Located in Freital and within 4.4 miles of Dresden Central Station, Hostel Am Windberg has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi.

Clean, very spacious, equipped above a regular hostel level. Highly recommend it! Late check in is an advantage, also the price was unbeatable.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great budget hostel. Even the coffee is free. The rooms are large, the beds are comfortable, they don’t creak, nothing bothers you.

    Fantastic atmosphere, really great for getting to know new people on your trip; fun and creatively arranged, a very artistic and laid-back place; free coffee and tea; located in a funky district. If I were to point to the perfect youth hostel, this would be it.
