Aktiv-Hotel Stock & Stein 3 stars

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!
