Radisson Blu Hotels in Dresden

We stayed at the Radisson Blue in Dresden for two nights to attend a medical conference. This hotel is located in a residential area across the river from the ”Alte Stadt”. The outside is unimpressive but pleasant and looks somewhat like a 1950s post war military compound. However, once inside, the reception, bar and restaurant areas are bright with modern appointments. After checking in we were given a very large key to our room. I really liked this big heavy key. There was no way I could forget that I had it in my pocket. However, we followed the hotel recommendation and left it with reception when we went out to explore the old city. All of the hotel staff that we encountered were friendly, accommodating, knowledgable and English speaking. We stayed in a renovated suite that was quiet, clean and comfortable. There was enough storage and closet space to accommodate visitors who travel with steamer trunks filled with clothes. The bathroom contained a toilet, sink, tub with shower as well as, a separate shower area. Our suite also contained a sitting/working area with TV, desk, chair and sofa. The sitting area could be isolated from the sleeping area by closing two doors. I like to stay up a bit later than my partner so she could sleep while I watched the late nightly news. The sleeping area contained a king size bed, TV and additional closet space. The sleeping area also contained a small bathroom with toilet and sink. A very nice touch for those of us who must make a nightly visit to the bathroom. Although the hotel is not in the city centre, there is a tram stop nearby with a 20 minute ride to the tourist attractions. Tram tickets can be purchased at the Hotel's reception desk. Highly Recommend.
