5 Stars Hotels in Saxony, Germany

This place is a joke. First, try to find it. Signage is less than minimal. Hopefully, you can figure it out with others who already have or who are also searching for the place. Next, take a nondescript elevator to the 6th floor. If you come after the sun goes down, note that the lobby with the elevator is quick dark, very poorly lit. Get off the 6th floor and turn right. If you come at check in time, be prepared for the line of over a dozen others waiting to check in. They will not check in anyone before three. Nope. Won’t do it. After a half hour, we were directed to our room on the third floor, right above the intersection. Great view from a large window facing the university and Old Town directly to the west, but ah, these are the two big problems. First, the noise of trams, trucks, and then every ambulance in the city must be required to pass through this intersection! Second, summer heat makes the room an oven. One window will open a bit, maybe 10 cm, but don’t get your hopes up for much natural air. We figured the noise would eventually die down, but it didn’t, especially ambulances on a Saturday night. So eventually we closed the window and curtains. That helped contain the noise but then the heat hit us. We failed to find much sleep in our sweat. Ah, but the air conditioner! Try as we might, we failed to get the A/C to work, nor any fan for ventilation! About daylight, we finally slept, only to miss our planned Bach Festival event that morning. Groggily, we tried to get to the reception desk to discuss this issue, but, mind you, the elevator up to the reception does not stop at the third floor. Only down. So this senior citizen had to take the first of four climbs up those stairs to reception on the 6th floor. I asked for a refund for the second scheduled night. It was refused. “We can’t do that. Only Expedia can. You need to call them.” Also, “You can’t get air conditioning in your room because there is none. Hotels in Germany don’t have air conditioning.” And portable fans are not provided either apparently. I called Expedia. They said that, of course, the hotel can refund the payment for the night. Expedia called the hotel. Then spoke with me I returned up the four flights of steps to get my refund. Nope. They refused to refund. But they did provide another room that did not face the street. Ok. We took it. They even provided a bottle of wine, and we slept well that second night. The next morning at check out, the manager asked why we hadn’t turned on the air conditioning…and of course, Germany has air conditioning. And no, the hotel would not be able to refund an unused night as requested. We loved Leipzig! But beware of this joke of a place.

We were in town for the Christmas markets which is one of Germany's best. Well, we couldn't have picked a better place to stay than here. The hotel opens directly upon the central square which is where one of the markets is located. The other major market is just a few steps further across the street. Unfortunately, we weren't given a view room and our room really didn't have a view, but it was comfortable with all the amenities you might expect. We were traveling by car so a big plus was the underground public garage with direct elevator access to the hotel.

Excellent stay from start to finish. Very helpful staff at reception and concierge desk. Ample breakfast (though crowded during a holiday weekend). Large room with work space, TV, a sofa and armchair. Our room faced the street, and there was some noise, but it ended before we turned in. Location could not be better: easy walking distance to all of the Old Town attractions.

Due to a cancelled flixbus, we arrived at the Hyperion Hotel at 1 am dead tired to leave the next morning early. The checking in process was sluggish and the hospitality of the guy that helped us was not so kind. Finally we got the room but Immediately after we arrived in the room we got a message from flixbus that the bus would leave in 10 minutes. We immediately rushed back downstairs and the receptionist who had checked us in 10 minutes earlier. He assured us that no money would be deducted and he would send me a confirmation via e-mail - which I did not receive. Now, almost a month later, I see that the amount has been debited anyway. Since I thought there should be a mistake, I e-mailed for clarification. After several calls and emails I finally I got someone on the phone telling me that the bed was ”used” and they could therefore not resale the room that night. This simply is a lie, there was no time at all to use the bed. After several attempts to get in contact now the manager offered us a 50% refund. What a sad policy, where I should pay for the false promises of this hotel. This kind of business is ruining a nice city like Leipzig. Making profits on the backs of poor students, if that is really your business idea then you deserve to get an honest review: I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The location is perfect, the service is in place, and the stay is relatively comfortable. The location is near Frauenkirchen. It is only 2 minutes to the church. There are many options for eating nearby. The hotel facilities are actually a little bit short for a 5-star hotel. Overall, the stay experience is very good

Overall, an ok stay. The location is perfect; members of staff are friendly, efficient and helpful. From my point of view, 25 Euro for breakfast are fair considering the ample self-service area and the additional options to order egg etc. which are included. My only problem was that there was a very considerable smell coming from all sewers (shower, bidet, sink) in my bathroom. To be fair, they immediately sent someone up after my complaint, but housekeeping could not do much beyond spraying air freshener. The hotel also offered another room but I since I had unpacked everything before noticing and since I was not about to spend a lot of time in the bathroom anyway I declined. Though this is certainly a fundamental drainage issue, the hotel really tried hard to remedy the problem.

The hotel is in the center, one stop from the railway station, next to the city hall, the surrounding architectural style is very characteristic

I must admit, I often approach large chain hotels with a hint of skepticism, expecting a standardized experience that may lack personal touch. However, my recent stay at Gewandhaus Dresden, an Autograph Collection hotel, shattered these preconceptions and left me thoroughly impressed. Over the course of our wonderful 5-day stay, it became evident that Gewandhaus embodies the essence of what sets Autograph Collection properties apart within the Marriott brand. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, the warmth and efficiency of the front desk staff set a promising tone for our visit. Their recommendations for local attractions, dining options, and hidden gems truly enhanced our experience of the city. It was evident that they took the time to understand our preferences and tailor their suggestions accordingly, demonstrating a level of attentiveness that is often lacking in larger hotel chains. Furthermore, the breakfast served daily was a highlight of our stay. Each morning greeted us with a delightful spread of culinary delights, impeccably presented and fabulous service. It provided the perfect start to our days of exploration and adventure. Our room surpassed all expectations. In contrast to typical European standards, it was remarkably spacious and boasted a charming view overlooking a picturesque street.

We have checked in with friends and parents for 3 nights. I wrote by mouth months ago that I wish the suites are next to each other or nearby. Unfortunately, it didn't work, although we were already there at 13.30 clock, and the check at only 15 clock. You didn't show any interest in clarifying that. After we were able to get our suites , we were drawn attention by the young man to the fact that we have to pay immediately ( 3 pairs - 6 people ) . We had to indicate our credit card as a guarantee when booking and could not understand why we had to pay immediately. After paying, I went to the Felix Bar, which is part of it. I ordered drinks there. When I wanted to pay, I was asked if I wanted to write it to our suite. I answered that I had to pay everything so urgently at the arrival. I then paid the drinks in cash and I didn't go to this bar with our friends. To coffee .... I asked in advance by email whether we had the coffee capsules in the room. Then I was told that it has a lot of it available in all kinds. We had a xxl suite with 2 bedrooms to four and had tea capsules and only 2 coffee capsules in the room - a great breakfast 🙈 We then bought in the corner of the capsules in the rewe . The room was never controlled all day, waste was full, toilet paper was not enough, etc ... Very bad, the location is great, the facilities are OK, but the staff is untrained and totally unmotivated. Probably the staff of the bar, who then beside a little at the reception will enjoy.

Beautiful property with underground parking located within walking distance of the old town. Stunning bedroom (upgrade given) which was well furnished and very clean. Welcome drink was offered on arrival. On arrival there was water, fruit in the room. There was a kettle but very small quantity of tea/coffee which was not replaced on the 2nd day. We were very honoured to meet the GM Herr Ralf Kutzner. He invited us to cocktails in the bar were we had a very interesting conversation about careers, travel experiences etc. An extremely enjoyable time. Thank you. We had dinner on our second night in the restaurant and it was a very enjoyable experience. We loved Dresden & would always stay here if we return to the City.

Wonderfully designed apartment - generous, elegant, clean and quite lovely, attentive service. Great location - the city centre, restaurants, bars, are walking well accessible. At the same time super quiet and beautiful view of the garden. Nice pictures, art, books. Own visit app and well filled refrigerator. We'll be happy to come back when we come back to Leipzig.

Wir haben für einen Konzertbesuch ein Wochenende in Leipzig verbracht und uns in der Villa wohl gefühlt. Am Wochende ist kein Personal da. D.h. Self-Service. Was am meisten stört, ist das aggressive Verhalten mancher Polizisten. Direkt danebenen befindet sich das amerikanische Konsulat. Der Eingang der Villa vor der Wache. Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist gehoben und war dem Preis angemessen. Sie sind geräumig und nicht überladen. Wir haben gerne von zimmerhohen Fenstern umgeben, auf einem Kuhfell stehenden, bequemen Ledersesseln an dem kleinen stylischen Glastischchen unseren selbstgekochten Frühstückstee als auch unseren selbstmitgebrachten Wein genossen. Auch das Bad hatte einen dem Preis kompatible Ausstattung. Die einzige Klieinigkeit, die der/die InnenarchitektIn vergessen hatte, ist, dass es zum Rasieren auch Licht von der Seite braucht. Von der Architektur her ist das Gebäude selbst nicht modern sondern in normaler Bauweise ausgeführt. Wir haben insgesamt unseren Aufenthalt genossen, würden die Villa aber nicht nochmal buchen.
