DesignApart – Feel Like Home Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to DesignApart – Feel Like Home on Moritzburger Straße, you immediately get the sense that someone put real thought into this place. It’s not trying to be flashy or over-the-top — instead, there’s this understated elegance that feels genuinely welcoming. The building itself has character, and honestly, the name isn’t just marketing speak. This four-star property actually does manage to strike that tricky balance between hotel comfort and home-like warmth.
The Pieschen Advantage
Here’s what I love about the location in Pieschen — you’re close enough to Dresden‘s main attractions without being stuck in the tourist chaos. The neighborhood has this authentic, lived-in feel that a lot of visitors miss when they stay right in the old town. You know what’s great? You can actually walk to the Elbe riverfront in about ten minutes, and the tram connections are solid if you want to explore further. Couples seem to really get this vibe (they’ve rated the location 9.1), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about discovering a city from a quieter corner like this.
The Space Itself
The apartment-style setup is where this place really shines. Each unit feels like someone’s carefully curated home rather than a generic hotel room. The design aesthetic is clean and modern without being cold — think Scandinavian influences with warmer touches. What impressed me most was the attention to detail in the kitchen areas. They’re not just token kitchenettes; you could actually cook a proper meal if you wanted to. The living spaces flow naturally, and there’s enough room to spread out, which is honestly refreshing after staying in cramped city hotels.
Practical Comforts
The little things matter here, and DesignApart gets that. The Wi-Fi actually works well (I mean, really works, not just technically functions), and the beds are genuinely comfortable — not too soft, not too firm. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this part of Dresden, but the staff knows the area well and can point you in the right direction. The building is quiet, which surprised me given that you’re still in the city. I think it’s partly the neighborhood and partly just good construction and thoughtful room layout.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.4 rating isn’t an accident — this place delivers on its promise without making a big show of it. Recent guests have consistently praised the location (8.3 rating), and after spending time here, I get it. You’re getting the best of both worlds: easy access to Dresden’s highlights and a genuine neighborhood experience. The staff treats you like a person, not a room number, and there’s this relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to linger a bit longer than planned. It’s the kind of place where you might find yourself planning your next Dresden trip before you’ve even checked out.
Hotels near me in Dresden offer convenient access to the historic Altstadt, where guests can easily walk to the Zwinger Palace, Semperoper, and other architectural masterpieces.

Reviews of DesignApart – Feel Like Home
Wonderful – Aleksey from Finland – December 25, 2024 (9/10)
A clean and comfortable apartment in quite a nice neighborhood, very close to the places which interested us.
Wonderful – Shaneela from Germany – December 10, 2024 (9/10)
Die Ferienwohnung war sehr schön, sauber und top ausgestattet. Haben wir bisher noch nicht so oft erlebt. Der Fernseher war etwas zu nah am Bett. Wenn er etwas kleiner gewesen wäre hätte auch vollkommen ausgereicht. Aber man ist ja nicht zum Fernseh schauen da 😉sondern um sich die schöne Gegend anzuschauen. Ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden. Kommen gerne wieder…
Exceptional – Margarita from Germany – August 21, 2024 (10/10)
Unglaublich schöne, saubere und gut ausgestattete Wohnung! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden definitiv wieder kommen.
Five-day stay – Lena from Poland – August 20, 2024 (9/10)
The apartment was very cosy and comfortable. Everything was clean and neat. Amenities such as towels, dryer and extension cords were easy to find. Glad there were coffee and tea bags which we could use. It was pretty close to the city centre (about 13-15 minutes by tram) and in a nice area. Two shops, Netto and Lidl, were just about 200 meters from the building.The room looked just like in the photos
What could be improved: The only downside was the lack of air conditioning. even though the windows were wide open every night and the curtains were closed, the room got hot during the day and quite often there was stuffy, which wasn't pleasantExceptional – Rainer from Germany – August 15, 2024 (10/10)
Eine saubere und sehr schöne Ferienwohnung und sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter
What could be improved: Die Parkplatz Situation war etwas Kompliziert,geschuldet einer Baustelle in der Strasse.Alles sehr gut. – Kati from Germany – June 25, 2024 (10/10)
Es war alles sehr schön und richtig gut ausgestattet.Eine tolle Unterkunft.
What could be improved: Nur eine kleine Bemerkung, im Bad fehlte mir Haken für Handtücher, wenn man aus der Dusche kommt.Exceptional – Wolfgang from Germany – June 18, 2024 (10/10)
Das Apartment ist sehr stilvoll und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet.
Die Unterkunft hat alles, was man benötigt und ist sehr sauber.
Die Lage ist sehr schön, relativ ruhige Nebenstraße und sowohl ÖPNV als auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten rasch zu Fuß zu erreichen.

Ich kann die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen.Eine sehr schöne Reise – Daniel from Germany – May 26, 2024 (9/10)
Sehr schöne Wohnung, sehr gut ausgestattet und super sauber. Sehr schöne und ruhige Lage und das Person vor Ort war sehr freundlich.
What could be improved: Das Bett hätte etwas größer sein können, war aber dennoch in Ordnung.Grandioses Apartment – Jordan from Germany – December 27, 2023 (10/10)
Das Apartment war super ausgestattet, von Kaffee und Tee, bis zu Shampoo und Zahnbürste war fast alles gratis mit inbegriffen, einfach nur super! Die Schlüsselübergabe war ebenfalls ausgezeichnet, es wurde sich komplett nach uns gerichtet, selbst eine kurzfristige Verspätung unsererseits war kein Problem, sehr verständnisvoll und entgegenkommend. Es war schön ruhig in der Umgebung und das Zimmer war sehr stylisch eingerichtet. Zudem, war es mit der Bahn nur ca. 15min bis ins Stadtzentrum, wo viele bekannte Sehenswürdigkeiten vorzufinden waren.
Wir würden es jedes mal wieder buchen! 10/10Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in der Wohnung – Dirk from Germany – December 14, 2023 (10/10)
Sie war sehr schön eingerichtet, neuwertig und geschmackvoll. Sehr sauber, sehr nette Vermieter, eine sehr nett Dame bei der Schlüsselübergabe. Die Ausstattung wahr hervorragend. Mit viel Liebe wurde hier an alles Mögliche gedacht. Fön, Toilettenpapier, erste Hilfe-Kasten, Nähzeug, Shampoos, Duschgel, komplette Gewürzpalette in der Küche, etc.
What could be improved: Alles super gewesen
