Enjoy some time out from concrete-filled cities at Lake Birkwitz. This is an ideal place to get some fresh air, slow down and soak up the views.

This body of water is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Pratzschwitz. But Lake Birkwitz isn't the area's only highlight. Pillnitz Castle and Park, Dresden Elbe Valley, and Grosssedlitz Baroque Garden are some other interesting sights nearby.

8.4/10 Very Good! (418 reviews)

The Hotel is situated outside the city centre but perfectly connected to public transport. It feels safe and is very clean. Staff are friendly. Downsides for us: bathtub/shower very slippery, shower curtain sticks to everything and the water temperature fluctuates. Would still recommend and we will be back.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,134 reviews)

I stayed 3 nights. The location of Star G was excellent - walking distance to Dresden highlights, the river, and shops, cafes and dining options. The room was clean and spacious and I liked the fact that windows opened for fresh air. However my room faced the clock/bell tower and although I generally like the sound of church bells in Europe, the chimes were intrusive, continuing until midnight.
