Set in Rathen and with Königstein Fortress reachable within 10 km, Hinterland Hostel offers a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is around 17 km from Saxon Switzerland National Park, 25 km from Pillnitz Castle and Park and 33 km from Panometer Dresden. Private parking is available on site.

Beautiful, independently run place in an amazing location. The facilities left nothing to be desired, exactly what you want from a hostel - good wifi, good kitchen facilities, clean beds and bathrooms, friendly staff - all in top shape. The dog is an added bonus!! And they get you a pass for the local ferry for the duration of your stay.

Offering a barbecue and terrace, Herberge Burg Hohnstein is set in Hohnstein in the Saxony Region, 27 km from Dresden. There is a restaurant and guests can have fun at the games room.

The rooms come with a shared bathroom.

It was in a old style castle and was as German as it gets in terms of location and food. Great hikes all around and a great vibe. Would stay again easily.

At the hostel, all rooms are equipped with a desk. At Aktiv-Hotel Stock & Stein every room is equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen.

You can play table tennis and darts at this 3-star hostel, and the area is popular for hiking and cycling.

Perfect location to travel around Saxony, pefect view (the room was with a view to Elba river & mountains), excellent food (dinners were very delicious, special thanks to the Cook & kitchen Team!), amazing local wine & beer in the bar! Absolutely new / renovated & clean shower. All was perfect to stay for 4 nights and travel around. Stuff!!! the ladies were very kind & extremely helpful! Special thanks to the local government - for offering a Tourist ticket: once you check in in a hotel, you get a ticket wchich is valid for all types of local transport . And that was so helpful: ferries (boats on Elba) were fantastic, + travelling by amazing train (double-decker!) to Dresden was a super trip - pure enjoyment to see the views to the mountains and Elba. We will return here again for sure!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel was spotless clean! I stayed at the 10 bed dorm which was on the attic floor. It was very hot outside but there was a stand fan in the room which helped a lot. The bed was soft and comfy with charging points behind the bed. The location is great. It is 15 mins by foot to the station from where there are regular trains to Dresden. Also 15 mins to the ferry which takes you across the river. You get a guest card where the cost of the ferry is included. The shared bathroom was also very clean. Overall an amazing stay!

    Super placement and additional gratitude for the Free tickets for Fairy to the Castle for all the time we stayed in this Hostel and in the WC there were even free additional staff as shower gels and feminine hygiene products. It is 200% satisfaction from the time we lived there. Super friendly guys and super clean space.

    A nice apartment in a detached house with a lovely garden, great location on the river and on the cycle route near the station and ferry point. Friendly helpful host, comfortable bed and easy chair. Plenty of crockery and a coffee-maker and stove top (which I didn't use). Very reasonable price for the area.
