Quick check in, people always at front desk, friendly staff, spacious elevators, excellent breakfst, comfortable beds, clean room.

Radebeul is a really nice suburb of Dresden and the Radisson is a great place to stay whilst there. The grounds of the hotel are well kept and the rooms we stayed in were clean and spacious. On the whole, we had a very enjoyable stay but I do have a few minor criticisms. The main one is that the pillows were very lumpy and uncomfortable (please buy new ones)! We were on the first floor of Anna Villa and there were the usual inconsiderate guests slamming doors and seemingly stamping their feet above and below us. Parking is €16 per day in the hotel’s garage. For a two night stay, we decided to park on a local side street and save ourselves €32! The last criticism was that the spa charges guests for entry. It is ‘only’ €5 per person (€15 for a family) but I have stayed in a lot of hotels for my job and this is the first time I have experienced a hotel charging guests to use the pool/sauna. I understand charging non-guests but it didn’t sit right to charge your own guests for something that most hotels provide for free. We did not pay for breakfast as part of the room package and if we had wanted to eat breakfast in the hotel, it was €11 for children and €21.50 for adults, which we felt was excessive and so ate breakfast elsewhere. I stress however that we did have an enjoyable stay and would certainly book this hotel again next time we visit Dresden. My review is genuinely intended to be constructive criticism as no hotel ever gets everything right all the time
