LaLeLu Hostel Dresden is located in Dresden, 2 km from International Congress Center Dresden.

Some rooms include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. The rooms include a shared bathroom. LaLeLu Hostel Dresden features free WiFi .

I was surprised by this accommodation. What is important for me: - Late check in: Until 12 pm! - Curtains that don't let light in - perfect! - Elevator (when you come with luggage it is superimportant) What was a bonus: - Super kind and friendly staff. - The place it is not only super clean but it is decorated with love. You feel really welcomed and pumpered. I am really thankful for this feeling - Kitchen available. Cozy, super clean, all you need it is inside - Space: not only the rooms are super spacious but also the showers. Soooo much appreciated! - Cozy courtyard outside. Rooms do not see directly the busy street outside, so silence is granted. - Situation is great: Street with restaurants, tram, train station at 900 m. At the train station there is a Lidl and a Rossman that are opened on Sundays until late. The hostal is not in the old central part of Dresden but it is super well communicated. - Excellent price/quality ratio. - Very comfortable bed. Defintely this is one of those gems that you can find in Booking. I didn´t expect this. On this occassion I was only using it as a passing by on a bike route, but this will be defnitely my place to go when I go back to Dresden (which is always worth a visit).

The Hostel Lollis Homestay Dresden provides unique rooms, a fully equipped communal kitchen and free tea and coffee. If needed, linen can be rented at the hostel.

I stayed at Hostel Lollis Homestay Dresden 2 nights in a female dorm. The hostel is situated in the new town, which by foot is a bit more than 30 min walk (if you take your time ;)). The staff is amazing, super welcoming, and nice ! They gave me so many good advices to visit and tour the city. The dorm was clean, clean bed sheets are given to you upon arrival. What I really loved was the decoration of the hostel, it’s neighbourhood and all the walking tour tips (in the old and new town) the staff gave me. I really had the most amazing stay and will definitely be coming back !

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The room at the Hostel was very clean and the receptionist was kind and helpful. The common area clean, quiet with free tea and coffee 24/7. Almost every day there were some activity/dinner/games to do with all the guests. Considering that I was traveling alone, that was an occasion to meet new people and create community. I super recommend this hostel.

    Great location, great apartment with view on the Frauenkirche. Although it is right in de hart of Dresden, at night it was really quiet. Parking is great, cheaper than the public parking garage. The apartment had a lot of space and a great bath. I really enjoyed the stay. Did not use the breakfast possibility at 5start hotel, but I am sure this would have been nice as well. Dresden is a beautiful city and this place gives you the opportunity to fully enjoy it.

    The hotel is in a great location, situated halfway between the main train station and the historic centre. It was very quiet as we came just after all the Christmas markets had finished. The rooms were clean and comfortable with hairdryer, tea and coffee and a safety box.

    Fantastic atmosphere, really great for getting to know new people on your trip; fun and creatively arranged, a very artistic and laid-back place; free coffee and tea; located in a funky district. If I were to point to the perfect youth hostel, this would be it.
