Holiday Inn Express Dresden Zentrum Reviews

Good location and clean place, but we have a problem with light in the room

Every thing meets the standard of holiday inn group except for the super weak water pressure on the 10/F.

This is a very busy hotel, it must have very many rooms. But the location is perfect, right on Prager Straße, less than 10 minutes walk from Dresden Central train station, and less than 10 minutes walking to the historic city center, starting with the famous Kreutzkirche. The staff is very busy, but friendly. If you look for a convenient, price effective hotel in Dresden, this hotel is a good choice.

NOT RECOMMEND! AND VERY ANGRY!! We stayed 2 nights and booked a family room with kitchen in June 2024. There is an electric stove and range hood but no cooking pots and pans, bowls, plates, fork and spoons, nothing at all, totally empty!!!! We checked in at 2pm so asked reception why. They just said not allowed to cook with no explanation. If I knew the kitchen cannot be used, would I still book it? It is a false and misleading selling to me. Asked for speaking to the on duty manager, reception said manager not there. Wrote an email to manager no reply. Asked to borrow a bottle opener said don’t have. I wonder if the whole hotel building only have 1 bottle opener? Does it mean i have to come down to reception for every bottle? Then they borrowed one to me brought to our room. Next morning breakfast time I went search and spoke to the manager. He apologised and offered us buy new pots and pans but we rejected because we decided to dine out, we didn’t want to spend extra time and effort to deal with things like that. He should not asked us if we wanted to buy. He should go and buy straight away and prepare everything in the hotel room. Do you understand what hotel service is all about? Where is the professionalism? Manager offered us complimentary drink vouchers said we can have everything from the bar then turned out the bartender said we can only have beer, wine and soft drinks, no cocktails no liquor. It’s not about money, it’s about dignity. I’m very disappointed as a tourist visiting Dresden Germany. I trust good fame of GERMANY and HOLIDAY INN brand name. Isn’t this ridiculous? I am not a trouble maker but isn’t it a normal hotel practice to provide all necessities if you book a room with kitchen? It’s a common sense/understanding, right? It’s even worse than a airbnb apartment. This is absolutely a service and attitude problem. I didn’t get what I paid for. I didn’t even bother to ask for a refund. It’s not about money. It’s terrible service. If your family room with kitchen is not ready, don’t fool the customers.

I checked in around midnight, and the room had a very strong smell of smoke. Since it was late, I didn’t request a room change that night. However, I requested to change the room the next day, and it was fine. The internet, however, was very poor, making it difficult to get any work done.

Hotel was nice Right in the city center Close to train station. Breakfast was good

The staff is friendly and helpful. It took us some time to wait for the elevator during breakfast time and check out time. The location of the hotel is perfect.

Very nice place to stay. Highly recommended!

The hotel was ok. The location was good, the service was decent. The hotel is currently in refurbishment so there will be no water service since 10am, and you do the checkout at 11am. Something worth mentioning. Also there can be noise as per the refurbishment since 9am. The rest was good.

It was a great hotel. We liked the breakfast. There are construction works but didnt bother us

the hotel is under construction. The staff is helpful although most of them can't understand English

Air conditioner didn’t work 100% and such a good hotel as this one could use those small refrigerators in the rooms. Other than that, everything was absolutely perfect

Excellent

The room is not big, but the hot water is very strong and the shower is very comfortable. The facilities are new. I live on the third floor and I can't wait for the elevator, so I can only carry my big suitcase and walk down the stairs. The breakfast is very good. The location is also great. You can walk to several popular landmarks.
