Hotels near Dresden Christmas Market, Dresden

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.

We were returning from the north and checked in on Good Friday for 2 nights. The hotel is very centrally located to the major sights in Dresden's old town. The rooms are spacious, you don't hear the street noise. Clean and tidy house, the staff is friendly and courteous. The breakfast was plentiful and had a large selection. Value for money absolutely fine. We would come back if there is a chance.

Üblicherweise sind die Courtyards immer ein wenig bäh. Ganz anders hier. Toll geführtes Haus. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, das WLAN schnell und stabil, Fenster sind zum öffnen und das Leselicht am Bett ausreichend hell. Die Gym ist gut ausgerüstet und das Personal angenehm aufmerksam. Toll, liebe Sachsen. Finally, dass Frühstück ist vom Feinsten, ich komme sehr gern wieder. Bitte vorher dann die Haribomischung im executiv Bereich verstecken, ich kann nicht widerstehen ;)

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.

Great hotel with parking outside the door. All staff were very friendly and premature but not put friendly ☺️ We spent two nights at the Holiday Inn Dresden City South and everything was very clean and also the famous hair on the bed or in the shower was NOT here to see. Although we were only staying for two nights, we have always got a fresh made bed and fresh towels without which you had to take care of any way. I myself, as my friend says, are very pinging, but for the booked price of just €75 the night including breakfast we were fully satisfied. Just because our room had also a small window to be opened 🥰 Also on the mattress we have been able to sleep more than well, although the double bed is moved from two single beds was not one of us on the night Once in the middle between the two 😁 Only a manko, as we come from the country's North Sea Coast we are used to fresh eggs and house-made dressing with herbs, we deduct a point for this. Because the industrial rhetoric unfortunately makes breakfast a little bad. And be honest about so much more effort it is not even to hit a few eggs in the pan plus a few fresh herbs ☺️ Great would be if this would be improved. Where will very likely come back again! ☺️

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.

From the time we walked in until we left, the 4 nights 5 days were the BEST. Staff greeted us with a smile, we requested our room away from the lift and he went out of his way to find us a perfect room. Any time we came to reception every staff working at the Hotel could not do enough and always smiling What a lovely atmosphere, we loved it and cannot praise enough for the staff. The only disappointment was not the the staff maybe the hotel management policy where you don't get your room cleaned. But PLEASE at least empty the bins in the room. Not hygienic leaving rubbish in the room for so long. And phone in the room would be better for emergency please. If we slipped how do we get help. Again I know the staff would do anything to help but need to be able to contact

It’s been a few years since we’ve reported on a Motel One establishment. This one is across from the spectacular Zwinger and steps away from the Altstadt, but a 20-minute trek to the Hauptbahnhof. The rooms and the public areas remain wonderfully furnished, with the turquoise scheme upfront. However, the breakfast and bar area can get extremely and uncomfortably crowded during the busy breakfast rush, and the queues for the coffee machine may take awhile, and you may also feel that you’re always blocking the reach of someone who needs specific items or just needs passage through the queue to get to where he needs to go. Another aspect for this day and age, and at the hotel’s specific price point in particular, that requires consideration is the lack of dedicated USB charging ports. If you’re from overseas, these features can be very helpful, when you have multiple items that need to be powered. The hotel also does not provide glasses anymore, only paper ones, which feels rather tacky. Finally, some travellers should be aware of the fact that in a typical German hotel such as this, guests usually only get towels in sizes of large and very large—no hand or face towels here. However, we don’t get radiators that dry them, as you may find in other establishments. However, not unexpectedly, you do get the basics: cleanliness throughout, good room temperature controls, noise levels under control, reasonably comfortable bed, good toilet pressure and water temperature controls in the bathroom, nice lighting options in the room, workable wi-fi, competent housekeeping, and friendly and helpful staff. While the breakfast buffet is not as endless as at many hotels of this class, it is cheaper here, and the space is admittedly very attractive. Overall, despite the concerns here, it’s still good value for money, but just not as great as it was a few years back.

When I came to Dresden, I chose to stay at Holiday Inn for the following reasons: 1) Service: As an IHG hotel, the service level is stable. When checking in, the front desk will inform the customer of the current arrival of the hotel in advance, patiently ask the customer about the room requirements, and if the customer arrives early, the hotel will allow the customer to join the IHG membership to enjoy early check-in. Every morning when I go to the restaurant to eat, I can see different waiters politely but not embarrassing to greet me; When I meet the housekeeping in the corridor, I will also greet them politely. 2) Hygiene: Clean the room, change the bath towels, and refill new tea bags and coffee every day. Shortly after the restaurant guests finished eating, the waiter cleaned the table cleanly, there were no bread crumbs on the floor, and the buffet table was also wiped clean without oil stains, soy sauce stains, and tea stains. 3) Facilities: The hotel is warm like spring, and there are heating and air conditioning in the room. The bathroom in the room is large, the shower water pressure is very comfortable, and the water temperature is also comfortable. It is really comfortable to take a hot bath after a day out~ 4) Environment: The hotel is located on a small street outside the old town and is very quiet at night. It takes 3 minutes to walk to Zwinger Palace and 10 minutes to walk to the Cathedral of Our Lady. There is a Sichuan restaurant less than 100 meters away from the hotel. It has a Chengdu flavor (numbing), which is delicious!

Very good and cosy hotel! Nice and clean room, equipped with everything you could need. Two things that could be improved: please, change the pillows, they are terrible; and also don't charge for the coffee in the room - it is indeed bad practice. Everything else ir perfect and I would recommend this hotel for everyone, who does not need to stay in the center of Dresden.
