Hofgarten 1824

Perfect location if you need to travel a lot around Dresden -- Dresden Neustadt train station (all trains stop here) is less than a five minute walk from the Hofgarten. Very clean.

I felt like I was staying in an AirBnB but without the social and grey-economy implications. I was quite surprised to learn that check-in and check-out times are very restricted; I definitely did not know that when I booked. I had an early departure but was able to agree with the receptionist at checkin that I would leave the key in the room. I never saw the receptionist again ... now I understand why payment is in full in advance.

We paid €20 for the breakfast. We arrived 30 minutes before it stopped. When arrived to eat no juice, no hot water, no coffee, eggs, cheese and most bread gone. We had to go somewhere else for a coffee and food. No reception to complain, breakfast man nor interested. Spoiled an otherwise reasonable stay. One couple next to us told us that they never paid fir breakfast and no one checks. We paid and received nothing of worth.

Reception useless, bar closes at 7pm.
