At first I was going to leave a bad review. Now I have decided to be fair. If you need a pkace to crash for the nighy that is cheap and cheerful, thos is the one. Staff are great and the facilities are ok. It serves a purpose very well. The smell in the room was rhe other guesys. I will definitely come back again.
Hotel was in a great location with easy access to transit. Hotel staff were great! But the hotel is very dirty and rooms looked and smelled like they have never been washed. Dirt all over the walls. Other then that you can’t beat the price and the market is right behind.
As for the money the stay was very good. The bed and sheets were fresh, crispy and clean! One minus is the bathroom it does seem not to be cleaned on the daily basis, so if not the bathroom it would have been all 5 stars.
Convenient location it is in a walkable distance from train station and centre.
Overall if just a little bit more clean bathroom area, then money wise it would be fantastic!
Clean room besides some dust bunnies under the bed. Easy walk from train station and conveniently has an Aldi immediately behind building. Shared kitchen isn’t much- more of a small room where no more than two people can comfortably fit with a microwave, two burners and a toaster. Not ideal for a long term stay or any intensive cooking. Very nice staff who spoke English.
I took a single room in the hostel. The room and lobby were clean. The single bed was firm. The bathroom was fitted with a nice shower.
There is one flight of stairs to reach the entrance. Inside there is a lift.
The smoking area is outside the entrance.
The hostel is a 10 minute walk to the main train station. Trams to the city Center are a five minute walk away.

The hotel was okay parking is super limited. We had to park pretty far from hotel but it was okay. The rooms we got was the two twin size bed private room. But it was okay.
Good location near the main train station and 1 minute walk to the supermarket. 15/20 minutes walk to the historical center. Rooms are nice and employees are helpful.

The location is not bad, and it's cheap. However, the rooms are tiny and bare, and the whole building created an impression of a former East German prison.

The Staff are nice. :-) The price for this Hostel is too much...
4 blocks from train station, 2 blocks from tram go to City Center. Is a good and a cheap option in Dresden. Price fair, amenities according what you are paying.
The staff was always polite and even returned my glasses after I had left them at the entertainment area. I was also able to leave my luggage without any additional fee before the available hour for checking into the room, as well as after checking out.
At this hotel, you can have unique experiences such as sleeping in a saggy bed, being disturbed by noise you've never experienced before, and having your cleaning request ignored.
