"Das einzig positive ist die Lage des Hotels ansonsten habe ich mich nicht wohl gefühlt kam mir vor als hätte ich ein Hostel bzw Jugendherberge gebucht Ausstattung sehr alt Schimmlige Fugen in der Dusche Geschirr nach dem Frühstück mussten wir selbst abräumen Beim Frühstück wurde aus der leeren Schüssel die Garnitur mit bloßen Händen rausgenommene und in die neue Schüssel gelegt und nochmal ordentlich ausgekratzt und in die neue Schüssel rein…. Ich werde dieses Hotel definitiv nicht weiter...

Star G Hotel Premium Dresden Altmarkt

10/10 Excellent
"Good value for money. Great location within a nice historic building. Comfortable bed and good sized bedroom. The only weird thing is that the showers don't have a door and what's worse is that there is a mirror right in front of the shower."
