Top Dresden Hotel Reviews

Premier Inn Dresden City Centre

Premier Inn Dresden City Centre

10/10 Excellent
"The staff are always welcoming and friendly, the breakfast is excellent with plenty of choice, and the location is perfect—within easy walking distance of the main attractions. The beds are very comfortable, which always helps us have a good night’s sleep. There are just a couple of areas that could be improved. The shower in our room didn’t drain properly, which was a little frustrating. The hotel parking is also quite limited, especially for larger 4x4 vehicles. It would be great if there were a few wider parking spaces designed for bigger cars, as well as designated parking spaces for disabled guests. On a positive note, there’s a fantastic sushi restaurant right next to the hotel, which is incredibly convenient. We ended up dining there every evening during our stay, and their mango shakes are absolutely delicious! Overall, despite the few issues, we always enjoy staying here."
