Hotel Bayerischer Hof Dresden

My wife and I just spent 4 wonderful nights at Hotel Bayerische Hof Dresden. Our room and the hotel in general were very well appointed and comfortable. The hotel was meticulously clean and neat throughout. The buffet breakfast was excellent and last, but by no means least, the staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful and supportive of our Australian tongues coping with the German language. In particular, the staff hosting the reception desk and the breakfast service are a credit to the brand. Happy staff equals happy guests 😀.

When I travel, I like to stay in a local hotel rather than an USA chain. This reinforces the experience of visiting another country. This is a perfect hotel for us. It is very German and old and totally amazing. The breakfast is one of the finest we had on our trip. I upgraded to a suite of sorts. It ended up with a large bedroom, plus a large sitting room and an incredibly big area connecting them that could be another sitting room. The location was great for us. It is right across the street from the 'New Town' Dresden-Neustadt train station - be sure to get off here and not the main train station. Cross two roads and you will be at the hotel. You will not be downtown, where all the action is. That is preferred because that can be noisy and crowded. This is a 10 minute ride on their clean and efficient light rail cars. Wait a few minutes for the car just a short distance down the street Robert-Blum-Strasse from this hotel. We purchased two all day passes from the machine. Hop on the direction going away from the hotel and get off after crossing the bridge. Apple Maps had clear directions and I expect Google does too. There are tons of restaurants nearby - but reservations are pretty much a requirement. If you are arriving that day, pick a place a day or two before your arrival and make reservations. This building, being ancient, does not have air conditioning. If you are here in the summer, ask for a room facing away from the train yard. We will go back, but perhaps not in the summer.

Lovely hotel. Classic interior design, very well placed next to Dresden Neustad. Staff are friendly and helpful.
