"We really like this place! We stayed here three years ago on another trip, and made a point of reserving here again. It is very centrally located in Dresden (there was a huge festival on the weekend we were there, literally right out the front door) and walkable to many of the sites. There are many dining options that are excellent within easy walking distance. Very comfortable with nice-sized rooms. We'd go here again!"

"So this place is located just off the main plaza in the old/ rebuilt part of Dresden. It's location is the biggest draw, the restaurant downstairs is good food reasonably priced so it's pretty great for that. We stayed in one of the junior suites which was nice, the only issue I found was things that are normally supplied with the room were all actually charged for such as the coffee on the counter or the bottle of water in the fridge, this was not a minibar just a bottle of water. We didn't see the charge sign right away so we ended up buying the coffee and water. Just a bit surprised since we see these items all the time just normally included with the room especially if if you are in a higher priced room but here it was all extra. I really liked the accomodations and would stay again however watch for the extras"
