Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has impressively modern rooms, but they lack practicality with no space for toiletries or relaxation. The noise from the operating tramway can affect your stay, yet the efficient noise-reduction windows help. The service is friendly but had some initial hiccups. The location is a major benefit, close to key attractions and transport links. The dining experience offers diverse and tasty options, although at times limited. Overall, it's a stylish choice with some drawbacks to consider.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was very uniquely designed and spacious, especially the huge bathroom, but the furniture felt claustrophobic and not very practical. The air-conditioning was a relief in the hot summer months, but the noise from the passing tramway was quite disruptive.
The hotel room was spacious and quiet, equipped with a fancy coffee maker, kettle, and ironing board. The big bath was a great addition after coming from a smaller room in Hamburg. However, there was a slight smell of drains in the room.
Staying at this hotel was like a journey back in time to the East Germany of the DDR, with very pleasant rooms featuring large windows that bathed the room in daylight early in the morning. The terrace provided a lovely spot to enjoy fresh air while having breakfast. The location was extremely convenient, just a 5-minute walk from the old city, making it easy to explore all the key sites in Dresden. The dining options, though a bit pricy, offered abundant and great quality food every morning.
The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms with interesting dimensions and an amazing bathroom, but lacks certain furniture like a dining table and refrigerator. The service is excellent and a bit informal, with some room for improvement in friendliness. The location is ideal, close to transportation and attractions. The dining options are good but slightly crowded and expensive. The facilities are well-maintained.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel in a good location, although the facilities were a bit disappointing. The room was bright and airy with a nice view, but the noise from passing trams could be bothersome at times.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious, modern, and nicely decorated with a beautiful view, although they were not soundproof, so it could get a little noisy in the mornings when the cleaning personnel started working. The service was initially lacking, with three people mostly standing around but eventually became helpful and friendly. The location was convenient, just a few minutes' walk from the City Center and with good accessibility to the tram station. The dining experience could have been better with a richer menu, although the complimentary bread was a nice touch.
My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable. The rooms were impressively modern and spacious, equipped with top-notch toiletries and coffee/tea makers. However, there were some impractical aspects like the lack of space to put toiletries and no nightstands for convenience.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The location is decent, not too far from the center, though it could use some upgrades. The service was a mix of excellent and friendly with a touch of arrogance. The dining options were satisfactory, but not always timely. The area is well-connected and close to some key spots in the city.
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the city center and major attractions, making it a great base for exploring. The rooms are modern but lack some practical amenities. The service was friendly and accommodating. The dining options are acceptable but could be improved in terms of variety. Overall, a good choice for a stay in Dresden.
