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.

First of all, the staff was GREAT!! They were very friendly and helpful. The hostel itself had a very nice, calm and positive vibe and a unique, vintage design inside and out. The room was spacious and clean, as well as the bathrooms and the toilets. The location was ideal, close to various affordable restaurants and bars and just 25 minutes enjoyable walking from the old town. Thank you for the hospitality, we will definitely visit it again!! P.S. The free dinner on Sunday nights (made by volunteers) is very nice!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.

    This was my first time staying in the hostel dormitory and I was worried about the allocation of beds, but the hostel had already arranged everything. The bed was soft, the pillows and duvet covers were very clean. The bathroom and toilet in the room were also very clean. All in all quite comfortable. The location is excellent, 5min walk from Hbf Dresden, very convenient for travelers.

    All according to middle-low budget standard hotel. Great location just next to train station. Sizeable restaurant to eat breakfast (no waiting); rooms are clean and whole facility seems to be relatively recently renovated

    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.
