Good

The hotel was okay parking is super limited. We had to park pretty far from hotel but it was okay. The rooms we got was the two twin size bed private room. But it was okay.
This was one of the smallest a&o we have been in but the staff were excellent especially will who made our stay memorable and wanting to come back to visit.
A very nice girl checked me in and she asked if I would prefer a female only room since I was assigned a mixed room. And there were only two of us for six beds.
The shower pressure was fabulous and it was perfectly heated water.
There was a fair amount of noise in the hallways but luckily it calmed down at a reasonable time.
Thank you, A & O: all I hoped for was a good night sleep so it was a great stay.
Good location near the main train station and 1 minute walk to the supermarket. 15/20 minutes walk to the historical center. Rooms are nice and employees are helpful.

At first I was going to leave a bad review. Now I have decided to be fair. If you need a pkace to crash for the nighy that is cheap and cheerful, thos is the one. Staff are great and the facilities are ok. It serves a purpose very well. The smell in the room was rhe other guesys. I will definitely come back again.
Good stay as always , staff was helpful with my early check in . All good

The location is not bad, and it's cheap. However, the rooms are tiny and bare, and the whole building created an impression of a former East German prison.

The Staff are nice. :-) The price for this Hostel is too much...
4 blocks from train station, 2 blocks from tram go to City Center. Is a good and a cheap option in Dresden. Price fair, amenities according what you are paying.
Hotel was in a great location with easy access to transit. Hotel staff were great! But the hotel is very dirty and rooms looked and smelled like they have never been washed. Dirt all over the walls. Other then that you can’t beat the price and the market is right behind.
The staff was always polite and even returned my glasses after I had left them at the entertainment area. I was also able to leave my luggage without any additional fee before the available hour for checking into the room, as well as after checking out.
As for the money the stay was very good. The bed and sheets were fresh, crispy and clean! One minus is the bathroom it does seem not to be cleaned on the daily basis, so if not the bathroom it would have been all 5 stars.
Convenient location it is in a walkable distance from train station and centre.
Overall if just a little bit more clean bathroom area, then money wise it would be fantastic!
At this hotel, you can have unique experiences such as sleeping in a saggy bed, being disturbed by noise you've never experienced before, and having your cleaning request ignored.
