Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden

I’m not sure my stay warrants a full review as I arrived very late and had to leave the following morning but I still somehow had a marvellous time even though I slept for most of it. What I want from a 5 star hotel is for everything to be easy and for them to anticipate what I might want. I had a nightmare of day and when I eventually arrived my car was parked for me without fuss, check in was easy and friendly. Drink service in the bar was a bit slower than I would like but the drinks were excellent. There was a bottle of sparkling wine in my room as a treat but I unfortunately didn’t get to enjoy it. The room was stunning and a very comfortable place to chill. I slept very well. Breakfast was outstanding and check out was effortless. Probably spent less than 12 hours there but very keen to return to enjoy the amenities to a greater extent and to actually see some of Dresden.

Few hotels can claim to offer superb service, excellent rooms and facilities, first class restaurants and a wonderful location. This one can! There is something to be said for walking into a hotel which has been so beautifully and tastefully “renovated” from an old Palace - and feel one has left the world outside behind.

Excellent service, perfect location, beautiful rooms! The hotel is newly renovated and the choice of colors and the furnishings is very appealing. It's also located right where you want to be. The staff is very professional and motivated. They really take customer care seriously.

Hotel is newly renovated, beautiful interior of the rooms. Pool and Spa are also great. Parking is possible for 25€/day. Breakfasts are also in very nice quality. Unfortunatelly during Xmas dinner in hotel restaurants were fully booked, cafeteria Amalia is not very good for lunch or anything else that coffe/tea (There is older gentleman-waiter, who is really rude).

We booked this hotel in Dresden following a few nights in Berlin. We decided on a junior suite which, to be honest, was about the top end of our budget for this trip. However, from the moment we entered the building, we did not begrudge a penny of it. It is ornate inside and generates a relaxing atmosphere. The staff are outstanding, very friendly and helpful but without making it stuffy! Our junior suite was spacious and very comfortable with a separate living area. We ate in Kastenmeiers restaurant twice and had some very good food - please see separate review. Was it 100% perfect? Well no. We visited Amalie for a cake and wine - no problem with the produce but the service was painfully slow. Went we finally got served, it then took ages to be able to pay. If we visit Dresden again, we would definitely stay in this beautiful hotel again.
