10 Top-Rated Hostels hotel in Saxony

April 26, 2023 Deane Carmody

Like catnip for culture lovers, Saxony beckons visitors to eastern Germany with museums, musical events and artisans. The state capital, Dresden, is home to the restored Frauenkirche church and the eye-popping Zwinger museum, both showcases of 18th-century Baroque architecture. Music reigns in Leipzig, where Bach and Mendelssohn's former residences are now museums. Visit Meissen for its wines and signature porcelain. Castles adorn the central Saxony landscape, inspiring hiking and cycling tours.

Fair Priced Hostel Near City Centre

I have to say the staff was helpful! They had accidentally charged my stay during check-in although I had already pre-paid, and they knocked on my door to alert me of the mistake and apologized profusely (although it was no huge deal) - I would have come down and established it the following day but I had a long day of travel. Anywho - the rooms were very comfortable (beds) and had plenty of space for baggage, and even a desk. I appreciate rooms with a surplus of ports for chargers! Bathrooms were consistently clean and the showers were enjoyable warm. Breakfast was easy to access from the lobby. Cons - Rooms were cold. I even wore my scarf one night due to the chill factor in the room. Would recommend a thicker blanket during the winter months. Breakfast was fair - could have had more options, it was the same each day I was there. The location is a bit far from all of the attractions Dresden is famous for, but on a nice day, it was an easy walk.

a&o Dresden Central Station

Just a short walk from the main railway station, with excellent transport links to all the beautiful attractions Dresden and its surroundings have to offer. With 163 single, double, and family rooms, as well as multi-bed dorms there is something for every budget and taste. Younger guests will be delighted with the kids’ corner, and there are also parking spots and a meeting room. You can enjoy a game of tabletop football, play some billiards, or treat yourself to a drink at the snack bar on the roof terrace – we’ll throw in the magnifi cent view of Dresden for free.

Affordable, good quality stay

We were looking for a simple stay for our family with 2 adults and 2 small kids, and the family room at a&o is exactly what we needed. The staff is speaks English, is friendly and very helpful. The rooms are clean. We didn't have any food there, so can't comment on that.

Very acceptable

Reviewed By kuepper

Bagged a twin room with ensuite for myself. Very reasonable price with decent buffet breakfast included. If you haven't pre-booked any dinners you can buy a ticket for dinner (1700-2000) at reception for €5.85. Like breakfast dinner is self-service, the week's menu is displayed in the lift. A bit school dinnerish but edible. Because it's large there can be queues at reception.

Hostel Louise 20

Comfortable and convenient

Reviewed By Ian H

Great hostel in an excellent location close to the Neustadt and a 15-20 minute walk from the historical district. We stayed in one of the private rooms which are in a "flat" type arrangement with a shared bathroom in the block across the courtyard from the main hostel. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff at reception were friendly and helpful. There is a great/pub restaurant in the same complex and the hostel does a discounted breakfast there which is recommended.

It’s Affordable!

Reviewed By P44cka

We booked this at the last minute, and should have known from the onset, that when you receive an email warning you of the hotel, there was something to look out for. Car parking is very poor, on a pavement next to the duel carriageway, the rooms front the raid, and are not sound proofed, so very noisy. That said it was clean and the facilities adequate. Just a shame the advert could not have been clearer, as from the photograph, it looked palatial. Booking.com, done it again, stating full accommodation, when it was half empty, ‘shame on you’ let’s hope they go the way of other businesses that have been dishonest to the core customers with really unrealistic imaging and statements. Internet free but unreliable.

Friendly staff, ok beds, breakfast fine. Could have been nice with towels as standard in the room and no need of picking it up at the reception. Location is very good. Parking at the zoo is best as Jacobstrasse only offer maximum 3 hours parking. Parking at zoo is 6 euro for 12 hours.
