2014 has been another exciting year for Lollis Homestay. We made lots of new friends, had exquisite hostel dinners and (on some nights) partied with our guests all night long. :)<\/p>\n
But before the recap for this year starts, we want to thank all of our wonderful guests, who have enriched us with their presence for the past year. Our team works hard to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for you guys. However without you, we wouldn’t be where we’re at today.<\/p>\n
So this was 2014 for us\u2026<\/p>\n

\nBecause of a busy summer 2013 we had to make a few rennovations. We were also proud to be able to present a new room called Orientalsaal<\/em> (\u201cOrientroom\u201c).<\/p>\n
\nA great talent from Russia visited Lollis Homestay. Guests and employees got an oil painting of themselves for free!! We thank Gayane D. for making us and our guests such lovely presents.<\/p>\n
\nEvery Wednesday and Sunday evening \u201cChef Bj\u00f6rn\u201c cooks a free veggie dinner for our guests. From \u201cChilli sin carne\u201c to \u201ctraditional German cuisine newly interpreted\u201c \u2013 this is Haute Cuisine<\/em>! But for all that (!) Bj\u00f6rn sometimes needed a little helper called Pranav. On top of that Pranav always took care of guests when it came to going out and enjoying Dresdens nightlife. We wish Pranav the best of luck with his studies over in gold old Berlin. ;)<\/p>\n
\nLollis Homestay celebrated its 13-year-anniversary. Before the Hostel moved into the centre of the Neustadt Area 10 years ago, it was located in the Hechtviertel<\/em> (\u201cHecht Area\u201c). Henne and Lolli have been running the hostel together for 10 years now!!!<\/p>\n
\nShortly before the summer season started our lovely receptionist, Elli, decided to become a teacher for our hostel guests. In summer we offered our guests to learn German with Elli<\/em> every Tuesday @7.30 pm for one hour. Elli taught you how to meet, greet and order everything from ice cream to \u201eSchweinshaxe\u201c in German. Thank you Elli!<\/p>\n
\nLike every year we had a stage set up for some bands and we were happy to celebrate the \u201cColourful Republic of the Neustadt\u201c (in German: Bunte Republik Neustadt<\/em>). The Bunte Republik Neustadt<\/em> (literally \u201cColourful Republic of Neustadt\u201d) was a micronation in parts of the city\u2019s district Dresden-Neustadt<\/em> from 1990 to 1993. Nowadays every year in June a 3-day cultural festival is celebrated in the Neustadt<\/em> under the same name. Thanks to all of the helpers, which made this years festival possible – it was a blast!
\nHere’s next years dates: June 19th, 2015 \u2013 June 21st, 2015. Make sure to reserve a room or bed as early as possible. It’s definitely worth it to stay for the whole three days.<\/p>\n
\nWe love when you guys write us. In July we received a lovely postcard from Taiwan. This is what we work for (!), so please if you were satisified with our service (or not), write us an review or simply send us a postcard. We’re always interested in your opinions.<\/p>\n
\nLike many, Lollis Homestay could not be spared from the “Ice Bucket Challenge”. Cameraman Marc and Johannes captured the event. Check out the video on our facebook page and to all the ladys out there \u2013 the guy is some serious eye candy. ;) At this point we’re raising awareness for the the disease ALS (amoytrophic lateral sclerosis) and encourage donations to research.<\/p>\n
\nAre you enjoying the music you’re hearing in the common room and reception area? Every receptionist has her or his own favorite genre and artists, which they love to hear while working. So besides taking care of check-ins, check outs, preparing breakfast, entertaining guests or cleaning after them, the receptionists are also Dj-ing and showing you the hottest tracks of the season (or century). ;)<\/p>\n
\nBy the way \u2026 The city tax introduced to Dresden in February, 2015 is not mandatory anymore. Every guest, who is over 18 years old now safes EUR 1,30 per night again. Yay!<\/p>\n
\nRefugees are welcome<\/em> & Lollis Homestay supports this.
\nPEGIDA demonstrations have been taking place in our Old Town (Altstadt<\/em>) to protest against the “Islamization” of Europe since October, 2014. Their statements towards Islam are strongly directed at extremist groups.<\/p>\n
\nThere’s really nothing much left to say. In the last month of the year many came to visit Dresdens lovely christmas market and get a glimpse of Dresdens special christmas spirit . The fireworks on the night of December 31st illuminated the whole city. Right in the middle lies a small hostel, its employees anxiously await you and are happy about every visitor from around the world!<\/p>\n
