Everything was awesome, but the shower room is cold in the morning. I recommend taking a shower in the evening.

El personal amabilísimo. Para el precio que tiene está muy bien, pero es un bloque de pisos viejos reconvertido en hostal. Los baños estaban muy precarios, y mi cama chirriaba cuando me movía lo más mínimo.

Ich bedanke mich ganz herzlich.

Sehr gerne!Wir freuen uns, dass du den Aufenthalt genossen hast und hoffe, du kommst gern wieder!Alles Gute,Emma- Lollis Homestay

Liked: Die Lage war sehr zentral. Das Hostel war super sauber und die Matratze war bequem. Das Aufenthaltsraum war sehr kreativ gestalten und es gab umsonst Tee und andere Aktivitäten.

Lieber Gast, hab vielen Dank für deine großartige Bewertung :) Wir freuen uns ungemein daß es dir bei uns so gut gefallen hat und wünschen dir alles Gute. Viele Grüße aus Dresden. Martin und das Team vom Lollis Homestay.

Liked: Very friendly staff, always eager to help (with a caveat, see "What I didn't like" below) Optimal size of the common areas: big enough not to feel crowded and uncomfortable at all times, yet small enough to foster interaction between guests if they're up for it Disliked: Beware of the British receptionist, who gets easily offended by simple questions such as “When will the showers be cleaned?” (at 14:00). Basically a combination of an overall passive-aggressive attitude with a dismissive “it's done the way it's done, it will be done when it's done” mentality. Metal locker boxes are quite old and can be tricky to close/open sometimes.

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your kind feedback about your stay with us. We really appreciate your compliments about our team (with the small exception). We are also pleased to read your comments about the size of the communal areas. We are very glad to hear this, as we believe it encourages our guests to socialise and make new connections. Unfortunately, you had an unpleasant experience with a receptionist. I will speak to her directly about this, but I suspect she may have been stressed at the time. Based on your description, I think it happened around lunchtime when there was a lot going on at reception (check-outs, cleaning, laundry delivery, first guest arrivals, etc.). I would like to apologise for this, but also defend my colleague to some extent. We are still in the high season, and the shifts at reception are very challenging when the hotel is fully booked. It's sometimes hard to get the balance right in our interactions with guests when the shifts are so tough. However, we always try our best, and I am sorry that this happened! I hope that explains things. We wish you all the best and hope to welcome you back one day. Best regards from Dresden, Martin and the team at Lollis Homestay

Liked: Různé aktivity, které hostel nabízí. Pokoje čisté. Paní na recepci milá a ochotná. Disliked: Vrzací postele - stačilo se jen trochu pohnout a v celém pokoji bylo slyšet skřípání

Liked: A DIY entertainment area has been built on the ground floor, complete with a kitchen. You can also interact with people from different cultures. Disliked: The reception is not open 24 hours a day.

Dear guest, Thank you very much for your excellent feedback about your stay with us. We are glad that you enjoyed the international and social atmosphere we provide, as well as our fully equipped kitchen. Our reception is open from 7 am to midnight, and we have a night shift at weekends. So far, there have been no problems with us not being here overnight. We have a system for guests arriving late and try to resolve any issues just before we close the reception. We wish you safe travels and thank you again for choosing our hostel for your stay in Dresden. Kind regards, Martin – Lollis Homestay

Liked: Die Volunteers und Mitarbeitenden waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es wird viel Wert auf die Gemeinschaft gelegt und es gibt gemeinsame Aktionen. Disliked: Mein Schlafraum war etwas muffig, aber in Ordnung

Liebe Gästin, hab vielen lieben Dank für deine wunderbare Bewertung. „Wahnsinnig tolle Atmosphäre“ ist ein so schönes Kompliment. Dein Lob an unsere Mitarbeiterinnen gebe ich gern weiter. Ich vermute, dass die „Muffigkeit” des Zimmers daher rührt, dass es diese Woche mit sechs Personen voll belegt war. Unsere Putzleute reinigen und lüften die Zimmer täglich gründlich. Es freut uns auch sehr, dass dir unsere Gästeevents so gut gefallen haben und dass unser Bemühen, unsere Gäste zusammenzubringen, ein gutes Gemeinschaftsgefühl schafft. Wir wünschen dir alles Gute und würden uns freuen, dich eines Tages wieder bei uns begrüßen zu können. Viele Grüße aus Dresden, Martin – Lollis Homestay

Honestly a really nice hostel. I didn’t stay long but it feels like a traditional hostel, people are nice and the place is clean and safe. I’d 100% recommend it. If you go to Dresden, stay here. You will be happy you did!! ????

Liked: Было чисто и все Disliked: На фото было другие комнаты ,несоответствие и большой рейтинг, думала интересно, результат разочаровал

Уважаемая гостья, большое спасибо за ваш отзыв о пребывании в нашем отеле. Нам очень жаль, что мы не смогли оправдать ваши ожидания в отношении недорогого номера. В чем именно заключалась проблема? Вы проживали в тихом двухместном номере (а точнее, в нашем «Bubbleroom»), который, как правило, пользуется большой популярностью у путешествующих пар, как в вашем случае. Мы очень рады, что вы так высоко оценили чистоту хостела, но, похоже, что-то помешало нам убедить вас даже бесплатным ужином для наших гостей в тот вечер. Может быть, вы могли бы еще раз конкретно рассказать нам об этом? Возможно, мы упускаем что-то, что нам следует улучшить? В любом случае, мы желаем вам всего наилучшего и приятного продолжения путешествия. С уважением из Дрездена. Мартин — Lollis Homestay.

The price is low and it's in a good location, but I didn't like the hostel itself. I wasn't as clean as it appeared in the photos and the wall were all covered with obnoxious political stickers. The bed was uncomfortable and it was loud until after midnight. It's cheap, but overall, it wasn't the best.

Dear Guest,We are very sorry that the hostel itself did not live up to your expectations. We always want our guests to leave Dresden with a nice, pleasant memory of their time with us. Please be assured, the rooms and common areas are cleaned thoroughly daily, and we will continue to our best to ensure a high standard of cleanliness throughout the hostel. However, I would also like to point out, we are still in the high-travel-season, and almost immediately after cleaning (and even often during) guests come immediately into the spaces and make the spaces dirty again quickly. As for the stickers, this is quite simply our way and also comes from other guests, and we like it. We certainly believe it is important to spread the anti-fascist message, given the current state of the world, and we are very open about our message. This we would not change, although appreciate it was not to your taste. I am very suprised about the bed, as we have recently swapped out our matresses for new ones, but we will certainly investigate it further.Kind regards,Emma- Lollis Homestay

Liked: Great location and friendly and helpful staff. The common area was cosy and comfortable and a great chill out space. Room was spacious and comfortable. Showers were ok but only one toilet for the floor. Disliked: Only one toilet for the floor.

Dear guest, thank you very much for your wonderful review of your stay with us. We are delighted that you particularly highlighted the location of the hostel and the friendliness of our staff. I am happy to pass on the praise to everyone :) I have one comment about the showers. To ease the situation with the showers, we have made it possible for all guests on the upper floors to use the showers on the first floor, where there are enough of them. Perhaps this was not clearly communicated to you, or you did not notice the sign. We are sorry that this caused you any inconvenience. We wish you all the best and hope to welcome you back one day. Best regards from Dresden. Martin and the team at Lollis Homestay.

Liked: I've stayed all over Europe and there’s no hostel this sweet! The receptionist immediately gave me an extra duvet when I said I was cold. Absolutely recommend.

Dear Guest, How wonderful! It is feedback like yours that motivates us and inspires us to run our hostel with love and a great deal of social commitment. We are delighted that you noticed and communicated our friendliness and helpfulness. We were also happy to accommodate you and wish you all the best. Kind regards, Your Lollis Team

Disliked: Dirty beds, shower and toilet

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. It has been a month since your stay, which makes it difficult for me to reconstruct exactly what the problem was in the room. Our cleaning team usually works efficiently and meets the satisfaction of all guests. Leaving a note at the reception desk during your stay would have helped us ensure cleanliness. Nevertheless, I will share your feedback with the staff working on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the days of your stay last month, so they are aware of the issue. We wish you all the best and send our regards from Dresden. Martin - Lollis Homestay

????????????

Dear Guest,Thank you for your great review! We are glad that you had a nice time with us and we enjoyed hosting you as well! Please come again soon!All the best,Emma and the Lollis Team

Disliked: Very loud location. It was nearly impossible to sleep due to the noise of the nightclubs and the tram. We had to make our own bed.

Dear guest, thank you very much for your feedback on your stay, even though we were unable to meet your expectations for an overnight stay in Dresden. We apologize for this. Our hostel is located in the middle of Neustadt, Dresden's bar and nightlife district, and it can be quite noisy here, especially on weekends, because there are many bars and clubs around our hostel. We actually communicate this in our accommodation description. The fact that you had to provide your own bed linen is actually standard practice in hostels. Perhaps you were expecting a hotel stay and chose us because of our particularly low prices? As I said, we are sorry that we were unable to convince you, but we wish you all the best and hope you have a great time on your trip through Europe. Best regards. Martin - Lollis Homestay.

Liked: staff are so nice! beds are super comfy. common room is cute and cozy. free tea and coffee was awesome! very cozy, decently social but not too loud. great reception who could answer all of our questions. Disliked: Beds were creaky but they still were really comfy

Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback about your stay at our hostel. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and found our beds comfortable. I have asked the caretaker to check the bed in your room again, find out why it was creaking, and fix the problem as soon as possible. We are glad you were able to sleep well despite this minor issue. Thank you also for your kind words about our staff. I thank them on your behalf. We wish you continued great travel experiences and hope to welcome you back one day. Best regards from Dresden, Martin — Lollis Homestay

What a great Hostel. Really good service (fast, friendly and efficient). The breakfast is also good. It's at least vegetarian. The bed is in good shape even when it is not new. It's a cozy hostel.

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your wonderful review of your stay with us. We are delighted that you were impressed by everything we have to offer. We wish you all the best and hope to welcome you back one day. Best regards from Dresden, Martin — Lollis Homestay

Great stay, the crowd is pretty young and the area has a lot of great bars filled with a younger college audience. Very nice. The room, however, was a decent little walk from the downtown Dresden area

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your wonderful review of your stay with us. We are delighted that you highlighted the hostel's location in particular. Dresden's Neustadt district has many cafés, bars, and street art, as well as a vibrant nightlife and a young population. Many students and artists have settled here, making Neustadt a special, vibrant, and livable district. We are pleased that you enjoyed the atmosphere and the streets around our hostel. We would be delighted to welcome you back one day. Best regards from Dresden, Martin and the Lollis team

Best regards from Dresden, Martin – Lollis Homestay

Liked: Free coffee & tea in the morning Very good equiped kitchen Funny alternative architecture and interior Disliked: The heaters go down to 18 degree every 2h so when you come back in the evening the room ist cold although you turn on the heater before you leave

Dear Guest, Wow, what great feedback! We are thrilled by your words, and we are also glad that you participated in our social events and made them even better. We wish you wonderful travel experiences on your trip through Europe. All the best! Yours sincerely, Martin and the Lollis team

This is the best hostel I have stayed at! The vibe was amazing, the staff were lovely and very easy and quick to communicate with via email regarding checkin, the walking tour and hiking guides are awesome and we actually extended our stay because we just loved it so much. Would 100% recommend and I hope I have the opportunity to come back ????

Dear guests, it is so incredibly wonderful to read your feedback about your stay with us. What touching, beautiful words you have found—we are truly overjoyed that you enjoyed your time with us so much.
