Hotel Elbresidenz an der Therme

The breakfast buffet was superb. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The concierge was knowledgeable and helpful about walks, the therme and things to do and how to get there. The bar in the evening was great. Happy hour for aperitifs with a wide range. The hotel gave a free local pass for transport and free ‘coin’ token and towels for the spa. We had a lovely stay.

Searching for something…. The piped music in the common area downstairs seemed to lack feeling. Some great songs, but ouch, painful to hear!

Great breakfast, great facilities, cleaning and everything does help to get a proper rest and relaxation. I have been there for a second time and Im sure I will be back, its a great place to unwind and recharge your batteries.

hard to find anything but in terms of suggestions, I guess having a kettle with tea in a room would be a blessing, not to take runs to the bar

Location Fabulous! Loads of walks from the door Breakfast is lovely and prime outdoor tablesThe hotel was very clean and staff very pleasant.Indoor pool was pleasant

Lack of air conditioning in our bedroom, but fortunately I chose a north facing room so was not too bad

The hotel is wonderful, and a wonderful deal by the standard of comparable hotels, at least for North Americans. Its historic buildings have been sensitively redone, with airy modern public spaces. Individual rooms are capacious, high- ceilinged, with luxurious bath, powerful air conditioning, private balcony overlooking gardens and river. Immaculately serviced. Very nice on-site restaurant with lovely, tree-shaded river terrace and sweet staff. We took every dinner there for 4 nights (usually choosing the buffet option) which is a great option given Bad Schandau’s lack of dining venues, and were never disappointed. Likewise, given this picturesque but small spa town’s limited parking, the 18 Euro daily hotel garage parking option is actually pretty reasonable.

Really nothing. The Toskana thermals baths next door, to which hotel guests have complementary access, is pretty tired looking, but would be good for keeping kids cool and occupied on one of the sultry days this region can have. Also, if you’re going to do real walking/ hiking among the amazing sandstone formations of the national park behind the town, go to Tourist Info and get a real map— the one the hotels hand out is worthless.

The service was very good. Everyone was very attentive. The room was very clean, everything was in good condition. The breakfast offered a wide range of options and was delicious. The entrance to the thermal bath made it exceptional value for money.

The rooms are getting to a point where they could do with a refurbishment at some point in the near future.

Lovely location with very friendly and efficient staff ??Great facilities with a big swimming pool and fabulous spa area.Bar was a nice area and great cocktails served by knowledgeable staff ???The therme complex Toscana was a great addition too.

Beautiful project in a very pretty location on the Elbe River.Great breakfast in very comfortable dining room.The pool, spa and sauna were great for relaxing.

Staff in spa were not interested in giving information Dinner menu was basic unless you had the buffet

spa, breakfast, location.

Arrival not as it used to be before the renovation Stuff is just not really how I expect in a 5 star Hotel or how it was before renovation 2014 we arrived they welcomed us drove our car away, took our laggige to our room..This time, I would not even feel comfortable to ask them to take it to the car by leaving which would be normal for me to a 5 star Hotel. The welcome and reception adea needs an update just not in the flow. Yet, everyone is good intentions that we appreciated.

Beyond amazing hotel with wonderful service and spa access. Views over the river with balcony are stunning. Breakfast was one of the best spreads we’ve ever seen.

Great location, comfortable room, Therme included in the price, nice breakfast with many options

Late check out is 60 EUR per person. If for three hours guest are expected to pay more than a half of the night rate, that’s basically a prohibitive price to discourage guests from using such a service. Not a great impression :-(

Great location, excellent facilities, kind and helpful staff, complete services.

The staff were great and kind. The hotel is renovated mostly the lobby, bar and interior yet the rooms are a bit more old fashioned. The breakfast was very good! Overall we enjoyed it

Nice, friendly and very good organized

Smell of chimney

Perfect location - in the city center, ferry boat and bus station in front of the hotel, easy acces to rail station. Excelent breakfast with plenty of choice, very tasty. English breakfast, continental breakfast, fish, vegetable, salad, fruits, pancakes…Hotel is clean, staff is nice and helpful. Clean smaller wellness with a river view terase in the fourth floor is nice and guests have also free entrance to Toscana bath. With guest card from hotel you can use ferry, busses, local trains and tram in Bad Schandau free of charge. I can fully recomend this hotel and hope I can come back one day.

We missed coffee machine or a kettle in the room, would be very comfortable to have a morning coffee on balcony and watch the river. There is an international railway line behind the river, with closed windows we hadn’t any problem to sleep, completely quiet room, but I can’t imagine how to sleep here in summer without air condition, with open window it must be too noisy. But the other rooms with a city or cotyard view will be probably ok. I didn't like the very small (shot glass size) disposable plastic cups for wellness, too much useless waste every day. The same with disposable slippers for guests in the room. Why does anyone give them? After all, they are not at all suitable for wearing or for wellness, another unnecessary waste.

Fantastic staff -especially in the restaurant at breakfast and dinner who made me feel very welcome and cared for! Amazing breakfast and the pool area was super clean and relaxing! Brilliant to be have the travel card too.

The lounge areas weren't as welcoming/comfortable as they could be - would be nice to be able to get a sandwich/snack in the bar area, the evening buffet at 39 euros/head was a lot of money- the food was no doubt good as all the other food I had was good but it's a large outlay if you don't have a big appetite

Lovely, spacious and comfortable room with choice of pillows and plenty of storage space. Excellent breakfast in a lovely location with views over the River Elbe. Hotel was right in the heart of town with easy access to ferries, buses and shops as well as the national park. Staff were helpful with my various enquiries.

The room air conditioning didn’t really work properly and it was 34 when we were there so it was quite uncomfortable at night.The shower was over the bath which had a curved bottom and an extremely stiff shower screen so it wasn’t the easiest to get in and out or use without slipping.

Great location right in the town center. Close to ferry which goes to the train station. Beautiful old building on the outside, but totally modern and well maintained on the inside. Great spa area, including sauna and swimming pool. Friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. Highly recommended!

this hotel succeeded in causing pleasure and relaxation. An overall experience of pleasure - the swimming pool, the facilities, breakfast

I like everything except absence of conditioner in the room.

We didn’t have conditioner in the room and it was really difficult to sleep for family with small child. I wouldn’t recommend visiting during hot summer with high temperatures.

Beautiful location. Spacious room. We really enjoyed the wellness after a long drive.

We made use of the convenient buffet dinner, but found it quite expensive for our 4 year old who eats approximately 4 pieces of cheese and a cake.
