Hotel Dresden Neustadt

Hotel Dresden Neustadt

📍 Hansastraße 43, Dresden
★★★★ 9.0 (53 reviews)

"The hotel is clean, safe, quite and locates in a good location. Bare in my mind that you have to pay around 19€ per night for parking. Inside the room, there are shower amenities(although shampoo bottle was empty) and a hair dryer as well. A safe can be found to keep your belongings safe. Overall it was a good deal for the price!"

a&o Dresden Hauptbahnhof

a&o Dresden Hauptbahnhof

📍 Strehlener Str. 10, Dresden
★★ 8.3 (175 reviews)

"Not Recommended!!! I stayed at a twin room at A&O Hotel Dresden Hauptbahnhof, and while the price was low, so was the overall experience. The room is extremely small — around 10 square meters, which may be fine for one person, but definitely too cramped for two. I felt like I was in a budget hotel in Hong Kong, not in Eastern Germany. If this were A&O Hotel Hong Kong, I wouldn’t even complain — but this is Dresden, and space shouldn’t be an issue. The worst part, however, was the cleanliness. I found a used dental floss on the floor, clearly left by the previous guest. It was so disgusting I couldn’t even bring myself to take a photo. On top of that, the walls were covered with various marks and stains of unknown origin, which made the room feel even less hygienic. Thankfully, I only noticed the floss on the last night. Another unpleasant surprise: although I was traveling alone, I was told I had to pay city tax for two people, simply because I booked a twin room. In Italy and Spain, similar hotels never charged me double in such cases. After spending 30 minutes at check-in trying to clarify, I gave up and paid the extra tax, just wanting to lie down and rest. Then I discovered that my room was right next to the elevator — a terrible location. I heard people going in and out until 3 AM. When I asked to switch rooms, the answer was simply: “No.” I had booked 4 nights, non-refundable, so I stayed. By the last day, I wasn’t even angry anymore — just numb. Unless you truly have no other options, I would not recommend staying at A&O Dresden. 真心别住这家,非要我现场一个人付两人四晚的城市税,后面吵了半天同意了,后面欺负人安排电梯房,找丫说没房间了还不给换房间,我住了四晚渡劫了算是。"

Bilderberg Bellevue Hotel Dresden

Bilderberg Bellevue Hotel Dresden

📍 Große Meißner Str. 15, Dresden
★★★★ 9.0 (139 reviews)

"The hotel is set amidst beautifully manicured gardens and a spacious courtyard, creating a relaxed, resort-like feel right in the city center. The defining feature for mosmt guests is the panoramic view across the Elbe, which looks out over Dresden's famous Baroque skyline—often called the "Canaletto View." The interior design seamlessly bridges the historic main baroque palace building with larger, more modern accommodation wings"

📍 Prager Str. 2C, Dresden

"It is an unexpectedly big place, the walk way goes on and on and it is quite a long walk from the lift, other than that, the place is very convenient, a very short 6mins walk to the spring market and near all other attractions."
