Quality Hotel, Star Inn Premium Dresden

Perfect location overlooking the square. My only criticism would be that there is no airconditioning as we know it - only the ability to adjust to plus or minus 3 degrees Celsius (which made no sense.) But this was not a problem and the staff could not have been more helpful.

Perfect situation. Lots of bars and restaurants near the hotel. Right in the centre but an easy walk from station. Near a main shopping area. Everything small but comfortable. Soundproof windows. No noise from neighbouring rooms. Quite good value for money in general. Nice large tv screen. Free bottle of water. Mini bar to keep drinks in. Great to be offered a kettle and coffee machine.

It's more like a series of rooms in a building than a hotel. The receptionists on the first day were unhelpful. I'd like to think they were too busy, but they came across as being positively rude. The room was very small and looked onto an ugly courtyard. Again, I'd like to think it was the only room available and not one set aside for solo travellers, as they charge the same regardless. The room was too hot, it was over 30 degrees outside, and though people were complaining, the answer was that the air conditioning was on high. Not all the tv channels advertised were available, for example BBC World. Housekeeping needs improving a bit.
