The hostel was amazing! The beds were comfy, and the curtains provided some privacy. The lockers were spacious and accommodated my two big backpacks. There was also a well-equipped kitchen with complimentary coffee and tea. The staff, including the receptionist and the volunteers, were helpful and kind. The volunteers organized events that brought the guests together. Additionally, the hostel provided guests with small brochures about the city and the nearby nature reserve, and you could rent bikes from the hostel. I really appreciated the informative message I received before coming to Dresden, which included details about the train station to get off at and the hostel's amenities. Thank you for this relaxing and wonderful experience!

In the end of May, 2025-the unexpected cold early summer days-I had a warm stay because of the reception of the host: a hospitable and humorous local man. Maybe because of my thin shape, the host especially worried about me (it is said that I was the first Taiwanese guest) and offered me with thick quilt and hot water bottle-eventually even let me “upgrade” from the big dorm room to the smaller studio room.

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 budget hostel. Even the coffee is free. The rooms are large, the beds are comfortable, they don’t creak, nothing bothers you.

    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.
