Gutshof Hauber

My wife, daughter and I spent four pleasant nights here at 105 Euros/night (including the breakfast buffet). The room and bathroom were clean, modern and quiet (except for the loud access door from the stairs to the hallway). The hotel is near a busy street but situated such that there is no street noise. The roll-away bed had an ancient, worn out mattress, but the staff replaced it with a new, firm mattress. The breakfast buffet had a good variety of items. Not extensive but more than adequate. In addition, there is a lovely bakery at the entrance to the hotel courtyard. The hotel is eight KM east of Dresden. The tram stops close to the hotel and takes only a few minutes to get to the altstadt. The Elbe River bike path is only 300 meters away. We rented bikes from the hotel and had a pleasant ride to/from and within Dresden. There is plenty of room within the hotel courtyard for parking (at no extra charge). The staff was helpful. In particular they gave us good information on taking the train to Meissen (we concluded it was easier than driving) and how best to access the dramatic, towering rock formations in Swiss Saxony (go to Stadt Wehlen, park by the river, and walk about 2-3 KM through the woods to Bastei and return on the bike path by the river). They also recommended we visit the nearby Schloss Pillnitz (definitely worthwhile).
