“Weekend in Dresden”

I was pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a suite during my weekend stay. The hotel is in a good location but a little bit inconvenient to public transportation. You have to walk a little bit but at least you have a lot of options. The check in staff was very friendly and welcoming. The elevators are located directly across from the check in desks so they can see who is coming and going. The suite was so spacious. There was a separate seating area with a TV and a separate TV in front of the bed. Two TVs! The desk was perfect for getting some work done prior to starting my weekend. The bathroom had a separate bathtub and shower and bath salts were provided at the bathtub. It was mostly straightforward to connect my phone to stream to the TV. One hiccup was when I would aim the remote at one TV, it would affect the other TV, like turn it on or off unexpectedly. I received a welcome gift of a small bottle of mulled wine and a small chocolate, which was quite kind. The bar downstairs was bumping in the evenings and the bartender was helpful with my beer questions. I had an overall nice stay at this hotel and would recommend staying here for your Dresden adventure.

“What a treat!”

My sister and I stayed at the Indigo for 4 days and I wish it had been longer. It is cozy, charming, friendly, organized and welcoming. We LOVED every minute.

My sister and I stayed at the Indigo for 4 days and I wish it had been longer. It is cozy, charming, friendly, organized and welcoming. We LOVED every minute. The folks at the front desk are so lovely and helpful. When we checked in early morning, we had expected to store our luggage and come back at check-in time. They put us in a nicer room that happened to be available. The room was an A+++...couch and seating area, lots of storage, huge bathroom, comfortable beds, a desk, floor-to-celing windows, nightstands and two small tables, 2 flat screen TVS (one over the desk and one facing the beds) plus a small bench and mirror by the closets. We also received apple wine and chocolate as a welcome gift. Breakfast was bliss and they get points for an early start (6:30/M-F; 7:00/weekends). We also sat in the lobby for drinks one night and it was so relaxing. Honestly, if I could snap my fingers and be there right now, I would. The whole vibe is funky, cool, down-to-earth and trendy. The location is awesome. Convenient, quiet, accessible.

“Pleasant hotel for short city breaks”

We stayed at Hotel Indigo in Dresden for 3 nights during our trip to Germany. The hotel is located around 10 minutes walking distance from Dresden’s old town; close the S-Bahn station Dresden Mitte. Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly reception staff and quickly checked into our room, which was located on the third floor. Since we arrived at around 9pm the front desk lady recommended a little stroll throughout Dresden’s City center during twilight, something that was not on our initial agenda for the evening but which we really enjoyed doing. Our room was located on the third floor and featured modern interior. Whilst the room was nicely appointed and clean it was certainly lacking in size, particularly since we travelled with 2 suitcases (10-day Germany trip). Having said this, this should not be a major drawback for people staying on a short city break. As we booked our stay without breakfast, we were also happy to find a bakery next door which was our daily go to for a bite to eat and a coffee in the morning. During the last day of our stay, we also hired a car to explore the Sächsische Schweiz – we were pleased to find that parking was no issue in the streets around the hotel (EUR 6 for 24h) with plenty of parking spots available. Additionally, it is also worth nothing that the hotel features also a secure underground car park. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would certainly recommend this property for short city breaks.

“Avoid”

This is a typical soulless chain hotel that looks good on paper but simply does not master any of the details the way a fine hotel would.

This is a typical soulless chain hotel that looks good on paper but simply does not master any of the details the way a fine hotel would. The rooms and lobby look good from a distance but everything is built to a budget and a fairly modest one at that. Most notably, our bed had cheap, scratchy linens and a sub-standard mattress. The breakfast was also truly awful - a bunch of mass-produced baked and other goods that overall was easily the worst he had on our trip. Finally, the hotel is located outside of the city center, which may be appealing if one has a car but also means that it is a bit far from the tourist areas. I will note that the staff were pleasant and were moderately helpful. Overall, given the issues noted above, I would recommend that people look elsewhere for a hotel in Dresden.
