Occidental Dresden Newa

Nice design, convenient location, comfortable beds ❤️

I really liked this hotel in Dresden, one of the best hotel's I've stayed in and encountered. I understand it changed its brand from the Pullman to the Occidental, I don't think the change made no difference to the quality and ambiance this hotel showed. It is well maintained throughout, the arrival experience was superb even though I arrived just after midnight, the night managers were still very accommodating. The room was in a quality condition, and situated on level 13, which gave a awesome view of Dresden, the city centre and parts of the old town. The room came with complementary water which I think is a lovely gesture, and bath robes. The cleanliness was a perfection throughout the hotel and the room. The bar at the hotel was lovely to relax in and offered local German beers, the ambience was great and you can easily relax, it never got too busy either, you can also dine within the bar too. They provided an ok breakfast in the morning, a buffet concept with hot and cold options, and the choice was more than adequate. All the staff I encountered at this hotel were very professional and welcoming.

What we liked about the hotel was for sure the location, which turned out to be closer to the train station than we expected. We enjoyed the view from the top floor, spacious room, presence of fridge, comfy bed, and functional bathroom with big sink, good makeup mirror&light, and big, uncommon shower in the middle of the room. What’s more the 24/7 reception was an advantage. Additional thing I liked for sure was the Geburtstagsüberraschung (in form of a piece of cake and a letter) I received from the hotel, as I had my birthday during the stay.

14 floor chain hotel, so a little corporate and soulless. Shower location a little odd. Window is full height and width of the room - a bit startling at first but actually really good. Kettle and Nespresso machine and a fridge.. our view was looking up Pragerstrasse. Pragerstrasse was bouncing on Friday and Saturday - live music, outdoor bars and a huge choice of street food. Don't know if it's like that every weekend or if we were lucky. Hotel staff very professional and extremely helpful.

We booked a deluxe room with amazing views of the old town. Room itself is not very big but is luminous and very well designed and modern. Breakfast was excellent. Location is very good, very close to the rail station, in a bustling area and a 10 min walk to the old center of the city. We really enjoyed our stay.
