Ibis budget Dessau Ost

The prices are reasonable, and it’s very close to the highway. But the rooms are a disaster, more like cabins, and the bathrooms are hard to describe. You can get through one night, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you just need somewhere to stay along the way.

The nearby shopping and parking were the only reasons for the one star. The rooms looked like they hadn’t been properly cleaned in months, and there were huge water damage stains on the walls, hopefully that’s all they were. Ashtrays in the rooms suggest people smoke in them. It wasn’t quiet, with a police station in the next building. There were no “do not disturb” signs, and staff came in without knocking. The lobby vending machine had been empty for days. For breakfast, I’d suggest walking 3 minutes to the bakery in the nearby mall.

For the low price, it’s a reasonable place if all you need is somewhere to sleep. The rooms are very small and the bathrooms even tinier, but breakfast was pretty decent for an extra charge.

The place was clean, cosy, comfortable, and affordable. Reception was very polite and dealt with requests quickly, and the staff were friendly and professional. I’d definitely recommend it.
