"Right on the plaza for Dresden Christmas market. Courteous staff. Not exactly wheelchair or disable friendly building, but I can see where they have made changes to make it so. Good breakfast. Discounted parking for the garage. Overall, a comfortable stay. "
"Stayed here for 9 days last week during the Christmas markets. The hotel could not be better located as you literally walk out the front door and there is a market to your right and then a little bit further left is the historical market. The train station is a five minute walk away so that was also convenient as we were taking the train to several other cities.
The rooms are very small, but adequate. The only thing we didn’t like is there is no closet and no in room safe.
Breakfast is plentiful and lots of variety, but it’s incredibly crowded. You need to get there early or late otherwise you’ll stand in line to get a cappuccino. The front desk was lovely and very helpful. Would stay here again."
"Location was excellent so close to Old Town and Christmas Markets this was the #1 feature. Arrived 1230 room unavailable but other guests who checked in at same time and after us were given immediate access so unsure what the real issue was. But enjoyable 2nt stay in this great city"
