Dormero Hotel Dresden Airport
"One room was nice. The other room smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. We requested a taxi for 4:15 am. The desk clerk said he would arrange it. The taxi never came and the nighttime contact numbers were recordings. We were luckily able to catch a bus to the airport."

Campanile Leipzig Halle Airport
"We liked the hotel, it is handy for the airport and easy train into the city in 15 minutes. The only negative to note was how slow they were to replenish breakfast items that were empty. We had multiple items missing on both mornings."
