Stayed in room T for 4 nights.||||I arrived early, but the room wasn't ready, so I left my bags at the hostel. The staff put the bags in the storeroom themselves and give you a receipt. ||||I'd already booked and paid online, so it was pretty straightforward to check in when I came back. The staff gave a lot of information about staying in the hostel and take you around showing you the facilities before taking you to your room. Kudos for being so professional.||||The hostel has two buildings and my room was in the annex which required a short walk outside. The room was a 5 bed dorm with two bunk beds and a single. I got the latter as the others were occupied. None of the beds came with individual electric sockets or private lights. Although there were enough sockets to go round and the roommates were all considerate about turning off the lights late at night. I counted 4 lockable wardrobes, although I was the only one who actually used them. Plenty of space to store even a very tall bag plus hangers for coats etc. The room also had a table with chairs. ||||The bed was warm and comfortable. The curtains were white, paper thin, didn't cover the entire window and basically let in too much light, although I managed to get a good night's sleep all four nights. But seriously, it can't be costly to get better curtains.||||The kitchens and bathrooms were all shared. The bathroom had two showers and two toilets, plus another bathroom with a shower on the same floor. All clean and functional. The only complaint about the toilets is that no soup is provided. Had to remember to take soup with me every time I went, so it was kind of annoying. The kitchen on my floor was a disgrace during the weekend. Guests using the kitchen, cooking and not washing their dishes and cooking utensils. Although the kitchen was clean after the weekend. I ended up just using the kitchen in the main building. Not really the hostels fault as they can't control inconsiderate kitchen users.||||Location wise the hostel is halfway between the old town and the trendy north part of Dresden. It's about 15 to 20 minutes walk to either. The tram hubs of Albertplatz or Dresden Neustadt are easy walking distance if you prefer not to walk. There's also lots of supermarkets or restaurants and cafes nearby, so the hostel feels very central.||||Overall, I had an excellent stay. Considering it's Germany, what you get is great considering the price. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout and I'd love to stay again the next time I'm in Dresden.
