Steigenberger Hotel de Saxe

Zentraler geht es fast nicht mehr- es ist alles in Sicht- oder Fussmarschnähe (Frauenkirche, Elbe, Semperoper). Zimmer komfortabel und sehr sauber- Personal sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, ohne übertrieben beflissen zu sein- sehr angenehm! Sehr harmonische, freundliche und ruhige Atmosphäre.

Wir haben in der Adventszeit 5 wundervolle Tage in Dresden verbracht. Das Steigenberger liegt ideal, gleich neben der Frauenkirche und in unmittelbarer Nähe von 4 Weihnachtsmärkten. Das Personal ist äusserst freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Ambiente gepflegt, das Essen im Restaurant vorzüglich, ebenso das reichhaltige Frühstücksbuffet. Der Zimmerservice war speditiv und perfekt.

Sehr gut, ruhige Lage, sehr nettes Pesonal, Auswahl beim Frühstück hervoragend

The Steinberger is centrally located in the middle of the square that is at that center of the tourist area of the City. The restaurant is phenomenal, the staff is friendly and helpful. Great hotel.

the staff are pleasant and helpfull, but insist on speaking German when they know that you are English and possibly dont understand the German language

The "Saxe", as they called it, was perfectly located, in the old section and lovely in old world architecture and modern art. Walking around the platz was always rewarding since many gather out front of the Martin Luther statue and dine at the many cafes and restaurants that have sprung up nearby. Walking to the castle (for the Green Vault) or the Zwinger (for the magnificent porcelain collection or the Old Masters Museum) or in the opposite direction for the newly re-opened Neue Masters' museum is so easy. Also, Opera House tickets were easy to obtain for same-day performances and very reasonable. Reception was fine, but sometimes hurried. Two computers are placed uncomfortably in the lobby and all instructions are in Deutsch (regardless of indicating English) and cost by the minute (this may be a difference observed because we had stayed in a more business-style hotel in Berlin where they had a separate Business Ctr and computer use was free.) Breakfast bar was very good, but not as vast as some. Room reserved through [...] was clean, well decorated, but very small and an interior/no-view location. All-in-all a 4.75/5.0 rating.

Very desirable location within easy walking distance of principal sights. Quiet, clean, very pleasant staff. Excellent breakfast -- try to snag a seat on the balcony. Restaurant/cafe out in front on the square was delightful, good views, good food, very agreeable staff. I would certainly recommend it and stay there again

5-star hotel, excellent location on main square, helpful staff, wonderful quiet, restful room. Did not try restaurants, bargain at $100/night, May 2010

We visited as tourists, stayed 3 nights. It was October, but very cold (snow/sleet). The hotel room was wonderfully comfortable, clean and spacious. The hotel is superbly located for tourists, we had a fabulous view of the Frauenkirchen and other rebuilt buildings. Close to excellent transporation as well. One comment: the housemaid needed training! She walked right into our room around 9 a.m. without a knock, when neither of us were dressed. Restaurant looked great, but we felt too casually dressed to go there for dinner (in our travel clothes). Breakfasts were wonderful.

We were visiting Dresden for the Xmas market and Musea: everything is within a walking distance, even the railway station (20 min.)
