Not Recommended!!!
I stayed at a twin room at A&O Hotel Dresden Hauptbahnhof, and while the price was low, so was the overall experience.
The room is extremely small — around 10 square meters, which may be fine for one person, but definitely too cramped for two. I felt like I was in a budget hotel in Hong Kong, not in Eastern Germany. If this were A&O Hotel Hong Kong, I wouldn’t even complain — but this is Dresden, and space shouldn’t be an issue.
The worst part, however, was the cleanliness. I found a used dental floss on the floor, clearly left by the previous guest. It was so disgusting I couldn’t even bring myself to take a photo. On top of that, the walls were covered with various marks and stains of unknown origin, which made the room feel even less hygienic. Thankfully, I only noticed the floss on the last night.
Another unpleasant surprise: although I was traveling alone, I was told I had to pay city tax for two people, simply because I booked a twin room. In Italy and Spain, similar hotels never charged me double in such cases. After spending 30 minutes at check-in trying to clarify, I gave up and paid the extra tax, just wanting to lie down and rest.
Then I discovered that my room was right next to the elevator — a terrible location. I heard people going in and out until 3 AM. When I asked to switch rooms, the answer was simply: “No.”
I had booked 4 nights, non-refundable, so I stayed. By the last day, I wasn’t even angry anymore — just numb. Unless you truly have no other options, I would not recommend staying at A&O Dresden.
真心别住这家,非要我现场一个人付两人四晚的城市税,后面吵了半天同意了,后面欺负人安排电梯房,找丫说没房间了还不给换房间,我住了四晚渡劫了算是。
