A nice and reasonably priced hotel located 10 minutes walk away from Dresden HBF. Aldi is right behind the hotel so cheap groceries was easily accessible. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly and we checked in early to our room with no issue nor extra charge. There is also breakfast option available and a bar at the top of the hotel if you wish to have a drink. The room window offers a great view of Dresden. Overall great hotel and great price!
The room was very simple, because the reservation was late, more than 500 nights were still public toilets and bathrooms. I don't know much about the consumption level in Dresden and I don't know how other hotels are.
The location is very good. It is very close to the railway station and bus station. The room is also very hygienic. There are not many seats in the lobby on the first floor, and there are no sofas.
During my stay, I had an unpleasant encounter at the front desk. When I asked for towels, which I believed I had paid €4 for upon arrival, the receptionist (Felix) stated that I hadn't paid and that no one else was available to help me at that moment. The payment wasn't initially checked, and I was told that no towels would be provided without payment.
After I returned with my receipt, the payment was still questioned, and it was suggested that the €4 might have been for something else, like another purchase. Before contacting a colleague, he made the remark, ”You're not showering tonight anyway,” even though I hadn't mentioned showering. I found this unnecessary and uncomfortable. Only after my insistence did he contact a colleague, who explained that the €4 was for the city tax and bed linen. Once this was clarified, the issue was immediately resolved. This situation could have been cleared up from the beginning if a colleague had been contacted right away.
I also observed guests being loudly addressed in common areas when house rules were enforced, and activities were stopped without explanation. While the hostel itself was nice, the style of communication made my stay unpleasant. I would not stay here again and believe that clearer and more considerate communication from the staff would significantly improve the experience.
The staff were again the absolute best I've encountered in a long time. Top notch friendliness, and attentive. Always ready to assist in a human way, rather than throwing the rule book at you. Comfortable bed and spotless bathroom as always.

The room is nice and tidy, but when I stayed for 2 nights, I can't clean the room and refill the towel. If you want, you have to pay 10 euros towels and 1 euros to clean.
Great place
Quiet, clean, lovely. Run unto solo travelers as well as families and big groups
The pub downstairs is great for those who love to enjoy a beer, but not loud at all for those who like to sleep early
Lovely back yard
Will definitely come back again
This place is in the middle of the city centre. Such a convenient location. Its so beautiful and too good to be a hostel. The staff was super friendly and helpful too. Definitely recommend. They do have a breakfast on the lounge and gave a 10% discount on my first drink in the bar, which i find pretty awesome.
Very Good
