Elbhotel Bad Schandau in Bad Schandau

The fact that I stayed in this hotel was in fact an accident: I had intended to stay in the neighboring Elbresidenz, and the heavy prices seemed quite right. I ended up in this mediocre hotel. It is an ok place. But expect no flying colors. Generally, I like when things work and when smart people have made up a good concept. This is not such a hotel. It looks as if being refurbished in the 80ies (but knowing the history I know this cannot be right). Things are complicated: The checkin, the checkout. I could hardly enter when I arrived after 10 pm and could hardly leave before 6am. When I asked when the boats would go I got limited information. Taxis have been impossible to bet. The hotel is surely not optimized for business travel. It may work for people leisurely spending a couple of quiet days there.
