In a nutshell, nice hotel if you are looking for Spa and relaxing, combined with a varied breakfast buffet. However, the location is not convenient for sightseeing.

Positive:
- spacious rooms
- staff friendly and efficient
- good Spa area with pool, yacuzzi, sauna and masages
- varied breakfast buffett

Negative:
- late check-out not possible, hotel was fully booked
- hotel is mostly used by travel groups, for breakfast it gets very crowded
- parking could be free
- WiFi could be free
- hotel is a bit dated, but still OK

It would stay there again, but not for sightseeing. It is located about 20 minutes by car from the city centre, there is a tram station nearby.

On a first view it is a very unusual hotel since it is composed with a demi-dozen of different buildings around a lovely garden, all buildings being connected through the underground car park. It is therefore extremely convenient since your car is just at proximity of the entrance of your building. This organization was very convenient for us since there was a lot of people in the main building of the hotel (Red Bull Air Race) when we arrived on this August 7, 2010 with a late reception. However we did not hear anything because this hotel is very well conceived.
It is a park hotel like the Germans love, with a kitchen in the room and flats connected two by two, allowing to spend a few days with friends or in a separate apartment. Very clean and modern rooms, even if it is clear that we are not in Western Germany.
Finaly people was extremely kind. Room service was OK and we obtained easily a small bed for our 2 yrs old little child.
Very nice hotel, but mainly for people like us who want to stop one night in the middle of a long trip or people who want to spent quiet days outside the city. If you want to visit Dresden, you will need to drive around 20 min to reach the city center. Do not hesitate to taste the very nice saxon wine, especially the Riesling Baccus 2008 which is very well done and far better than most of the Riesling from Alsace. Do not try the red wine (saxe is not a good place for red wines).

The quality of room, food and cleanliess very good. Service is not to good. We orderd a room with an additional bed. We arrived late and the receptionist ensured us that the bed is allready in the room but is was not :( The other thing you need to consider is that most of the rooms are in additional buildings connected via ....underground parking. A bit strange and not very convinient if you walk back from swimming pool (which is in the main building).

Radisson Blu is located in suburb of Dresden, which has many positives and few negatives - positive great and green surroundings, quiet area, enough parking space, negative disance to centre (approx. 20 minutes by tram close to hotel). Staff very friendly, got nice spacious Studio with own kitchenette and entrance to terrace, kids loved the playground and therefore nice weekend in Dresden. Breakfast very good choice, spa faclities are hard to beat - I would recommend this hotel to anybody preferring calm and friendly hotel in nice environment, probably not to those looking for dowtown location with lot of nightlife around.
