hostel was ok, not too far from main sights and party area, but not much going on when I was there.

The location is very good from the train station but about 30 min walk from the old town. Depending on why you are there for, it can be good, or not... It was clean also with a big living room and the adjacent kitchen. I did not spent much time there however. Two negative points, you have to pay for bed sheets and no towel is provided...

All 3 staff members that I met, particularly Robert, were genuine friendly and very helpful. Definitely recommend this place to further travelers.

The hostel is excellent. Very well located, close to nightlife in Dresden, the HBF plus supermarkets. Public Transport offers maps and all points of the city to be visited. All very organized and clean. I'm from Brazil and beyond have enjoyed much of the city, I loved the way the hostel offered.

Hey... thank you so much for these nice words. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay... just not to confuse anyone... the HBF is on the Altstadt-Side. The 3 min away Station is called DRESDEN-NEUSTADT... Wish you all the best for your travel, take care and sunshine, wherever you go! the kangaroo-stop-team

The staff were not friendly or very helpful. I felt like I was an inconvenience to them and the other travellers were weird.

We had a superb stay at Kangaroo Hostel. Comfy place, clean and had awesome, helping staff. The kitchen and the common room are huge and very well equipped. We were 8 people and still were able to have breakfast or cook dinner all at the same time. There was quite a party at the hostel that night, although we didn't had trouble with that at all.

WIFI is working in the common rooms (lounge / kitchen / breakfast room / reception and so on) and most of the rooms BUT not in every corner. If WIFI would not work we would not have any guests because everybody who is traveling is depending on WIFI today!

Kind staff always there when I need to ask about info or facilities within hostels. Appreciated their warm welcome and introducing at the first time of arrival. Guest kitchen and lounge is in a separated area. Loved using the kitchen. Bed was neat and tidy, water sink in each room.

Great Hostel! Value for the Money is a 10!! The staff helped me A LOT to get my bus tickets to Prague. The thing I didn´t liked about the hostel is the fact that they charge you for the breakfast a little too much(5 Euros) and that you have to say the night before if you want it or not.

I loved having a "double-room" as an 8-bed dorm. It helped keep the guests out of each other's way and accommodate different schedules.

The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming & helpful. It is extremely affordable (I told you that you could put the prices up a bit as it is very good value for money)! Cozy lounge, useful to have a kitchen. The hostel & rooms are clean & well kept. The only thing I didn't like was paying separately for linen, you could just up the price a bit & save the hastle! Great location & I'll stay again if I come back to Dresden!
