Hofgarten 1824

The room is very clean, big and comfortable. Stuff was nice and the check in process went smoothly, since we read all we needed to know (strict check in time, they accept only cash or some German cards). The location is good, about 15-20mins walking toncity center. Street parking possible in front of the hotel, 3€ per day.

Very uncomfortable pillow.

The building was cool. The room was nice and clean.

A 20 minute walk from the center, but many public transportaion options are available. The housekeeper woke us up an hour before check out telling us to go, luckily I had a print out of the check out time to show her. It was done in a rather rude manner.

This is a nice and fairly small hotel within easy reach of the Dresden Neustadt station which also has a Lidl supermarket. From here we were able to walk into the centre of Dresden across the Augustus bridge quite easily in order to go to Christmas Markets in the evening. The hotel is fairly basic inside but we found it very quiet and functional and comfortable. As the hotel states quite clearly (and we had two email reminders from them to reinforce this), they have no lift and they don't permit you to store luggage there before 15:00. Our train got in from Prague at 13:00 and we had hoped to use the left luggage lockers at the station, but they were all taken or broken, so we walked to the hotel anyway and although they were there at reception, they weren't able to allow us to leave our luggage there or let us sit inside. If this happens to you, there is a courtyard area which they were happy for us to sit in and there is one seat which has cover from rain, however we'd advise anyone coming by public transport not to rely on left luggage lockers (we could have got a later train, arrived at 15:00 and checked in straight away). For us this was a bit annoying as the staff were there and we could have been checked into our room, but it's understandable as they have other things to do during the day and can't guarantee the security of luggage, and it wasn't their fault that there weren't any working luggage lockers at the station. We weren't able to do as much sightseeing in Dresden as we'd hoped as a result (it was getting dark by 15:00), although the main purpose of our visit was to see Christmas Markets and the Dom, which we still did. (We skipped breakfast the next day so that we could do some sightseeing in the morning instead, since check-out was at 11:00.) Because of this, we'd recommend that you stay a couple of nights and don't try to arrive at the hotel earlier than 15:00.

The staffs are friendly. The hotel near tram station.
