high quality breakfast with very various choice of food, beautifully arranged and decorated. Every table had its own coffee jug. And although the rooms in third floor have low ceilings it was nice and comfy.

The staff at the reception gave us a very warm welcome and nice first impression. The room is quite big even for us two adults with one kid. The washroom is very clean and comfortable with underfloor heating. The location is also wonderful which is very close to the ferry. I personally strongly recommend the self hand made local introduction books in the sauna area. I should have noted the author’s name (Dr.) . He must love the place very much. If I go back there again, I wish to finish reading.
Bio-Hotel Helvetia is located in the small village of Schmilka. It lies directly on the Elbe cycling trail and the Malerweg long-distance hiking trail.

This Hotel is situated in a restored historical Water mill and has only 9 rooms. The mill still works and bread from it is served at breakfast and dinner. You have to walk to the restaurant for breakfast and dinner around 10 minutes from the Mill, but that doesn't really bother, because the views of Elbe river along the way are stunning.
Our room was not big, but had a balcony and with open windows you could hear the Stream running right underneath your building. That was very cute and calming. There's also no elevator, if that might be important to you.
The system of Bio-hotels consist of several hotels, so the reception is in a separate building and so is some part of SPA. Sauna and open air jacuzzi along with water vats to relax in are in the Mills' yard, which is very convenient. Local brewery is also next door. Dinner consists of 4 courses every day, made in their 'bio'- concept.
The cost of staying was rather high, but the hotel had a few really nice surprise bonuses, like local transport tickets and free Gluwein cards. There are also 'rituals' including bakery excursion and spa time that are free of charge for guests. Those can be found during check-in.
I liked the 'bio' concept of the hotels and Schmilka village itself - it's a very cosy place on the bank of the river with nice trekking opportunities. You could also go the the Czech side of the Saxon Switzerland by bus, train (if the ferries are working) or by foot (around 45 min walk to closest Czech village).
We were staying there around Christmas time, but the weather was not snowy, so I can't say anything about Winter Wonderland. Like in many places in Germany that time, Elbe was out of its' banks, so most of the ferries didn't work.
Our beautiful holiday home is close to the center and only a few minutes' walk from the Saxon Switzerland National Park. Modernly furnished with Italian flair.
Great location, comfortable room and great breakfast.

Alles was vorher bewertet war.
Alles was vorher bewertet war. The room was great, the people were very friendly and so helpful, and the sauna/pool/spa area was super. The only disappointment was that we set up a birthday dinner table (which happened) and a birthday breakfast table (which did not happen because people took our table and moved our number).

Lovely quiet town on the Elbe river.
Lovely quiet town on the Elbe river. Well connected with roads, publish transport including river ferries. Plenty to do and excellent excursions fronm the town, eg hiking, mountain biking. Good indoor pool incl. wellness / spa centre. You need to book restaurants for dinner in the high season. And by 9pm its quite quiet, so not a lot of night life!

Bad Schandau area has a lot to offer and unfortunately we only spent one night here. I would have liked to stay another2-3 nights to do some hiking and bike riding in the area. I had a very good Thai Massage very close to the hotel. Town is pretty quiet at night with not a big selection for restaurants.

Town is charming with a large green area along the stream.
Town is charming with a large green area along the stream. Access to hiking in the National Park is very good and many trails leave from the various bus stops. Several good restaurants and bakeries are available and a good grocery store. In all, it is a good place for walkers!

Small town Germany!
Small town Germany! I loved the views of the river; we took a bike ride on nice easy paths down to the Czech border and back the other side. Trains made this very accessible from Dresden. There were great hikes, too from town and in the next town closer to Dresden.

Bad Schandau itself is a great place to visit if you like hiking and being in nature. The views are spectacular and there are hikes to suit every level of fitness. There's also a big spa to soak your weary muscles (COVID restrictions allowing).
It's not amazing for dining or culture, but it does have a few decent restaurants and a couple of good supermarkets if you have cooking facilities.
I was upgraded to Saxonia Apartmenthaus. This was a great location. It was right beside a little stream and at night you could hear it running by the flat. Every room has its own balcony and the air is clean and fresh. The central area of Bad Schandau is within a 10-minute walk through a very pleasant park, and there are many good hikes that start only 5 minutes from the Saxonia. The place itself was clean and spacious and had everything I needed. The concierge was very pleasant and easy going. My dog also loved it!
So many things! The standouts included the helpful staff -- really a bonus to have them make recommendations and to give us advice. We were so impressed with the breakfast! It was a delicious and wonderful spread. The room was spacious and comfortable with a wonderful view into town. I feel so fortunate to have chosen this hotel! Thanks for everything!
Very bright and quiet, we got a big terrace although it wasn’t initially part of the booking. Delicious breakfast buffet with large variety! The ferry stop is right out front and the hotel gives their guests a ticket to use all public transport, including the ferry and the Kirnitzschtalbahn for free during the period of our stay.
I'm completely satisfied with the hotel. Pros:
+ friendly and helpful stuff, warm family atmosphere;
+ great location, you've got everything you might need just in walking distance;
+ quiet, clean and cozy room with comfy bed;
+ the place has a restaurant serving a variety of Czech and German cuisine, strongly recommended )
We traveled by bikes to Bad Schandau so we could store them in a bike storage (they have 2 storages for bikes and e-bikes). the staff at hotel was very kind, smiling and helpful, we also received free pass for travelling by bus & train in the surroundings.
The breakfast was fabulous and beds were comfortable.
Breakfast (albeit expensive) was totally excellent. I wasn't hungry until the afternoon.
Location is very good for walking among the rocks. For visiting Bad Schandau, I recommend using the elevator.
The room was nice, clean, we had all the comfort we needed. For the price it was great.
Pleasant, good sized room with a balcony. Nice breakfast. Good sauna and steam room included, plus outdoor pool, which was pretty cold but it was Septemeber! Pleasant grounds and communal areas. Good location a short walk from the centre of Bad Schandau, right next to the historic lift.
It was easy to get the key and the apartment was ready when we arrived. Everything was clean and very spacious. Good location, directly by the river. It was easy to walk to Bad Schandau and get to nearby hiking locations. The floor heating in the bathroom was great.
It's very fine place. Little village of Germany. Near the beauty places - Bastie, Kionigstein, Stolpen, Bad Schandau. You can see the mountains from window 😉😍 the food so good, the host of hotel was great. We will return, when decide to visit Germany again.
Very honest hotel, perfect for those who are visiting Bastei Bridge and need a cheaper stay. The rooms are large, great breakfast, and very friendly staff. Expect a simple and traditional East German place with large plates of food.
The staff were friendly, the hotel is in a beautiful village on the Elbe, Tesla charge point worked perfectly (there's also a public charger in the local parking lot). The bar and restaurant were great and breakfast was very good.
There was a lot of space in the room. The hotel had a good parking facility. Also the staff was very friendly. The pool looked nice as well but we didnt use it because it was full most of the times.
Simple room near garage for bike, for night on journey perfect. Very clean, nice garden and siting there, possible drinks, breakfast, calm, nice eiew, 3 km Bad Schandau centrum. Thank you!
The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly and kind towards the kids as well. The food was delicious and fresh. The location and immediate vicinity of the hotel is magnificent!
