“Affordable & Excellent Radiators For Winter”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2010
2
people found this review helpful

I booked a hotel single room not the hostel single room. There is a difference between the 2 as my hotel charges were inclusive of bed linen & towels. Also, there was no admin charges for using credit card compared to what other reviewers have stated. I stayed there for 5 nights sightseeing Dresden & Saxony region.

Its a bit of a walk from the Dresden Central Train Station especially so if its snowing & windy and that was the exact weather conditions I was in when I walked there. A&O Hostel has signposting outside the Bayerishce Strasse exit that points you in the direction of its hostel. Look out for the bright orange signposts on the opposite side of the road.

Surprisingly, the room was spotlessly clean including the bathroom upon my check in as I was expecting the worse since its a hostel. But, I don't think they bother to vacuum the laminated flooring cos my bread crumbs were still on the floor when I returned from sightseeing. This happened during my 5 days stay there, no vacuuming as I eat my breakfast in my room every morning from food bought outside.

The pipe radiators were par excellence. All working very well. The room was very warm & cosy. The bathroom also had pipe radiators attached to the walls & it was a toasty bathroom.

The room was small but had everything you needed from a TV with CNN included, a desk & chair, a cupboard with doors and removable clothes hangers. One bad design was that the large TV had to be placed on the desk instead of on the shelf way high above. When I looked at the shelf which was where the TV was originally placed, it was too high up to get a clear view of the TV images so I guessed that is why the TV was shifted down to the desk. Which meant that there was only less than one quarter of space left on the desk to put your personal belongings.

The bed mattress had no springs to it. But the duvet was soft and kept me very warm.

I noticed that the school groups disappeared on Friday , Saturday & Sunday nights so it was reasonably quiet except for slamming of doors by adult guests.

“Good Value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2010

The room and the bathroom is small but for the money, this place is of great value. The location is only a 10 min walk from the train station, the room is clean, and the breakfast is plentiful.

“Great for School excursions not Travellers”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed here for the price, what a mistake. The place was full of German schoolchildren on excursions who played bang on the door games at 2 a.m. in the morning and just filled the place. Room was cheap but beds were low and hard. Bathroom was Tiny. this is not the place for older travellers and anyone who wants a good nights sleep and should be advertised this way. Only plus is the Sky Bar on the roof. Great views , good drinks prices, nice ambience ...when the kinder weren't there.

“Excellent for the price you pay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2010

I travelled with my friends to Dresden in the middle of June and we were looking for a cheap place to sleep so we choose A&O Hostels. We have been to many other A&O and we had just one bad experience (in Munich) so we decided to stay in this chain of hostels again.

We paid 12 EUR per night for a room with 6 beds (plus 3 EUR for sheets) and we also bought a breakfast for 4 EUR. The rooms are big enough and have their own bathroom. Toilet and shower are separated which is great. Unfortunately our room was situated in the 1st floor and the windows just next to the reception so we heard a lot of noise from outside where people were gathering - and as the weather was hot we couldn't close the windows.

The location is not bad, it's about 5 minutes walking from the central station and you need about 20 minutes to reach the centre. But if you want to enjoy the Neustadt which is the centre of night life then it takes a long time if you walk it.

The hostel was very clean and the stuff very helpful. Check-in was very quick and they have free maps of the city at the reception. We also purchased tickets for a sightseeing tours with 6 EUR discount. I recommend to buy the breakfast! It's really cheap and they have everything - cereals, breads, salads, ham and cheese, jam, eggs...

“A&O Hotel & Hostel Dresden”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2010

This is a very good hotel from cheapest. Small rooms are very clean and comfortable. Hotel is near the historical center and main railway station. Also, it was very pleasant that there is a bicycle parking near the entrance. Open terrace on the top of the building was also very intriguing. Very good place for students and young active people.
