We stayed here for Christmas 2011. The rooms were large and clean. The staff were great, not all could speak English but many could and they all went out of their way to help. The restaurant was wonderful. It was a lovely family run hotel which was lovely particularly over Christmas. Because we travelled by train the hotel picked us... More

Requested a upper level room (would highly recommend this--so you can leave windows open with privacy). Our room overlooked the outdoor restaurant seating and garden area. Room was extremely clean with a large bathroom (very nice!!!). Take a walk through the grounds and down to the castle's verdanda are overlooking the Elbe River and watch river cruise boats and just... More

Dresden is a live example of what mankind can do, for the good and for the bad. After the terror and destruction left by WWII, the wonderful historic buildings were rebuilt at perfection. Just a few kilometers away from the fantastic historic town, the Schloss Hotel Pillnitz is a gorgeous destination for romance and gastronomy. The hotel is spotless, with... More

The Schlosshotel Dresden-Pillnitz is ideally situated between Dresden, Saxon Switzerland and among other nice places the Bad Schandau, located in fabulous castle surroundings. Staff really outdid themselves, when my wife and I visited the hotel in mid-October, '08. Room was nicely rustic, super-clean and with most options, including a hairdryer and fridge. Exceptionally clean bathroom & shower, and the whole... More

After staying in and driving through centers of several large cities-Budapest and Prague, we really enjoyed the quiet relaxing atmosphere of the Schlosshotel Dresden Pillintz. Even though the location is more than a 20 minute drive into Dresden, this area directly next to the palace is lovely and local restaurants were delightful. There is a nearby ferry and then a...

We stayed here after reading the reviews and so happy we did. We travelled with 2 boys 11 and 13. We could not get a booking through any of the bargain websites and decided to contact the hotel directly. They were fantastic and did their utmost to ensure we had the accommodation we required. We had 2 beautiful rooms and... More

Our family has stayed in many hotels in Europe, and the Schloss Hotel Pillnitz is our new favorite. The staff and facilities of the Pillnitz exceeded our expectations in every way. The hotel is located on the grounds of a beautiful palace on the banks of the Elbe. Within minutes of checking in, we were stretching our legs in the... More

This is a good location from which to visit Dresden, Meissen and Swiss Saxony. As it's out of town, on the river, a relaxing atmosphere pervades. The bedrooms are large, not luxurious but well furnished in a slightly rustic way. Very clean with good beds and a nice bathroom. No public rooms to speak of. Helpful staff and management. Quiet,...

Nicely furnished rooms looking over car park or into courtyard (with restaurant). Park of Pillnitz Castle is fabulous and easily accessible after the day tourists have left. Nice service. When we were there they had 2 big parties - one wedding, one graduation - that could hardly be heard in the room. We tried a nice restaurant close by that... More
