Bilderberg Bellevue Hotel Dresden

8/10 Good
"Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights, found it to be in a great, quiet and good location, just across the bridge from the old town centre. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast choice was limited but ok. The hotel also has its own car park that is available for a fee.One thing that my husband and I really hated is the pillows; they were absolutely terrible and somehow we only had 3 pillows between the two of us."

"We loved this hotel-- definitely our favorite of the whole trip! Absolutely beautiful hotel and great location. We booked the "friends and family suite" and it was amazing! It was hard to tell exactly what it was when I booked, but it was perfect for us! It has one common door, then a foyer type situation with one smaller room and full bathroom on one side, with its own door, then another door to the other side with a half bath, living area with couches, desk, and table with chairs, then the other room with a door and full bathroom. It was tons of space for our family of four and we loved it! There is a mini fridge in the room as well. Breakfast was good but super busy at the time we went. Gym is small but good, and parking was good! Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!"
