Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Alex, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th floor or above) to minimize street noise from the Goerlitz streets. Given the 3-star rating, expect simple decor and amenities, but the higher floors should provide a quieter experience. Additionally, consider rooms facing the inner courtyard for a more peaceful view.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-2nd) as they may be closer to the street and potentially noisier. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or lift may be more prone to noise from staff and foot traffic.
Best views
The hotel's address in Goerlitz suggests a relatively central location. Rooms on the higher floors (4th floor or above) may offer views of the surrounding rooftops or the city skyline, but this is purely speculative without more specific data.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-4 are likely the quietest, given the layout and the fact that they're not directly adjacent to the street or service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise, especially on the lower floors, given the hotel's location in Goerlitz. The city has a mix of old and new architecture, which may contribute to a lively atmosphere.
Insider tips
If you're driving, consider parking in one of the nearby public parking lots, as the hotel's parking options may be limited. Be sure to check-in during regular hours, as the hotel's front desk may have limited hours or be closed during off-peak seasons.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Your arrival at Alex
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Berlin Central Bus Station (ZOB) → Görlitz Bus Station (Am Bahnhof)
💡 Book online 2 weeks ahead for €10 fares. The stop is a 10-minute walk from Alte Seilerei—head straight down Bahnhofstrasse, then left on Brüderstrasse. No luggage storage on the bus, so keep bags under your seat.
Dresden Airport (DRS) → Ferienwohnung Alte Seilerei, Görlitz
💡 Use Görlitzer Taxi GmbH (+49 3581 88990) for fixed-rate airport transfers—costs €110-130. Ask for a 'Firmenfahrpreis' (company fare) to avoid meter surges. Drop-off is directly on Alte Seilerei lane, but note the cobblestones: small wheels struggle.
Görlitz Railway Station → Stadthalle (5-min walk to Alte Seilerei)
💡 Buy a single ticket from the driver (cash only) or use the VVO app. Get off at Stadthalle, walk east on Demianiplatz, then right onto Alte Seilerei. The tram is unreliable after 21:00—switch to walking (15 mins) or a night taxi (€8 flat).
Dresden Airport (DRS) → Görlitz Railway Station (Bahnhof Görlitz)
💡 Buy a Sachsen-Ticket (€24) for up to 5 people at the airport DB machine. Change trains at Dresden Hauptbahnhof—platform 3 to 4 is a short walk but no lift, so pack light.

Top Attractions in Goerlitz
💡 Cross the Neisse footbridge from the bastion to Poland for an even better perspective—you don't need a passport, just walk. Best at sunset when the old town glows pink.
💡 Visit mid-afternoon when the sun cuts through the stained glass rose window. The carved stone altars inside are worth a close look. Free guided tours in German happen Saturdays at 2pm—ask at the tourist office for English sheets.
💡 Go early morning (around 8am) to avoid crowds and catch the best light for photos on the cobbled streets. Look for the Wendische Haus on Neißstraße—one of the oldest houses.
💡 Take the bus line 12 from Demianiplatz to 'Landeskrone' stop if walking feels long. The tower entry costs €1, but the walk and views are free. Bring binoculars—you can see the Königshain hills on clear days.
💡 Buy tickets at the tourist office on Obermarkt. Wear sturdy shoes—some floors are uneven and damp. The tour takes about 45 minutes and is well-marked with info boards. Go early to avoid queueing.
