Returning from a wonderful 5 days in Dresden, I know that a large part of the comfort and rest I felt was absolutely due to this hotel and it staff. I admit to having a (rather) long wish list and various needs which, for me, would contribute to the best stay possible. Hyperion Hotel Dresden matched every single point and exceeded my expectations.
The hotel does allow dogs – which is always a concern for someone like me who is highly intolerant of dog hair – but it also has allergy rooms and I stayed in one of those. I did not have a single irritation.
The room was exceptionally quiet, even with neighbours on both sides. It had plenty of storage, it was spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The pillows were a little soft but with four of them to play around with, you could create the perfect pillow combination!
The WiFi is the room was reliable and the room is equipped with a decent sized mini-refrigerator, coffee machine and a separate kettle. If I must mention one negative point, that would ne that I found the room very cold. However, the hotel provided me with an extra duvet and a standalone radiator so I don’t really mention this as a complaint as it was solved so easily. Also, I do generally find 90% of hotel rooms cold so my experience, on this occasion, could be a quirk particular to me.
The gym is in the basement and opens at 6.00 a.m. It does need some form of air conditioning as it is very warm in there. I must mention though that the hotel did provide a stand-alone fan which I used whilst working out and that ensured I did not feel overheated or that it was unpleasant to work out. Again, proof the hotel staff work hard to respond to the needs of their guests – any problem or request was always handled promptly and with friendliness and genuine care. I really appreciated this.
The location of the hotel is excellent. You are a few minutes’ walk from all the key attractions and the main shopping mall but without hearing any of the noise or feeling any of the stresses which come with a central location of any tourist-popular city. Indeed, each time I returned to the hotel, it felt like a quiet harbor of calm.
The staff at the hotel are absolutely wonderful. Kind, friendly and helpful, they could be role models to many in the hotel industry. I felt valued and cared for as a guest and without doubt, they are one of the reasons I will certainly return to Hyperion Dresden for my next visit. Indeed, if they and the hotel are representative of other hotels in the chain, then I shall certainly check my future locations to see if one of hotels under the brand is present in that city.

I loved my stay at this hotel! My room was huge. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom included a bathtub and a large separate shower. The all-glass elevator was fun and very fast. The lighting and outlets were plentiful. It had a large TV for those who like that. Everything was spotless. The staff was very helpful. There were restaurants and cafes all around. Perfect location! The air conditioning was wonderful as the days were pretty hot.
The location of the hotel was perfect. Right in the old city, right off the New Market (Neumarkt) and close to the Frauenkirche and restaurants.Parking was not an issue at all (we parked at the underground parking lot at the Hilton – Bruhlsche Gasse entrance). The entrance to the hotel is very inviting and the frontdesk staff very friendly and helpful. We loved the glass elevator.
Our room was spacious and clean and so was the bathroom. Mirrors galore. Bed was very comfortable. We had breakfast included, which had a wide selection of breads, cold cuts and all the other usual food items one can expect at an upscale restaurant. Some of the juices were quite interesting. One tasted like a mix of orange juice and carrot juice. A complimentary juice concoction was offered, but we couldn’t quite place it. Different styles of eggs were made to order.
The very comfortable sitting area on the ground floor (books, coffee maker etc.) provided access to a “passage” with upscale stores.
We enjoyed our stay immensely. The hotel is highly recommended.
Vienna House QF Dresden is really impressive hotel and surprised me a lot! I liked my spacy Magnus Room. Nice colors and design (modern), but the Dachbar is perfect – design is more boutique style. Breakfast is very good, but could be more different dishes a bit.
Bellini Lounge for 15 EUR is a good choice for people which doesn’t want to go out for a dinner.
In front of the hotel there is water and food for your pet. Also there’s a bicycle rental.
Location is perfect – in the center of Neumarkt.
I didn’t know that Vienna House got this kind of hotels! Nicely done.

Parking and a breakfast buffet are available for a surcharge. There’s also a Mediterranean restaurant. Other amenities include a bar, a business center, a fitness center and a sauna.
Hotel are clean,cozy and nice for one night stay. From hotel to city center are 25 min by walk. Nice that on other side of road are LIDL supermarket and McDonalds so you will not stay hungry:).
Located a little away from the old town but it is easy by tram to get around. Make sure you ask to buy a tram ticket and the best one for your use from reception. Quiet hotel, clean and comfortable. Rooms are a good size too.
I liked the outside style of the hotel, the lobby and the breakfast area. The service is quite nice at the restaurant, but a bit robotised at the reception but nevermind, this is not an issue.
In fact this hotel offers rooms at a good price (around 51€ without breakfast), but you certainly will have to add around 23€ per day for a taxi (price for going and returning) as the old town is quite far. Or if you like to walk during 50 minutes in an interesting area just to go, it’s up to your choice.
The first room that I had, overlooking the main street was large and the bathroom OK BUT I was not able to sleep during all the night because of the intensive traffic on the main street and to be honest the windows were not enough good to avoid this. The first night I had the impression that they were open ! But they were closed. So pay attention if you do not have a strong capacity to sleep in a noisy environment, you certainly will stay awakened.
The second day I came to reception to ask for a quiet room (as mentioned in my booking ! )not facing the 2 main streets and I was given another one overlooking the rear part of the hotel and it was really better. But, even when the two doors of the room are closed you hear other customers walking in the corridor. To sum up the sound proofing is a problem if your room is facing on of the 2 streets and just average even in the quiet part of the hotel.
Nevertheless I found the breakfast to be very complete featuring all the products that everyone need to start a good day (even smoked salmon, meats and potatoes specialty…).
The restaurant in which I have eaten the first night was of good quality, courses with good ingrédients and enough quantity, but the location is just in a small part of an ordinary bar where you can dine. Room service that I have ordered the next day was OK, nothing special to say, just an extra cost of 5€ to get the plates in the room.
I recommend NH Neustadt only if you can get a room on the rear part of the hotel and if you are aware that the location of the hotel requires a taxi to get to the old town.
This hotel had large, comfortable rooms. They were very clean. The breakfasts were the best that we had in Germany. The staff was very accommodating. There was not much to watch on TV that was in English.
The one negative was that it was beyond walking distance to the old part of town.
Good breakfast and helpful staff. This is not located in the center of Dresden, but I’m sure that’s part of the reason why it has reasonable rates. There are some fast food and some restaurants within walking distance if you don’t want to take public transportation into town. We had many plans throughout the day, so the location of the hotel really wasn’t a problem.
