Andante Hotel Dresden in Dresden

I stayed at this hotel recently for two nights as part of a tour with Leger. The hotel is perfectly fine, it kind of fits with the vibe of Dresden - somewhat relaxed and laid back. The hotel has been modernised in some parts but retains a more traditional feel to it - especially as it uses physical keys! As would be expected in this style of hotel there were no USB charging functionality, but in my room (413) there were two plugs right by the bed which was handy. The bedding is again the more traditional sort than Brits will be used to, but the pillows were nice and firm. The TV in the room worked well with some English news channels available. I was on the top floor on the corner so had to contend with some interesting shaped ceilings - for the most part the space was well utilised, but in order to shower I had to squat the whole time which wasn't pleasant and wouldn't be possible for older people (I'm about average height for reference). The shower did warm quickly though and maintained heat. The hotel is situated just off of a busy main road but despite this there was little in room noise - the main noise came from noisy guests (and after 10PM!) The breakfast here was fine, nothing to rave about but also nothing to really criticise either. Staff both in reception and at breakfast weren't overly friendly but neither were they rude. I'd certainly consider staying at this hotel again (especially as I would love to return to Dresden), but would ask for another room just because of the shower situation - for a couple of nights it is manageable but for longer stays it wouldn't be.

The hotel is located on the outskirts of Dresden. The reception staff, room and bar were fine. Had breakfast at the hotel which was ok but limited choice. It's a 30 minute tram ride into the centre of Dresden & the tram stop is 200 metres from the hotel, or it's a 20 minute taxi ride.
