Where to stay in Leipzig

Advice on budget, affordable and luxury accommodation in Leipzig.

Budget accommodation in Leipzig

A stay at Leipzig's first independent youth hostel, The Sleepy Lion, brings with it ensuite living, cheap breakfast, entertainment and a location slap-bang in the thick of the city. And if you want to travel further afield, you can rent a Swiss Army bike from the hostel to get about on.

Central Globetrotter is also close to all the action, and is a matter of seconds' walk from the train station. There is a choice of clean dormitories and private rooms, along with an all you can eat breakfast that is great for party-animals, as it serves until midday.

Affordable accommodation in Leipzig

A little out from the city centre but all the quieter for it, a stay at the Balance Hotel should be a peaceful one. With decent-sized bedrooms, large bathrooms and cracking food, served outside or in, it is a good base for holidayers who do not want to be in the middle of things. However, when you want to go and see the rest of the city, the hotel gives you free tram travel for the duration of your stay.

If you just want to arrive in Leipzig and fall into bed, you could do worse than stay at the Best Western Premier Victors Residenz. Right opposite the central train station, the hotel is only minutes away from Leipzig's cultural and social scene.

Luxury accommodation in Leipzig

Great views of baroque and modern buildings await residents at the Leipzig Marriott Hotel. The hotel is but a stone's throw from Leipzig's attractions, and after a hard day's sight-seeing the Marriot has large rooms, comfortable bathrooms and great value meals and snacks.

Classy, grand and steeped in atmosphere, the Hotel Fuerstenhof offers a stay with character in Leipzig. Located near the Old Town, it is great for sightseeing, and the under-floor heating and friendly staff will give you a warm welcome on your return.
