice at breakfast served in a large airy dining room. Across from the hotel is the vault which serves food in the evening. This is a fixed price buffet. When this is closed there is another pub about 100 metres away. You are given a guest card which enables you to use the ferry across to Bad Schandau without additional payment. here is a railway station about 10 minute's walk away with regular services to Dresden. The hotel has its own parking facility. This is a very quiet area popular with walkers and particularly cyclists, who can ride many miles along the river bank.

Only spend there a couple of hours as I had to take an early train. Had breakfast and asked the reception if they could bring my luggage to a station 3 km further as I had my bike with me and not much time. They got their car and brought my luggage to the station :-) Certainly will come back during spring as the Sachsische Schweiz is a very beautiful area!

Nice place to stay, just a walk from the Elbe river. 10-12 minutes by car from Saxon-Switzerland national park.

No wi-fi in rooms as advertised. The hotel is a ferry ride away (across the river) from the nearest village/town. Staff very friendly.
