10 Top-Rated Bed and Breakfast Inns in Saxony

April 26, 2023 Natalie Tallman

Like catnip for culture lovers, Saxony beckons visitors to eastern Germany with museums, musical events and artisans. The state capital, Dresden, is home to the restored Frauenkirche church and the eye-popping Zwinger museum, both showcases of 18th-century Baroque architecture. Music reigns in Leipzig, where Bach and Mendelssohn's former residences are now museums. Visit Meissen for its wines and signature porcelain. Castles adorn the central Saxony landscape, inspiring hiking and cycling tours.

Excellent staff, nice, large spotless rooms, with a mexican theme. You do have to share the bathroom with one other room, but I never saw that as i real problem. Stayed there for three night, and will return next time I visit Dresden. For 7,5 Euro you can have a fine breakfast buffet, I did that one of the days.

Hidden provincial gem

Reviewed By ashevc

Located deeply in rural area and is little known. To the hotel complex belong several buildings which leave mixed impression. Guest accommodation, event rooms and restaurant are not under one roof. - The historical house, which walls are over 11 centuries old, is used for events. It is truly a hidden gem with 5* and absolutely worth visiting. It is lovingly renovated and has imposing interiors - fantastic Knight Hall, beautiful central wooden staircase, chimneys - and posses special romantic flavor, particularly in evening light. Well-kept garden with pond complement the ensemble. - Guest rooms are located in another contemporary building and contrast with Castle-style. This part is rather 3*: clean but small rooms with narrow bathroom, old fitting carpets (a problem for allergy suffers), worn-out furniture, no tee facilities. - The restaurant is pretty mediocre. Food without soul. The hotel also has wellness areas with sauna and a big sport hall. The place is well suitable for events,and seminars or for a short stay. Big disadvantage - extremely poor connection with public transportation, even taxi is a problem. It's also a pity that historical facts about the Castle are not well presented...

Very good experience, particularly with river view

Reviewed By Froggy2Denmark

We were very pleased in general with the Elbhotel. We stayed there during a week-long Malerweg hiking trip – on our first night and on our last three nights in the area, i.e. four nights in total. The room we had on our first night did not overlook the river. The room was fine, but we would have like the Elb view. So we asked for this for our second stay a few days later – which they promised us. The first room (room 101 – no river view) was quite OK, quite spacious, window on to a terrace. The bathroom was also fine. But our second room (room 314) a few days later was far better – this had a gorgeous view on the river and a French balcony so we could open it up wide and really enjoy the view. This room was bigger and better than the first one, and the bathroom was a lot bigger too – really big in fact. Having this room for our three nights in a row made our stay really pleasant. The Elbhotel has a very practical location in Bad Schandau, right on the ferry and next to a backery and supermarket (just across the road from the small hotel car park). The public parking (Elbkai) is right in front of the hotel. The staff was really friendly, both in the reception and in the restaurant. We had dinner there on the first night – nothing spectacular but OK. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Elbhotel, but particularly so with the river view room.

Cramped and hot attic like room is a “ Standard Double”? Should have complained and packed up the moment we walked in

Reviewed By maywill

The 3-night stay at this facility put a dent on our otherwise wonderful visit to Dresden. We chose this hotel based on great reviews and location (we were on a road trip and wanted to avoid a congested area), and confirmed their Standard Double room, the only type available at the time. We were surprised to learn that our room is a small and plain room with low ceiling and tiny windows that looked like and attic, quite different from the photos and descriptions from their listing. The room got so hot, we had to run air conditioning almost continuously, which is rather unusual in Germany. Furthermore they added 2% extra to the room charge because we did not pay in cash nor via EC Card.

Hexenhaus

Situated only 3, 5 km away from Dresden's old town but also at a rural neighbourhood, the "Hexenhaus" welcomes you with 10 individual rooms and a small restaurant at the historic village centre of Nieder-Gorbitz.Because of the poor conditions long time ago, and the remote location, the charm of the village has been remained until today.The "Hexenhaus" is listed as a historical monument and consists of two very rarely over 200 year old half-timbered day labourer houses which gives you the unique opportunity to experience the geneses of Dresden.Here you can find everything you need after an eventful day:Quiet, relaxation and good Saxon cuisine.Enjoy our hospitality-we are looking forward to your visit!

Very fine

Reviewed By Barry22260

This is a very atmospheric place to stay. We were lucky in that we were in the Hexenhaus itself, although they have a number of other properties. If you are in one of these you still have to go to the main property for breakfast. Our rooms were excellent with a sitting room downstairs and the bedroom above. Clean and comfortable, on a note of caution, the shower base is very high from the floor, making for a large step down. The food, however, is superb and I would recommend dining in. A marvellous place and I hope to return one day.

Fantastic historic gem

Reviewed By 154gaile

LOVED this hotel. It was handy to be slightly out of the centre as this included free parking & it felt relaxing & quiet. The hotel is set inside a converted wine cellar, we read this in a previous review & it would be a great selling point to list this unusual feature on the hotels website. The staff were 5 star, they went above & beyond to help. The cleanliness of the room was outstanding and the decor very modern & far outweighed what we had expected. Very cheap too, we would highly recommend, thank you. (Very nice Greek restaurant close by too)
