Hotels in Altstadt, Dresden

Felix greeted us with great style and he is a really attentive host. A pleasure to see that ”great service ” does still exist. The rooms are more like student-dorms, so rather tight (two of us) but clean. Located opposite to The Galleria and in close proximity to Dresden's Altstadt, THE PLACE to visit and marvel

Das Apartment ist auf jeden Fall seinen Preis wert, ich buchte allerdings weit im voraus, und das im März, also Nebensaison, wo es wirklich sehr günstig war, immerhin hat es Küche und einen großen Balkon Richtung ruhigem Innenhof. Es gibt allerdings keine Rezeption, man erhält eine halbe Stunde vor der Eincheckzeit (15.00 Uhr) per Email Codes und eine Anleitung, die schlicht kompliziert ist. Dann stellte sich raus, dass die Hausnummer nicht stimmte (der Komplex Wallstraße hat mehrere Hauseingänge, in denen sich Limehome-Apartments befinden). Und dann ließ sich der Hauseingang mit den angegebenen Nummern nicht öffnen. Nach Wartezeit erreichte ich Limehome telefonisch, mir wurde gesagt, ich solle die Tür nach dem Piepston ziehen, aber es gab keinen Piepston, offenbar kaputt. Irgendwann gelang es mir, zu öffnen (diese Probleme begleiteten mich vier Tage lang), dann stimmte der Code für die Apartmenttür im 5. Stock nicht. Am Telefon wurde mir schließlich ein neuer Code gegeben, mit dem ich die Tür öffnen konnte. Dann kriegt man den nächsten Code, mit dem die Tür ab diesem Zeitpunkt aufgeht. Geht's noch komplizierter? Ich habe in den Tagen darauf mehrere verzweifelte Gäste am Gang telefonieren gehört, die teils überhaupt nicht in ihr Zimmer kamen. Apartment ist zwar groß, aber unpraktisch eingerichtet. Winziger Sofatisch, sehr wenig Platz im Bad, Mini-Nachttisch und keine TV-Programmübersicht (tatsächlich gab es nur ganz wenige funktionierende Programme). Große Küche mit Kaffeeautomat. Für mich am schlimmsten: Es gibt keine Heizkörper, offenbar gibt es eine Bodenheizung, man kann nur den AC-Schalter auf die höchste Stufe stellen. Das nützt wenig, es war in den vier Tagen winterlich kalt in Dresden, ich habe im Apartment gefroren, vor allem, weil ich wegen des Wettes dort viel Zeit verbringen musste. Lage, wie erwähnt, dafür perfekt, 5 Gehminuten zum Zwinger, also zur Altstadt, zwei Supermärkte im Gebäudekomplex, Cafés (laut, kalt und unfreundlich) in der Nähe. Straßenbahnhaltestelle vor dem Gebäude, nur wenige Minuten Fahrt zum Hauptbahnhof.

Lovely hotel. Great staff. Check-in and checkout perfect. Rooms clean, good size, wifi perfect, very comfortable all round. Great feature is the convenience store in the lobby with a variety of snacks, wine, beer, etc. Excellent location at the edge of the historic centre. Good value for money. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in this hotel twice during the last month. The first time we had a little suite on the top floor of the Bastei. This was fine, if a little bare. Checkin and breakfast were fine. The second time we found ourselves in the annex, the Konigstein. Check in at the Bastei was poor with 20 minute queue. The annex had a fast food stall across the front and entry is by room card. The lift was dirty when we arrived and smelled of vaping and did not work properly. The impression is of an unmanned operation. The room was on the 6th floor and was noisy during the evening, from the very busy street below. At breakfast we were instructed to sit at a table already occupied by another guest and the staff member was aggressive with us saying the nicer tables were all for groups. No sign of these by the time we left of course. Also over-zealous table clearing, go to the buffet for more and your cutlery and coffee are gone. So better check in, maybe safes in the better rooms, and some serious staff training about customer service, rather than bullying.

First off, the location is great next to Postplatz. It's literally few steps to attractions Semperoper, Residenzschloss, Zwinger, Frauenkirche and the Elbe river. The rooms are tiny with the shower and washbasin inside the actual room, only the toilet separated by a door. There was dust below the beds and the room has seen better days. Overall it was ok, the beds comfy, and cleanliness on an average level. The price was fair given what we got. The breakfast is 8.50 EUR per person. You get some basics. Non-dairy milk (soy / oat) is not available which caused some issues with the cerials (use water or juice). Bottom line is that you get some food, but don't ask for fancy stuff or look for regional items or sustainability.

The accommodation is very central to the city centre. The reception lady is friendly and nice. The room was convenient and clean. What we didn't know that refugees were located there that require security 24/7 and therefore have renounced reservation for breakfast because it came like in a youth hostel. This should be solved differently for hotel guests. Despite 24/7 Security and payment of parking fees, the car disk was shot at night, for several vehicles. In this situation, the staff was completely overloaded.

Very well located and run, Must have been built 50/60 years ago and would have been a showpiece hotel in DDR times. So, steps in odd places and a retrofitted lift. Would be a bit awkward for a wheelchair. Now fully renovated to a determinedly 3-star standard, ie only one room chair and that upright, limited toiletries, austere art/free decor. But a spacious very clean room and bathroom, good breakfast. Curiously we were asked if we needed the room cleaned every day. Rather pricey- but this is central Dresden.

The information is a bit misleading, the hotel is quite agood bit out of the town centre. Probably a 25 minute walking quickly. We, both 80+, needed a taxi to get to the start of the hopon-hopoff bus terminus. We only discovered when we arrived that the resuarant was not open due to alterations. Fortunately the very helpful receptionist ordered us a takeaway pizza and sugested we relax with a beer until it came. She was the first of a succesion of charming staff we dwelt with. Our room had good hanging and shaelf space but somehow did not strike one as being well designed. The bathroom on the other hand was. There is no fridge but has tea/coffee and kettle. We had a blocked basin, a handyman arrived very promptly and cleared it. There is a marvelous backery and coffee shop across the road in the Rowe Building, and a small supermarket. For a great evening meal and a wonderful view ask the hotel to book you a table at one of the restuarants in the Yenidz. The old cigatte factory almost next door.

Super experience! Location, can’t be better, facing the church, get full vision of the street, particularly in the morning when the streets are still quiet and empty. All the highlights are all walking distance. Lots of options of restaurants in the area; Facility is clean and well maintained, and everything you need is can be found in the room. Suitable for family travel with children as well. We found it very comfortable in the room, and we slept very well. Once the window is closed, you won’t be bothered by the outside sound. The city is very nice, we are very glad that we spent one night here in such a great place.

The hotel is in an excellent location, surrounded by important attractions. But the facilities are a bit old
