We did not stay at the hotel, but ate lunch in the restaurant on a day trip to Pillnitz. I had the lamb soup and it was absolutely delicious! My husband had the potato soup and it was also wonderful. Service was excellent. I would strongly recommend the restaurant for a meal even if you don't stay in the hotel.

This is absolutely pure luxus. We were very satisfied with our stay there. Friendly and effective staff, who were good at english, where our german vocabulary failed ;0) Nice, tidy and very quiet rooms with view to the vineyards with their guard towers and a small ruin. Excellent breakfast. We bought their 3 course menu at night (EUR 25), which... More

The Hotel lives up to it's 4-star rating and more. In fact it is much better than many 5-star Hotels I have stayed at. Everything is impeccable - nothing is out of place. The rooms are immaculate and in pristine condition, and have everything except tea/coffee which was surprising. The breakfast was very good, and the evening meals we had... More

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
