Hotel & City Appartements Rothenburger Hof

The hotel has recently changed management. The old-fashioned German bourgeois atmosphere has given way to something more hip, in keeping with the surrounding hip neighborhood. There are many interesting restaurants and stores within a short radius of the hotel. It is just a few stops by tram from the Neustadt train station, or the historic center of Dresden, on the other side of the Elbe. The hotel's neighborhood didn't sustain damage in the notorious bombing of 1945, so it gives the appearance and feeling of old Dresden. Despite the hip decor,somewhat jarring to an older tourist, this is a convenient, comfortable and welcoming place to stay, that provides excellent value for the money. The hotel is on a street that has a tram line, so ask for a room facing the back, or one of the garden, motel-like units behind the main building. This hotel used to have the most amazing buffet breakfast I have ever seen; unfortunately that is a thing of the past, but the breatkfast is still above average, fresh and of good quality. The staff is unusually friendly and welcoming, though their English skills are not of the best.
