Very convenient central location, across the street from a major tram stop in the center of
Leipzig, where all the trams stop. A block away from the "Moritzbastei" which is where
we ended up each night because this club was my favorite of the other ones we've seen
in Leipzig. That club is seriously amazing the hotel is also a short walk to Darkflower
and just a couple blocks away from the "Hauptbahnhof" train station. The hotel was very
nice and fancy, staff are friendly. A nice touch was the fresh apples that were free at the
front counter. There is free high speed Internet in the rooms, via an Ethernet port that you
can plug into (make sure you have an Ethernet cable, although the hotel may be able to
supply one If you ask them). The Internet was a huge plus for me considering I'm an
Internet junkie, and wired cable Internet is always way better than wireless, plus i was
impressed that it was free. We had a double bed room, everything was pretty new, had
a LCD flat screen TV in the room. Also the room was a pretty decent size and had a
programmable safe in the closet so you could store your valuables. There was also a
mini-fridge which of course was overpriced but you could store a few things in there to
keep them cold. No bathtub, just a shower, although this seems to be standard in most
European hotel rooms. If you left the "do not disturb" sign on the door the staff did not
bother us at all in the morning, and they simply cleaned the rooms when we left which
was usually around 3-4pm. The air conditioning also worked nicely, which is something
a few of our friends had complaints about at other hotels. Overall i was very pleased
with the hotel. Everyone else recommended the renaissance when we were booking,
but they had already sold out so we opted for the Radisson. In retrospect, a few of our
friends had some complaints about their hotel rooms and they thought the Radisson
was a better hotel so we may just try it again next time. There were also quite a few
other Goths staying at the hotel as well. My only minor complaint is the bed blankets
provided were these huge fluffy down comforters that were literally about 20 centimeters
thick, which i guess is extra fancy, but i would wind up waking up all sweaty If i covered
myself in the blanket, so just a minor annoyance.

Excellent local transport links, although can be quite noisy if other non WGT events are
happening in Augustusplatz.
