Good Hotel in a nice Place, close to the City Centre.
We, 2 senior couples, came with much luggage. No help was offered. NO luggage carts were available. NO coffee in the rooms. To get a morning coffee was Euro 6.00 for a small cup. We found this 'gauging'. For the room price we think a morning cup of coffee/tea should be provided free of charge.
The hotel was absolutely perfect! The staff were kind, efficient and helpful and the property itself was very well maintained. In fact, I didn't want to leave. The location is amazing. Truly a wonderful and perfect experience all around and I highly recommend Motel One.
Because of our dog, you demanded that we should sit outside among the smokers to eat our breakfast. And it was raining that morning. This stupid rule of yours means we will never return.
It was an excellent stay, very comfortable and very welcome I felt.
War alles super 🙂. Tolle Lage
The property is ideally situated with convenient access to local cultural landmarks, and guests can anticipate exemplary service within these sophisticated surroundings. However, despite having one duvet and one towel for two adults, after showering in the stall, the floor in the toilet room becomes completely wet, requiring us to wipe it with the bath mat every time we bathe. Since we only had one bath mat, the bathroom floor outside the shower stall would become flooded by the next shower. We suggest addressing the water accumulation issue that occurs after using the shower, as improving drainage efficiency would substantially enhance guest comfort. We appreciate the opportunity to provide this feedback to ensure a consistently high-quality experience.
Great check-in great location great people working there.
Wonderful and attentive service by friendly staff at reception desk. Very quiet and enjoyable. Great room on 6th floor overseeing square. All well done.
This hotel is simply top. Cheap, clean rooms, parking, nice lobby and bar, fifty kinds of Gin!
Check in was not good… booking had been done by an agent but the reservation number allocated to us had been already taken according to your computer. We were told that we had no room. After our agent was phoned it was resolved. NO apologies offered. I know mistakes happen but saying sorry fixes a lot. Also room was Very small!
Great location for sightseeing and very welcoming staff
Excellent stay!! Very satisfied with the hotel and its facilities I will be back when in Dresden Thank you very much.
Motel One in Dresden Zwinger is another top Motel One. Nice lounge and bar area along with great employees. You can’t beat the location.
Great atmosphere, location, staff. The room felt a bit basic. No amenities, water, tea or kettle.
Your hotel desing is really nice and incredible Frankly speaking, check-in and check-out procedures are really too long time consuming
Tolles Hotel, toller Service
The hotel is very clean, which is why I always choose it. It’s quiet, modern, and clean, and the staff were very friendly
Value for money as I was expecting.
Modern hotel close by center of Dresden. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Service was great! Kilian helped us made our stay very comfortable. Would stay here again. Only missed a coffee/thee maker in room.
It is a very well located hotel with kind and helpful staff. We really enjoyed our visit.
Really liked our experience at the Hotel. Everything was super. Maybe they could have food would be my suggestion
Very well placed hotel with clean, but very small, rooms
Gutes Hotel in Top Lage
The hotel was ok, but the unjustifiable fact that we had no internet and no television for two (!!!) days was extremely disappointing.
- WIFI and TV cannot use. -
Check in and check out process was fast and without any issues. Room was quiet and clean. Breakfast excellent as always in Motel One hotels
Very central location, breakfast can be busy, only thing missing is the bodylotion in the bathroom
TOP Lage, TOP Personal
I had a very pleasant stay at Motel One Dresden-Palaisplatz. The environment is friendly and welcoming, and the staff speaks English, which made communication easy throughout my visit. The hotel is calm, comfortable, and very clean. The breakfast was good with a nice variety, and the location is also convenient with a fair price. Offering the option of two separate single beds in double rooms would be a helpful improvement, as this would better suit different types of travelers. At check-in, I was not informed about the city map that was available and only noticed it at check-out. It would have been helpful to receive this information upon arrival. Overall, still a very good experience and I would consider staying here again.
Good location, most of interesting museums near by.
Everything was ok.
There was a hair stuck at one of the pillow, and another in one of the bathroom towels. Curtains look old and dirty. Reception forgot to give me my water and I had to request for it the next day. One of your staff knocked very loudly on my door on check-out day, and walked away when I opened my door. I opened my door again and see her around and ask her why she knocked on my door and she said she cannot understand English. I assumed she was asking about my check-out so I said 12pm since it was listed as 12pm on Google. She knocked at 9am, 3 hours before check-out. Do you need to disturb customers 3hours before check-out?
I had booked parking and only when I arrived was I informed that the parking was full. Giving a bottle of water at the reception is rediculous. Should be a daily complimentary service in the room - this is not a low cost. Breakfast area where the food is should be redisigned can get really croudy. Very small room and what is meant by "with view" is really subjective, as my view was not a nice view.
Good value....room size adequate for a single traveller. Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff
Very nice hotel atmosphere with clean, yet tiny rooms/ bathrooms. Very welcoming staff and friendly bar atmosphere inviting for relaxing.
Sightseeing
We stood 01.-03-05.26 in Room 033. The room was very annoying. Climate control not yet working, despite asking for it at reception. Opening the window was de-facto impossible, as the smoke and discussion noice of all these smokers direct in front of the room went straight into the room. The smell of the smoke was really frustrating and created a bad feeling about the hotel and especially the stay in room direct located near-by the smoking area.
In general, everything is fine and I regularly visit the hotel. There was just one issue: the different weather conditions in times of climate change. If you ask your visitors to keep the windows closed (to keep out insects), you HAVE TO enable the air condition depending on the weather, not on calendar dates. A number of room windows, such as mine, are exposed almost plainly to the South, and this weekend, there was full sunshine with temperatures up to 28 °C. Given the small size of the rooms, they heat up pretty quickly. There needs to be a way to cool them down, even before the end of May. Apart from that, everything was fine, as usual. Thanks go out to the staff working there.
The hotel is beautifully situated in the heart of Dresden. The room was wonderfully appointed. The design is great, using every possible space in a room wisely. It would be good to have body lotion available. It's a simple plus that completes the shower experience. Also a big note of thanks to Felix who provided such useful tips to the city, everything from museums to restaurants. He's knowledgeable and enthusiastic and picked up quickly on our interests.
Room, even if not so large, are good. Breakfast limited and breakfast location not good
Nice staff, good rooms :-) Kind regards to Lisa at the Bar, she has been great!
Everything was perfect!
This dog room 302 seemed a little smaller than the last one. Very little room to Move.. but great service , good bar tender and breakfast ladies. Happy with parking and everything in general.
Great hotel, welcoming staff, super location.
Already asked and called several times to receive an invoice. Promised ever time to send out, nothing happens. Terrible front desk service
super
Been always a pleasure to stay in your hotel especially Palaisplatz in Dresden Neustadt. Workers are nice. Would be nice to have buffet there in the evening with live music!! If you ever want to try, I’m a Cook and Professional Singer too and can entertain your people. Just give me a try.The location is very cool and can attract thousands of people!.

Motel one was situated near the train station so took minutes to locate. The room was spotless however it didn't offer tea/coffee facilities but I didn't ask reception if they supplied a kettle
- the room was over all very nice and clean, though there were some spots with dust (dust-threads on the ceiling, some corners). - the breakfast was good, all standard things were there, nothing extraordinary (I'm personally a fan of warm breakfast, but I understand, that this is potentially logistically challenging) - I had two sets of towels in the bath, even though I only needed one set as I booked single. This could be improved for sustainability, if the service staff knows which rooms are booked single or double. - On the topic of sustainability, I liked the option to foregoe room service. I also like the (now standard) notices about optionally not changing the towels everyday. I did not experience whether you actually follow those (most other hotels I have seen those notices at, sadly did not). - I liked the fireplace on the TV when I came into the room, it made it quite cozy. - If it is not a fire hazard issue, decoration in the staircase (paintings or similar) could invite more people to take the stairs instead of the elevator.

What can you expect at the Motel One hotels in Dresden?
Did you know that Dresden has been known as the ‘Florence of the Elbe’ since the early 19th century? You can experience for yourself why this name still fits today at Motel One’s design hotels in Dresden. Here, the design, materials and atmosphere draw on the influences of this Baroque city to create a home away from home – with cosy box-spring beds, stylish lounge furniture and warm, friendly service.
The Saxon capital is home to numerous Baroque and Mediterranean-inspired treasures. Its appreciation for art and culture also evokes its Tuscan inspiration. Following the severe destruction of the Second World War, much of its architectural heritage was restored. Today, Dresden combines historic charm with the vibrancy of a modern, lively city.
Fancy a trip to the ‘Florence of the Elbe’?


Which Motel One hotel in Dresden is right for your trip?
In Dresden, the choice is pleasantly straightforward: you’re essentially choosing between the Baroque Old Town and the Neustadt side. Motel One Dresden am Zwinger is the ideal choice if your itinerary includes the Zwinger, the Semper Opera House, the Royal Palace, the Frauenkirche, Brühl’s Terrace and plenty of museum visits all within a short space of time. For a first visit to Dresden, this location is particularly convenient because many of the city’s classic sights are close together, and you can head straight into the Old Town as soon as you’ve checked in.
Motel One Dresden-Palaisplatz is the better choice if you want to combine the Inner Neustadt, the Japanese Palace, the banks of the Elbe, Dresden-Neustadt railway station and a slightly different perspective on the city. This location is ideal if your evening plans lean more towards the Neustadt or if you want to combine the Old Town and the Elbe at a more leisurely pace. For day trips, such as to Saxon Switzerland, the most important factor is having the right rail and local public transport connections.
Business travellers should choose based on which side of the Elbe they’re on and the location of their appointments. Motel One Dresden am Zwinger is a sensible choice for appointments in the Old Town, cultural institutions, government offices or the city centre. Motel One Dresden-Palaisplatz is ideal for Neustadt, Dresden-Neustadt railway station and destinations north of the Elbe. For short stays, it helps to ask yourself this simple question: will your first stop be in the Old Town or in Neustadt?
How do you explore Dresden from the Motel One hotels?
Dresden has a wealth of sights in store for you. Among the city’s highlights are, for example,
- the Semper Opera House;
- the Zwinger, which today houses the famous Sistine Madonna;
- the Royal Palace;
- Brühl’s Terrace;
- the magnificent Japanese Palace on Palaisplatz in the Inner Neustadt; and
- of course the Frauenkirche, Dresden’s rebuilt landmark.
Most of the sights in this small selection are located within a compact area in the city centre, which you can easily explore on foot from our hotels. After your sightseeing tour, the cafés and events in the city’s trendy neighbourhoods beckon. You can even experience your own ‘blue surprise’ – or rather, THE ‘Blue Wonder’ – during a short break at our affordable Dresden hotels. That’s the name given to the bridge over the Elbe that connects the districts of Blasewitz and Loschwitz. Speaking of the Elbe bridge: despite its romantic name, the Waldschlößchen Bridge cost the Dresden Elbe Valley its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Yet even without the World Heritage title, this cultural landscape with its characteristic Elbe meadows remains extremely picturesque. If you’re drawn even more to the countryside, you can quickly reach Saxon Switzerland in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains from your hotel in Dresden. Its bizarre rock formations are ideal for exploring on a day trip, for example to the famous Bastei Bridge. So is it any surprise that Dresden is a very popular destination for a short break or a weekend getaway? And that’s true at any time of year. Even in winter, this Baroque city enchants its visitors. That’s when the famous Dresden Christstollen are on sale at the Striezelmarkt, one of the oldest Christmas markets in the world.
Dresden is undoubtedly a city that everyone should see and experience. If you’re looking for an affordable hotel in Dresden, the Motel One design hotels are just the place for you. Book a room and stroll through the streets of the ‘Florence of the Elbe’. Here’s an overview of our hotels in Dresden.
