There is no service. But it's self-explanatory. Everything is new and clean.

The rooms were very nice and large, the location was also good because it only took 15 minutes to walk to the nearest supermarket. However, the food in the hostel was very good, or I didn't like it. There was a very nice view from our room , the bathroom was also large and had a good shower. What annoyed us, however, was that we weren't allowed to listen to music after 8 p.m. because it was apparently too loud. All in all, it was a very relaxing stay

Mega positive impression! I would like to express my great gratitude to the owner of the hostel. Cleanliness: This is the cleanest hostel I have ever seen.Facilities: The rooms are equipped with new beds, original lamps, tables, chairs, curtains that do not let in the sunlight; Bed linen, pillows, towels are perfectly clean. The toilets and showers are equipped with new fittings and large mirrors. I would like to mention that even the quality of the tile installation amazed me, as I have experience in the construction industry myself. The interior design, the color of the walls and the color of the furniture are harmoniously coordinated, like in a good hotel.Shared kitchen: I would like to mention the kitchen, which can accommodate a large number of people. Three built-in electric stoves with ovens, three dishwashers, dishes from teaspoons to pots and pans, extractor hood, microwave and kettle.Kitchen: Breakfast, lunch and dinner can also be ordered in the dining room for a small fee, where all dishes are prepared in-house, even bread and rolls are baked in-house. Everyone gets their money's worth here: those who eat pork, those who eat beef, those who don't eat meat, those who are gluten-free, and so on. Mega.Parking: Not only cars but also buses can easily be accommodated on the hostel premises.Location: The hostel is five minutes from Dresden. There is also a Norma supermarket just ten minutes walk away.All in all: an incredibly cool hostel. All stars from me!

This hostel is definitely recommended. The prices were cheap there. The receptionist was friendly, helpful and understanding because I was a little late. The hostel is located in a beautiful, quiet suburb of Dresden. I will probably start a new chapter of my life in this area as soon as I get the opportunity for this project.

We came with a school group, the owner specially brought in a Polish-speaking employee from another hotel to make our stay easier.Everything was at a level much higher than the 1-star hotel rating suggests. Rooms neat and clean, helpful and nice staff, delicious food.I recommend it especially for trips going to Dresden who do not want to spend the night in the center.

Feedback Hostel at Windberg Dresden.Overall the hostel was okay. What I have to emphasize is the lady at the reception, she always had an open ear for the guests, among other things, she also posted directions on how best to get to the Rammstein concert in Dresden by bus and train, she is the good soul of the house. The rooms were all clean and tidy. There was also the opportunity to cook something in designated rooms in the corridors.What I have to say, however, is that to improve the mattresses need to be replaced, they are sagging. What's also not possible is that the hostel management has made such a mess of their employees that many guests have noticed, there is a strong lack of humanity and appreciation. Something like that is not appropriate. I personally noticed twice that the hostel management let the lady at the reception run wild, even though in my opinion she did a very good job. An appeal to management: That's not how you keep employees and it's no way to deal with them.I would therefore conditionally recommend it.

We stayed at this hostel for one night for a concert. We had a double room and were very satisfied. The room was very clean and modernly furnished. The bed was super soft and comfortable. The fridge was also an advantage. Checking in and out was super easy thanks to the key compartment. The hostel is in a quiet location and the bus/train can be reached in a few minutes.

If you come to visit the fairs and don't want crowds, this place is very good. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the train.The room was clean, the bathroom too. It's a pity that there is no hot water in the morning. But it was still a successful weekend.

It was our first time staying in a hostel. And really liked it. The rooms and bathroom were very clean. The towels soft and fresh. Beds comfortable. Shared kitchen is also great, everything is available including a TV.Unfortunately I was missing it in the room, but a book would do too. We recommend 👍
