Penck Hotel Dresden

Overall, I would stay somewhere else if I were to visit Dresden again. The hotel's service was lacking. There was no shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in my room. I asked at the front desk if they had any. The bespectacled receptionist opened a drawer under the desk and gave me shampoo and body lotion and said, "We have no conditioner and body soap. Is it okay?" It wasn't, so I asked if she could ask the cleaning staff. She called but told me they didn't have any, either. I stayed there for two nights without conditioner and body soap. They didn't even try to bring them to me later, which I found very odd. Not that those things were absolutely necessary, but it was nevertheless inconvenient not to have them. Rooms: My room at Penck Hotel Dresden was spacious and comfortable. It was adequate, if not outstanding. The small sink countertop was somewhat inconvenient, but it wasn't a big deal. Walkability: The hotel is pretty close to Dresden Mitte station, which can be convenient when you go out of town by train, but you need to take the local train to HBF or Dresden Neustadt to catch express trains. Somewhere closer to main tourist attractions would probably give you a better experience of Dresden. Food & drinks: The location of the hotel looked good on the map because of its proximity to Zwinger, but I didn't realize that there were very few dining options around the hotel. There was a substandard Sushi restaurant in front of the hotel, and that's pretty much it. You need

A very nice, modern hotel. The bed was very comfortable, the room adequately spacious. There was an odd window between the bedroom and bathroom. The hotel was busy with conference-goers. We had the bar nearly to ourselves until the afternoon session got out, after which the bartenders were overwhelmed with orders from the adjoining dining area. Up until then, we had great, friendly service. The breakfast buffet had much variety and was very plentiful. Coffee was good. Again, the area was very crowded with conference-goers. The hotel is in a good location for walking to some historic sites and is very close to a stop for the hop on/off tour bus. Front desk staff was quite helpful with directions and recommendations.

Amazing stay with great art and an awesome bathtub.

The hotel is far from the historic center The room is tiny and inconvenient The bath room is inconvenient And has no facilities like shampoo The breakfast was ok The lobby is nice and full of paintings The staff in the dinning room was noncooperative

The room was not cleaned after the first night. I only stayed for two nights - so you don't clean for short periods like this? The liquid soap was available in only one place, at the main water sink, but not under the shower. I had to move it between the two places to use it. NO GOOD. The overall setup of the room is very impractical with poor lighting. CLOSET SPACE is very small and hidden, not clear how to get to it. I had to swing open the table to get to it. Otherwise the service was friendly, and the location is great.
