Reviews of Hofgarten 1824

11 February 2012 Annie would recommend this property

Liked: I had a 4 bed dorm to myself so I was literally paying hostel prices for a private room. The place was clean, warm and only a short and very scenic walk along the river to the Old Town. The free wifi, towels and shower gel was a nice touch. The staff helped me set up my internet and book a taxi to the train station.

Disliked: It was not a very social place and not very good for young people. The only other guests that were there were +40yo (maybe because it is the low season). I also had some trouble getting my 10 euro deposit back when I returned my key but if I had been able to speak German that wouldn't have been an issue so perhaps it is arrogant to consider that a dislike...

Liked: It's not a hostel, but a hotel with hostel rates. It's located in the Baroque district, just between the old city and the night area, so if you want to have peace and quiet in Dresden this is the place for you. It's clean, has free wifi in rooms and the staff is very friendly. It's 50m from the tram station (direct line to the main train station) and about 400m to the 2nd train station in the city.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: charming place, within walking distance of everything. Staff were very friendly and helpful with everything from internet access to luggage storage to train times. The rooms were fairly spacious and bath towels, hand towels, a tooth mug and even shower gel was provided - something I associate far more with hotels than hostels! All in all, a very positive experience and for very little money. I can't imagine staying anywhere else should I visit Dresden again.

Disliked: Caitlin left no negative feedback.

07 November 2011 Christopher would recommend this property

Liked: Gorgeous little hostel across from the old town! It feels like someone's private residence. I got bumped up to.a private single suite due to some problems in the dorm room, and it was like being in a nice hotel.

Disliked: None!

07 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Crisp, clean white sheets on the beds, lovely spacious rooms (I stayed in the 6 dorm) and a shower that stayed at the right temperature with excellent pressure. Towels also included which is always a bonus. The location is in Neustadt and very quiet at night. It only took me ten minutes to walk into the old part of Dresden.

Disliked: I had an allergic reaction to the soap but that's hardly the hotels fault!!!

07 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very spacious & clean dorm rooms, good shower, wifi works really well (including in the dorms), not too far from supermarket & public transport, really pleasant cute courtyard area.

Disliked: Breakfast was pretty expensive if u wanted it provided at the hostel. But this is fair enough because it really is basically a nice boutique hotel rather than hostel!

04 October 2011 Martina would recommend this property

15 September 2011 Dibyendu would recommend this property

Liked: Good quality services. Free internet. Quiet locale. Cleanliness ! More of a hotel than a hostel. Will stay here again.

Disliked: Hard to say, perhaps the breakfast was a bit too pricey. Neustadt station is a 7 min walk-on, so that has a few cheap options.

14 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The best value for money place i have ever stayed at. Bascially a high-class boutique hotel with some dorms (ensuite). Very spacious, very clean in a wonderful building. Great location - 5 minutes walk to the Elbe and the magnificent views of Dresden plus 5 minutes to the local Lidl store.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing. Just a wonderful place to stay.

Liked: really clean spacious rooms, great location paired friendly and helpful staff all around the clock. I'm going to return next time I'm in Dresden.

Disliked: nothing, in terms of accomodation I was as happy as one could have been

02 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This place was really nice for the money. It is practically a hotel in terms of decor and cleanliness, yet the prices are that of a hostel. A great choice for people travelling in large groups. The rooms are large and comfortable.

Disliked: I would have appreciated a common room and kitchen. There wasn't very many common areas for people to socialize and meet other people. Meeting other people is one thing I like about hostels, and this place had fewer opportunities.

02 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Clean, very close to trams and Dresden Neustadt station, quiet, free WiFi

Disliked: No atmosphere, no common room, far from the nightlife (a couple of tram rides away).
