Hostel Mondpalast

Cozy common hall with nice kitchen. Clean bathrooms. Very helpful staffs. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops around with different cuisines. Close to tram stations. Each bed has individual lighting and charging port.

Location is a bit far from old town (25 mins walk).

The neighbourhood is really interesting; a lot of cool street art, South Asian restaurants, a more alternative vibe than the rest of Dresden. The hostel itself doubles as a bar, but I didn't try that part out. The common area and shared kitchen is pleasant though. The rooms all have different themes which is a nice touch. They were very spacious and my one had a balcony as well. The price is very reasonable. The staff in particular were great. Very friendly during check-in, and I left my jacket behind and they were kind enough to send it forward to me.

The neighbourhood it's in is a little far from the Altstadt (35 minutes walk), but there's plenty of public transport so it's not a problem. It's obviously a very old building and very creaky; floors, doors, lockers all very loud. They do appear to be working on that however.

Staff was very friendly. The kitchen was amazing! Clean and cozy like a coffee room. Programme for hostel guests was pretty good! They have a bar downstairs where sometimes you can be at the concert or another event. Amazing!

The penalty for the key loss was high (5€). Additional price for the bed sheet (2.5 €).

The location, kitchen and bar area. Claudia is super cute!

Working in bathrooms during my stay.

A really clean, I would even say fancy hostel with a lot of showers! The amount of toilets of also enough. Everything is really well-organised, the kitchen is really cosy. It's possible to order a breakfast, coffee and tee are free (but not goo, and it's the only thing I did not like about this hostel). Location is perfect. It will cost you a pleasant walk to reach the old city with all the sightseeings, you can take a tram as well if you don't like walking. A lot of cafes are nearby. REWE supermarket is not far from the place as well. Highly recommended.
