Surrounded by colourful cafés and pubs, this brightly designed hostel is located in Dresden's Neustadt district. It offers individually furnished rooms and free WiFi internet.

The Hostel Lollis Homestay Dresden provides unique rooms, a fully equipped communal kitchen and free tea and coffee. If needed, linen can be rented at the hostel.

As soon as my friend and I arrived we were greeted by a very friendly staff and allowed to store our things in a locked compartment before the official check-in time. The 6-person female-only room we stayed in was wonderfully decorated with magazine covers, white drapes, and even had stuffed animals on the beds. We were given sheets to make our beds with and a large towel for showering (included in the price of the stay). The mattress was thin but still very comfortable and there were curtains for privacy. I was happily surprised that I could rent a lock for a 5 euro deposit instead of having to buy one! The lockers were very conveniently located too - right in the bedroom! My favorite part of the hostel was definitely the living area downstairs where guests gathered to eat meals and chat. I used the upper loft area to talk on the phone with my family and friends.

This friendly and comfortable hostel is in the middle of the pub district of Dresden-Neustadt, not far from the historical city centre. Free WiFi is available in public areas.

This area is also the cultural centre of Dresden, and the hostel is situated right above the popular pub, Planwirtschaft.

The location was amazing, right in the heart of Neustadt Hippi Corner, surrounded by bustling restaurants, cafes, and bars. The double bedroom with a shared bathroom was super clean and quiet. The car park, at 8 euros a day, was reasonable compared to street parking. The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended to family stays as well!

Also, when I had issues with first entry to the room the owner/caretaker was very friendly and helpful.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, great apartment with view on the Frauenkirche. Although it is right in de hart of Dresden, at night it was really quiet. Parking is great, cheaper than the public parking garage. The apartment had a lot of space and a great bath. I really enjoyed the stay. Did not use the breakfast possibility at 5start hotel, but I am sure this would have been nice as well. Dresden is a beautiful city and this place gives you the opportunity to fully enjoy it.

    The hotel is in a great location, situated halfway between the main train station and the historic centre. It was very quiet as we came just after all the Christmas markets had finished. The rooms were clean and comfortable with hairdryer, tea and coffee and a safety box.

    This was my first time staying in the hostel dormitory and I was worried about the allocation of beds, but the hostel had already arranged everything. The bed was soft, the pillows and duvet covers were very clean. The bathroom and toilet in the room were also very clean. All in all quite comfortable. The location is excellent, 5min walk from Hbf Dresden, very convenient for travelers.

    Fantastic atmosphere, really great for getting to know new people on your trip; fun and creatively arranged, a very artistic and laid-back place; free coffee and tea; located in a funky district. If I were to point to the perfect youth hostel, this would be it.
