Hotel Schloss Eckberg

Very nice Castle and surroundings . The rooms were very clean.

We were staying at cavaliers house, which has lower standards, rooms as well as restrooms were very small. If we ever come back we would rather stay in the castle, I don’t recommend cavalier house apartments, it’s not good value for money

We chose this destination for the chance to stay at a castle. The castle, grounds and view are truly breathtaking! The old town of Dresden is definitely not to be missed and after a short walk, it can be reached from the castle by tram. The breakfast served at the castle is very good. The view of the the Elbe River from our room was priceless.

It is a little difficult to get to the castle from the train station and with luggage it is challenging. I found the reception to be less informative than it could leaving us having to figure out amenities, etc. on our own. I found my expectations for the interior let down a little by the underwhelming decor. Also we were told that there was a restaurant in the Hotel. When we went to try to have dinner we were told that the restaurant was closed for private functions. This happened both nights we stayed there and because the weddings were using the grounds, we couldn't enjoy the castle in the evenings. On our we figured out that there was a restaurant in a neighbouring castle which we had ate at both nights. We did enjoy the amazing breakfast however but we feel that there weren't enough tables on the terrace to accommodate the number of guests. We felt like we were imposing because we were not part of the weddings taking place. For the price we were charged, we expected to be spoiled. Let's face it, if you are not part of a preferred wedding group, the castle charges you for the view, not the service. The beds were really hard and I would have liked to have coffee in the room. I also don't feel that there was much to accommodate English speaking guests.
