Dresden and the surrounding area of the city there is more three hundred hotels, hotels, apartments and hostels. Most of Dresden hotels are located just in the central part of the city. So to speak, in close proximity to the main attractions of Dresden. There are also hotels deleted from the center as well as on the outskirts. These are more quiet areas, more suitable for traveling on your car. Prices in these hotels are much cheaper, but at the same time spent more time on the road to the city center, as well as parking.
Since Dresden enjoys just the great popularity of tourists through its attractions, as well as due to the fact that most bus tours pass through Dresden, I recommend booking myself a room at the hotel in advance. It is most convenient and, as a rule, cheaper to use the Internet site with an online booking system. Booking.com. . And this is not an advertisement! The site is really convenient and clear to use, available at any time of the day, in any country in the world, has a convenient reservation system in case of anything. He himself enjoyed repeatedly.
In hotels, the so-called old city, I advise you to stop the tourists who do not have a large number of time. But at the same time they want to see everything and visit. This is actually a center of Dresden. As is known from the history of the Second World War, the old town was almost completely destroyed by bombardments. Restore it almost until the 80s-90s of the last century. In this regard, hotels in the center are located in the initial plans of buildings, have beautiful historical facades, which is a special charm of the old city. At the same time, the modern needs of the guests are taken into account: spacious rooms with panoramic windows and views of the attractions, the parking is required (often underground), wireless WiFi-Internet, modern furnishings in the rooms, in room safe. In addition to historical and cultural attractions, there are many shopping and various shopping centers in the center of Dresden, under the side of public transport and the subway. And at the same time, prices for accommodation in the hotels of the Old Town, though large, but they cannot be called them.
For those who travel himself, but not a car (ie by public transport), the area of the Central Railway Station Dresden will be more suitable. There will also be convenient for those who, in addition to Dresden plans to visit the surroundings of this city (and local trains are just suitable for this). Well, again, to the attractions of the old city from here quite close to even on foot (20-25 minutes). The same shopping is near, because many Dresden stores are on the way from the railway station to the Old Town. This area is very suitable for those traveling with a limited budget: in comparison with the prices of hotels in the center of Dresden, accommodation in hotels of this area is significantly lower. In addition to the remoteness from the center, this is also connected with noise and crowded area of the station.
For young people, I would probably stop in Neustadt. It also is also called a new city. This area is on the other side of the Old Town, through the Elbe. Tourists here really less than in the center, this is such a modern district. The shopping in the center is not necessary - there are many stores here (though the range is relaxing). Restaurants are also in sufficient quantity. Neustadt has its own railway station. From the bus stop of the new city can easily be reached by Moritzburg Castle. And at night, in this area, local youth begins to "light up". It is here that Dresden's nightlife occurs. In Neustadt, there are really many nightclubs.
Hotel feature Dresden is that parking for cars and the Internet in hotels is usually paid and not included in the price. And the cost of their rather big: both parking and the Internet can do you from 10 to 20 euros per day. A large surprise for accommodation in Germany's hotels is that the administration most often "blocks" on your card a certain amount as a collateral in case you are left without paying the minibar. The amount becomes available only after some time automatically. As a rule, this is a very indispensable amount of 40-50 euros per each day of your stay at the hotel. Therefore, there should be enough money on the bank card so that there are no problems later.
Yet. German staff in hotels is not in a hurry to learn even English. Not to mention Russian. Therefore, if you do not speak at least a German language, be prepared to express on your fingers.
With regard to nutrition. The main mass of Dresden hotels (as in the whole of Europe) offers food through the explosive system (breakfast only). You can choose other foods in hotels, including to negotiate. But personally, I recommend dinner and especially dinner in the numerous and colorful restaurants of Dresden. Enjoy local cuisine - very tasty. And German beer in advertising does not need.
Pleasant rest!
