Although the location is not near the train station, the city is not big. From the New Town Railway Station, take the 11 tram three stops and walk for five or six minutes. Although the bathroom is public, after all, it is clean and well designed, and there is no obstacle to use. There is free coffee at the reception on the first floor and free tea bags in the kitchen. The kitchen is small, but very clean. There is also free section in the refrigerator and shower. I think it is particularly good. You don't have to waste anything you don't want. In order to activate the mobile phone card, the front desk staff helped a lot and the attitude was very good. The only dissatisfaction is that my mobile phone has been connected to WiFi for many times in this youth hostel but shows that I can't surf the Internet. Both mobile phones are like this, and other youth hostels have not encountered it. I don’t know if it’s the phone or the WIFI.
Stayed for one night, with my friend. Considering the price, facility, location, room condition was quite nice.
And the staff service was the best. There was an unexpected strong smell of cigarette in the room, but when I informed this to the front desk, the staff immediately apologized and kindly gave us new room. New room was in great condition. Overall, it was a pleasant stay!
The room was very simple, because the reservation was late, more than 500 nights were still public toilets and bathrooms. I don't know much about the consumption level in Dresden and I don't know how other hotels are.
During my stay, I had an unpleasant encounter at the front desk. When I asked for towels, which I believed I had paid €4 for upon arrival, the receptionist (Felix) stated that I hadn't paid and that no one else was available to help me at that moment. The payment wasn't initially checked, and I was told that no towels would be provided without payment.
After I returned with my receipt, the payment was still questioned, and it was suggested that the €4 might have been for something else, like another purchase. Before contacting a colleague, he made the remark, ”You're not showering tonight anyway,” even though I hadn't mentioned showering. I found this unnecessary and uncomfortable. Only after my insistence did he contact a colleague, who explained that the €4 was for the city tax and bed linen. Once this was clarified, the issue was immediately resolved. This situation could have been cleared up from the beginning if a colleague had been contacted right away.
I also observed guests being loudly addressed in common areas when house rules were enforced, and activities were stopped without explanation. While the hostel itself was nice, the style of communication made my stay unpleasant. I would not stay here again and believe that clearer and more considerate communication from the staff would significantly improve the experience.
The room is nice and tidy, but when I stayed for 2 nights, I can't clean the room and refill the towel. If you want, you have to pay 10 euros towels and 1 euros to clean.
This place is in the middle of the city centre. Such a convenient location. Its so beautiful and too good to be a hostel. The staff was super friendly and helpful too. Definitely recommend. They do have a breakfast on the lounge and gave a 10% discount on my first drink in the bar, which i find pretty awesome.
The location is very good. It is very close to the railway station and bus station. The room is also very hygienic. There are not many seats in the lobby on the first floor, and there are no sofas.
The staff were again the absolute best I've encountered in a long time. Top notch friendliness, and attentive. Always ready to assist in a human way, rather than throwing the rule book at you. Comfortable bed and spotless bathroom as always.
Great place
Quiet, clean, lovely. Run unto solo travelers as well as families and big groups
The pub downstairs is great for those who love to enjoy a beer, but not loud at all for those who like to sleep early
Lovely back yard
Will definitely come back again
