For newcomers, a few things to keep in mind: Check-in starts only from 4 pm, which was a surprise for me (after travelling to nearly 40 countries, I hadn’t experienced this before). Guests with a German address need to pay an €11 membership fee, while non-German addresses pay €3.50 per night. There is no private parking, only street parking nearby but it's good 6 euro per day. Soap is not provided in the bathroom, so it’s good to bring your own.

The location is very good, breakfast was tasty (and included in the price), and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing.

The property is close to the railway and trams, its very easy for a tourist to locate. Room was very clean and quiet. Staff working 24 hours and speak English

I liked my room. Simply furnished yet comfortable.

Shower head wasn't working well No body gel inside the shower - had to open the shower every now and again to squeeze out the gel provided above the wash basin Floor towel and big towel was provided, but hand towel missing Don't expect a peaceful breakfast experience - chaos in the little buffet (real size cleverly avoided in photos) but I guess it's normal with so many teens Asked for gluten free bread and it didn't come If you can get a cheaper place, have breakfast at a baker's (Bäckerei) of which there are plenty everywhere

Close to the old town - you can pretty much walk everywhere No disturbances during the night

Very basic but still very nice and comfortable

Great location as walking distance to the city centre

The breakfast was rich, but there were many people. There are a lot of guests, so the corridors are a bit narrow.

I was very happy to have a single room at this price. The front desk was very helpful.

It can be a bit noisy sometimes in the early evening so dont expect to do a quick nap in the daytime but i was there in summer so of course its crowdee with young people.. After ten o clock it's silent, thats really amazing and nice

The room is very clean. I had a room for myself. Comfortable shower and everything you need Breakfast has five stars. Its excellent and the staff is very friendly

The room was very small. I didn't like the bed at all. There were two single beds in the room. I was looking for a big twin bed. The beding was very basic. There was no real mattress but a foam one. The room furniture was very basic with a table two chairs and a wardrobe. The whole facilty is full of teenagers. They can be boisterous and loud, running up and down the hallway and stairs. If you are very sensitive about noise, this environment could be challenging for you. There was also some type of construction work going on right outside of my windows. So there was extra loud noise that I tried to keep out by shutting my windows.

What I like the most is the breakfast. It was rich with a lot of varieties. The food was pretty fresh. The bread was toasted and crunchy. I suspect that they make their bread. The location is very central. It's just two stops away from the main train station.

As in the last year: the building is under a reconstruction. So there are a really inconvenient and really hard noise on the workdays. There are a lot of sand in the staircase and in the lifts, on the corridors. It is really annoying and a big bad thing for your convenience and relax (it is impossible). In 2025 the drinks for the breakfast (like beverages and cacao) are very bad, tasteless, over-diluted.

The location of the accomodation is very good for me. Everything is close to the building what I like or use during my travel: S-Bahn trainstation, city center and shops. I was here many times and I really like this Jugendgästehaus. The breakfast is very good, and assorted.

I need to pay extra because I'm not a member of international youth hostel. 10+ mins walk to the old city 20 min to the main station. They use very old keys and I need to lock the door from inside and leave the key at the reception each time I leave the hostel.

Very good breakfast. Big room. 24h reception.

It's a hostel, but really decent one. No luxury, but everything works as expected. Ample breakfast, from selection of cheese to cold cuts, salads, fruits…

Stayed in June 2025

There wasn’t really anything I didn’t like. It was good value for the money and the breakfast was more than expected. It is the only stay on our trip so far that had bananas.

The day staff was so helpful in finding our way around. We only had a reservation for one night but he accommodated us even though it was our error in arrival dates.

sometimes there was quite a long queue at the reception desk

very good meals, good location

There is no information about buying hostel card. It was mandatory to buy this card. It's not fair.

Breakfast.

The walls were too thin, and I always woke up because of the noise coming from other rooms and the floor.

Room was clean

I stayed in many different youth hostels (Jugendherberge) in Germany. This one is definitely among the good ones. You can easily reach the city center by bike and many tourist attractions. It is also clean and budget-friendly, which I definitely recommend if you travel to Dresden.

The pillows were not too great and radiator did not function well. I didn’t complain but I guess it was fine after a few hours. And this location is out of the way from all tourist areas so just keep that in mind. Will require a lot of walking to reach central train station and city center.

The room was big and clean. Bathroom was also good. Facility is actually pretty nice with a nice breakfast in morning.

Stayed in February 2025

Breakfast was a little disappointing; plenty of cafe options nearby, however.

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I had a very smooth check-in and was allowed to leave my car a few hours past the check-out time. Room was basic but comfortable. The property is a very comfortable walk to Altstadt and the historical sights.
