Great location for site seeing and despite it being a popular area, the room was very quiet. It was also clean and comfortable. Breakfast got busy later in the morning but the selection was decent. Short walk to and from the train station. I would stay here again.

We only stayed for 1 day, but the location was close to the train station and local transport. Also, many restaurants were right next to the hotel. Good location!

The hotel was great and the staff friendly. The location was very convenient...5 minute walk from the train station and a 5 minute walk to the beautiful Old Town. Restaurants abound. The area felt safe.

A big hotel, clean and very helpful staff at the reception. The breakfast area is always busy, and it is rather small for the size of the hotel.

Nice hotel in good location
We had a short stay in Dresden and the hotel was very appropriate for it. The room would have been too small for a longer stay but it was fine for a short stay. Unfortunately, the hotel has no own parking and the places close by were very limited. The breakfast was great with the pancake maker as a highlight.

Perfect location close to the train station.
Hi. Perfect location close to the train station.
I had a great experience during my one-night stay at the Holiday Inn Express Dresden. The front desk staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, even storing my luggage for a few hours after check-out. Highly recommend!
