Kangaroo-Stop

Dresden


With an Australian theme throughout, this superb hostel is spread over two buildings: one for backpackers, the other for families. Some rooms have sinks, but other facilities are shared. Strike up new friendships in the kitchen-diner and communal areas, then mine the knowledgeable owner for the inside scoop on the city. Add on €6 per person for breakfast.
