Surrounded by colourful cafés and pubs, this brightly designed hostel is located in Dresden's Neustadt district. It offers individually furnished rooms and free WiFi internet.

The Hostel Lollis Homestay Dresden provides unique rooms, a fully equipped communal kitchen and free tea and coffee. If needed, linen can be rented at the hostel.

Absolutely in love with this place! It's so lively, in the very heart of Neustadt: there was a countless amount of places just around the corner. This hostel didn't really feel like it was a hostel, it was more like you stayed at someone's fun hippie-like apartment. The staff is just exceptional, they're super friendly and helpful - I bothered one of them so much when I just came, and he was as friendly as he was the moment I arrived. I'll definitely come back, now with friends!

This friendly and comfortable hostel is in the middle of the pub district of Dresden-Neustadt, not far from the historical city centre. Free WiFi is available in public areas.

This area is also the cultural centre of Dresden, and the hostel is situated right above the popular pub, Planwirtschaft.

The location was amazing, right in the heart of Neustadt Hippi Corner, surrounded by bustling restaurants, cafes, and bars. The double bedroom with a shared bathroom was super clean and quiet. The car park, at 8 euros a day, was reasonable compared to street parking. The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended to family stays as well!

Located in the vibrant art quarter of Dresden-Neustadt, this brightly decorated hostel boasts a unique flair with individually painted rooms, just a 6-minute tram ride from Dresdens Old Town.

The Hostel Mondpalast offers rooms and dormitories which have been designed by different Dresden artists. Towels can be borrowed for a surcharge on request.

This is an exceptional hostel that seems to have everything right. The personnel were all nice, easygoing and very friendly. The rooms had enough room and were comfortable for hanging out. The showers were clean and good. The whole hostel was impeccably clean and well maintained. First floor has a very cozy bar and kitchen area for hanging out. I was there in February and it was pretty lively, with cool people from all over the world. You can also rent bikes from them, regular single-gear and electric with 6 gears. I rented the latter one and it was good enough for a 60 km cycling trip to Saxon Switzerland National Park (you can come back by train with your bike). Kitchen was well equipped and had enough room too.

    The room at the Hostel was very clean and the receptionist was kind and helpful. The common area clean, quiet with free tea and coffee 24/7. Almost every day there were some activity/dinner/games to do with all the guests. Considering that I was traveling alone, that was an occasion to meet new people and create community. I super recommend this hostel.

    Great location, great apartment with view on the Frauenkirche. Although it is right in de hart of Dresden, at night it was really quiet. Parking is great, cheaper than the public parking garage. The apartment had a lot of space and a great bath. I really enjoyed the stay. Did not use the breakfast possibility at 5start hotel, but I am sure this would have been nice as well. Dresden is a beautiful city and this place gives you the opportunity to fully enjoy it.

    The hotel is in a great location, situated halfway between the main train station and the historic centre. It was very quiet as we came just after all the Christmas markets had finished. The rooms were clean and comfortable with hairdryer, tea and coffee and a safety box.

    This was my first time staying in the hostel dormitory and I was worried about the allocation of beds, but the hostel had already arranged everything. The bed was soft, the pillows and duvet covers were very clean. The bathroom and toilet in the room were also very clean. All in all quite comfortable. The location is excellent, 5min walk from Hbf Dresden, very convenient for travelers.

    All according to middle-low budget standard hotel. Great location just next to train station. Sizeable restaurant to eat breakfast (no waiting); rooms are clean and whole facility seems to be relatively recently renovated

    Fantastic atmosphere, really great for getting to know new people on your trip; fun and creatively arranged, a very artistic and laid-back place; free coffee and tea; located in a funky district. If I were to point to the perfect youth hostel, this would be it.
