Advantages
Good valueOn timeQuiet rideDisadvantages
NoneThe bus ride from Hamburg to Dresden went flawlessly. The bus driver was very helpful and made a point of leaving on time. We arrived in Dresden a little late after a quiet journey. The seats are comfortable and offer enough legroom. The air in the bus is fresh and well tempered. The free wifi and power sockets worked. I also found the passengers very friendly and some nice conversations ensued. Everything was clean and it felt like it had been freshly cleaned. There were no problems and the journey was great. Great price and good service. Always happy to do it again.
Advantages
PriceRoutespeedEquipmentDisadvantages
Risk of traffic jamsThe facilities on the journey, with the FlixBus from Hamburg to Dresden, were really excellent, there was free wifi, which worked the entire journey without any outages and at a good speed. The upholstery of the seats is also extravagant compared to other companies. In addition to these points, I was also surprised by the surprisingly short journey time of just 7 hours. Despite regular stops!
Advantages
Low capacity utilisationBus driverDisadvantages
TransportJourney timeFreedom of movementYou can book the bus journey from Hamburg to Dresden with FlixBus for a pretty low price and the facilities inside the bus are really great, but you are travelling for over 7 hours during which you can hardly move. I've travelled this route more often by train and if you book early enough, the ICE is the better option to get to Dresden, I think.
Advantages

WcwifiI travelled to Dresden on 5 July due to work commitments.
The bus wasn't quite full, but the wifi didn't work as well as usual. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Unfortunately, the toilets were not 100 per cent clean.
Nevertheless, a nice trip.
