While we were disappointed to be in thepartner hotel residenz and not the upscale designer building, we were delighted with the quality of our room. Breakfast was extra, but bakeries are only a block away. It is a short 5 min walk to the old town area, but an easy walk with spectacular views of the city.

A great place to stay, spacious rooms, friendly staff, great location in a buzzing neighbourhood. small shops, restaurants an of course their own michelin star Caroussel. Parking garage ( 16 € ! bit expensive) on a 80 euro room. nevertheless it's great.

Extraordinary restaurant: attractive decor, well spaced tables, delicious food beautifully presented, friendly unpretentious service. Very nice room, although in a different building on the street. If visiting Dresden to see the tourist attractions, located 20 minutes away on the other side of the Elba.

Located in the Neustadt but not a long walk to the Alstadt over the bridge where pretty much everything is....helpful concierge staff, very roomy accommodations. However, because of the heavy rain and cold weather we encountered, the easy walk was anything but and we ended up jumping into taxis several times to go over the river. There is not a lot to do or see within the immediate vicinity and they chose to decorate the hotel in pseudo modern style, especially the lobby which is a bit jarring considering the lovely historic building it inhabits. And although the restaurant is considered one of the best in Dresden, we thought it just ok and very pricey>however, they are very accommodating so if you don't want the 9 or ll courses or whatever they offer on their regular tasting menu, they will reduce this to a normal size dinner. Given the what ifs re weather, if I were to return to Dresden, I would try to stay in the Altstadt area.
