"We really like this place! We stayed here three years ago on another trip, and made a point of reserving here again. It is very centrally located in Dresden (there was a huge festival on the weekend we were there, literally right out the front door) and walkable to many of the sites. There are many dining options that are excellent within easy walking distance. Very comfortable with nice-sized rooms. We'd go here again!"

Top Altstadt Dresden Hotel Reviews

Star G Hotel Premium Dresden Altmarkt

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Beautiful, well maintained hotel. The room was spacious with a balcony looking onto the square. I was worried about noise as our room faced the square, but it was sound proof and had drapes that blocked out the light. The shower pressure was good and the water was hot. We did not pay for breakfast, so no comment."

Holiday Inn Express Dresden Zentrum by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The best bed I’ve ever slept in at a hotel (very firm) with a choice of pillows. Room was great and toiletries were good (Dove). The breakfast was very good with a large selection and great Bircher muesli. Staff were helpful and friendly. The location was very central to both tram stops, main train station and for walking to town."

AMEDIA Plaza Dresden

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at AMEDIA Plaza Dresden. The hotel is in an excellent location, making it very convenient to explore Dresden and enjoy the beautiful historic center. The room was very clean, comfortable, quiet, and well maintained. The staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming throughout our stay. Breakfast was excellent, with a good variety of fresh options and everything well organized. It was a great way to start the day. We also appreciated the overall atmosphere of the hotel—it was comfortable, relaxing, and felt very well managed. The combination of location, cleanliness, service, and breakfast made our experience especially enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Dresden and highly recommend AMEDIA Plaza Dresden to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay. Thank you for a great experience!"
