Old Town Leipzig

"The me and all hotel in Leipzig is very new, modern and exceptionally clean. The location is excellent for exploring the city, with everything conveniently within reach. The room was comfortable and well designed, although we personally didn’t love the open shower concept and the separate toilet. That is, of course, a matter of personal preference. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel, as we preferred to try some of the cafés and breakfast spots in the city. Overall, a very good choice for a...

Old Town Leipzig

"Die Wohnung war groß, hell und sauber, jedoch nicht sehr gemütlich. Es machte den Eindruck, als wäre die Renovierung noch nicht abgeschlossen und die Bilder die auf Expedia (auch hier) dargestellt wurden waren ganz andere als die der Wohnung. Als wir das verstanden hatten war es total ok, wie gesagt, sauber, zentral und genug Platz. Dennoch hatten wir uns eigentlich eine andere Wohnung vorgestellt. Alles in allem würden wir aber wieder kommen. "

Top Old Town Leipzig Hotel Reviews

NH Leipzig Zentrum

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, close to trams and central location."

AMANO Home Leipzig

10/10 Excellent

"Really modern room and a very secure building. I was initially worried about this whole self check-in thing, but I got it figured out pretty easily once I commited to learning about it. The building is conveniently close to the main train station and that station had a ton of food option, which was nice."

Leipzig Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean and the beds were like clouds. The food at the buffet was phenomenal and the staff was very friendly, personal and very helpful. My only complaint is the bathtubs are extremely tall and difficult to get in and out of for people with some issues. The tubs were extremely slippery so if you go ask for a rubber mat for the tub. All in all I would highly recommend this hotel."
