Hotel Lindenhof

Leaving the train from Dresden at the Königstein railway station, go up the hill and then turn left to cover appr. 400 meters to the Lindenhof hotel along a very busy road. The check-in was quick. We were quite lucky to move in earlier than formidably scheduled check-in time of 15.00! The carpets make it all quiet in the corridors. There is no human lift. Only a small luggage lift. The hotel interior is nice, and you get quite quickly accustomed to the scent of the aged furniture. The room is comparatively large with lots of 220 v wall sockets, TV and... spiders. Huge spiders sit in their cobwebs on the windows-sills outside, but eventually crawl into the room - we had to remove 6 spiders before going to bed, knowing full well, that other occupants were out of reach too high on the ceiling. The hotel faces the Elbe River only at an angle, as the river is hidden by the road and the trees. Still you can see a high hill right across the river. The windows comfortably protect the noise from a very busy road to neighbouring villages. The pillows are large, soft and flat. Even the sofa small pillows as supporters could not help to have a sound sleep - very inconvenient! The breakfast room is excellent, with a tasty decoration and a good choice. The food is tasty but the assortment is rather limited to make you go stale within a few days. The dinner is served outside on the terrace. The sight is OK. So is the food quality, yet the prices are a bit too high to reach the top of satisfaction. 70-80 euro for a dinner for 3 person with some wine. Due to the day heat, we did not risk to climb the Königstein fortress. We were unlucky with the Bastei Bridge either, due to the local forest fires and blocking the roads to the local wonder. The staff is friendly, the stay is OK. Wishing you all the best.

Die Lage ist unbezahlbar. Die Zimmer sind genau richtig für Wanderer.
