big kitchen area, large refrigerator, adequate cooking supplies. large lounge area to socialize. bedrooms are large, plenty of space between bunk beds, a table with chairs in center. large windows with terrace doors. location ok, easy walk to transit. fun area, grocery stores close enough. Really great staff!! 👍🏻 Definitely recommend this hostel.

Not centrally located, but super convenient transit to get there, cheaper rate makes the transit worth the time, great staff & facilities make it worth the transit, but if you like walking it is only 20 minutes to walk there. 👍🏻😊

Been here before, twenty years ago. Then with my future wife, now with my kids. The place has changed little and is still wonderful. The visitors' kitchen is now downstairs (was on the first floor then) and that is more convenient. We had a good time and enjoyed ourselves a lot!

There was quite some noise from the street from pub-goers late at night. In the morning, we were woken at 7:00 by the loud chiming of the bell of the nearby church. The staff gave us earplugs (which was very kind) but replacing the insulation strips around the windows would be a better solution.

The hotel is spotless, surrounded by numerous shops and bars. Everything is fully equipped and located about 1.3 km from the station (walkable). Everything is fantastic—rooms, bathrooms, and toilets are cleaner than expected and very well-equipped. It would be even better if each bed had a curtain for more privacy. But overall, everything is absolutely great. I will definitely come back because why not? At this price, it’s truly a bargain.

The Wi-Fi is quite unstable. Sometimes, it doesn't load anything and only becomes normal again in the evening. Overall, it is just usable but not very strong. I think the hotel should check it.

I looked for a place to sleep at, and found a true cultural center because they have city tours, lots of booklets from theaters and museums, a small yet very cosy library, a lot of weekly activities and a bar. They have a lovely kitchen on the ground floor, where you can cook and store your food (equipment for signing your stuff is available). My bed was in a stylish room with a nice view. Their shower rooms are furnished with a great attention to the smallest details, I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of toilet rooms on the floor, mostly gender specific. Everything is cozy and has a great style. They present a cool sticker to each of their guests as a gift, I loved it. The hostel is located in a nice area: a 15 min. walk away from the Dresden-Neustadt railway station, lots of cafés and restaurants around, several supermarkets nearby. Several trams and buses to the Old City within walking distance (5-15 min.)

The receptionist really could provide information about how the 5€ deposit for locks works. I first had to bring my pretty heavy suitcase upstairs to the second floor to find out the locks aren't there, then go back downstairs (with my suitcase) to leave a deposit and pick up a lock, then go upstairs again. It's fine that you don't have a lift, yet in this case such important information should be provided at once. Everything else was great! The reception stuff provided me with a lot of helpful information.

You get hotel quality for hostel prices. That's what Mondpalast stands for. Most of the staff were welcoming and friendly. The evening shift Nottingham chap is legendary. Next time we'll come up with more riddles for the display board. Sorry though for dozing off on the couch after 3am. Guests can experience lively banter in the common area. I also heard that expat events are held there once a week, so lucky is the guest who's booked in on that day. The dorms are enormous, so plenty of space is readily available for everyone, and your kitchen area is spacious enough for guests to enjoy their lunch which they can gladly bring in from the countless eateries in the neighbourhood, plus Rewe is just down the road if anyone needs their groceries and a self-service launderette lies across the street.

The daytime receptionist at check out (Sonja/Selma ?) was a bit blunt, but still acted professional.

There is a lot of space, many toilets and showers. What I really liked is the little separate space in the showers where you can keep your belongings and they won't be wet. Free coffee, bar which looked cool (haven't had opportunity to try anything, but looked quite comfy and chill). If I'd have to stay in Dresden again, I'm definitely coming back to this hostel.

It's not the most convenient location, but everything else more than makes up for it

The location is really great; in the middle of the nice Neustadt area and not far from tramways. There is a nice kitchen and bar area on ground floor. Common bathroom and toilets in the corridor are really appreciated if you arrive or leave at night time and don't want to disturb the whole room. By the way the women showers were way better than the bathroom in the room. The room was equipped with big lockers and dark curtains.

The doors were very loud when closing; the bathroom in the room was super small (i only used the common girls bathroom in the corridor which were great and big).

The staff was friendly, and the room and the bathroom were clean. The neighbourhood is vibrant with many cafés, pubs and restaurants. I liked the bike storage shed. My friend I travelled with left his helmet in the shed, and someone took it, thinking it was the shared stuff belonging to the hostel's bike sharing. The employees assisted and sent the helmet back to him once it was returned. I highly appreciate the help and care.

This is an exceptional hostel that seems to have everything right. The personnel were all nice, easygoing and very friendly. The rooms had enough room and were comfortable for hanging out. The showers were clean and good. The whole hostel was impeccably clean and well maintained. First floor has a very cozy bar and kitchen area for hanging out. I was there in February and it was pretty lively, with cool people from all over the world. You can also rent bikes from them, regular single-gear and electric with 6 gears. I rented the latter one and it was good enough for a 60 km cycling trip to Saxon Switzerland National Park (you can come back by train with your bike). Kitchen was well equipped and had enough room too.

Great location in Neustadt, I walk everywhere so can't comment on public transport etc but it was for example walkable, even with a suitcase, from Dresden Neustadt train station. The walk into the historic centre was longer but flat and very pretty, across one of the bridges. I stayed in a single room with its own bathroom which was nice and clean. I appreciated shelves and table in the room, too, as well as a sink directly in the room (the bathroom was a separate little room with toilet and shower, all en suite).

Can't think of anything, I enjoyed it, and would certainly stay again.
