ibis Dresden Zentrum 3 stars

ibis Dresden Zentrum is close to Dresden main railway station, and it is located in two separate buildings about 80 meters from one another: Bastei building is where the only reception is located, Koenigstein is the other building. My room was in Koenigstein, and it was an OK room, with just the bare necessary. The bed was comfortable, and insulation from outside noise was good. The bathroom was also OK, although quite small. Breakfast was ok, with some choices available. Free wi-fi was also OK.

budget hotel in walking distance from trainstation. has all amenities you need for a short visit to Dresden old town. lots of shopping and dining options. Elbe close by. try the local beers. MeuterMedia

Check in was smooth. The lady at the desk was very nice and with good humor too. The bathroom and the bed were good. The view from the 7th floor was pretty nice. The AC was bad especially during the afternoon/evening. Couldn’t connect to the Wifi either. I wish there was more info inside the room or during the check-in process about connecting to the hotel network. Friendly rate and convenient location. Parking lot behind the hotel for a good price

Three high rises around 7 minutes walk to the main train station. Next to a shopping mall, very busy area and plenty of food and shops around. We are on 9th floor, still can hear a bit of the street. But night is quiet. Rooms are spacious and clean. The only problem is wifi. No wifi in bedroom, a bit in the living room.

We stayed in this hotel twice during the last month. The first time we had a little suite on the top floor of the Bastei. This was fine, if a little bare. Checkin and breakfast were fine. The second time we found ourselves in the annex, the Konigstein. Check in at the Bastei was poor with 20 minute queue. The annex had a fast food stall across the front and entry is by room card. The lift was dirty when we arrived and smelled of vaping and did not work properly. The impression is of an unmanned operation. The room was on the 6th floor and was noisy during the evening, from the very busy street below. At breakfast we were instructed to sit at a table already occupied by another guest and the staff member was aggressive with us saying the nicer tables were all for groups. No sign of these by the time we left of course. Also over-zealous table clearing, go to the buffet for more and your cutlery and coffee are gone. So better check in, maybe safes in the better rooms, and some serious staff training about customer service, rather than bullying.
