Their brochure states they are "an easy walk from the maiin train station." In fact, they are several blocks from there and, if I hadn't had a good map, I would have never found them. Take the trolley to JohanisPlatz and then walk two more blocks to the hotel.

The room was clean and quiet; with a TV, private WC and bath, and a double bed. Breakfast would have extra. The neighborhood was residential, with no businesses nearer than JohanisPlatz. The Old City (where you want to visit) is about a ten minute walk away. The staff was professional and courteous. The hotel seemed to be oriented towards travelers on business or on tours.

If you are going to Leipzig, which by the way is absolutly amazing, you should spent a little bit more money to be able to stay in the absolute downtown of this city. The Dorint is about 6 years old and I have to say a little run down. It is about 1 km away fom downtown, but that doesn't make it any quieter. The breakfast is good and you can even get a steak for breakfast if you want, but staff is not very friendly and does hardly speak any english. A friend of mine who stayed in the marriott on the other hand, couldn't say enough friendlyness and courtesy of the people working there. But read remarks for the marriott please.
