Dorint Hotel Potsdam

"Reception wasn't so good. A young receptionist, chewing gum with her mouth open, managed to force out a hello and then handed over the room key without explanation. We've received a friendlier welcome. Breakfast was good. Room was clean. The stairwells are not for use except at the reception. Therefore, the walks are very long."

Wi-Fi a little weak, but otherwise everything is top. Breakfast with large selection, restaurant very delicious. The terrace and the separate step on the lake provide a special atmosphere. The service was warm and professional. Thanks especially to Elita for her extraordinary kindness and competence. I felt well around and I was happy to come back."

Schloss Kartzow Hotels in Potsdam

Schloss Kartzow

"We stayed for three nights in May and were looking forward to staying after having to cancel our trip in 2020. I have given this review a lot of thought and will try to be objective as we had a varied experience staying here. After finding an entrance to the property, there seem to be two, we parked the car and walked around to what is obviously the main entrance which was closed, there was no bell or signage so we walked around to the back terrace and entered through the open door there. Even though we had been asked to supply our expected time of arrival there didn’t seem to be anybody about and we felt uneasy about letting ourselves in unannounced. We finally found the owner who didn’t speak any English and as we didn’t have much German it turned into a rather odd exchange, it just felt very awkward. Not a warm welcome. The restaurant that is advertised as being on site was not operational so we ventured out to try and find somewhere to have dinner. On returning to the Schloss the keys that we were given to open the terrace doors would not open the lock so my husband had to ring the owner on the phone to ask her to come down and open the door for us. Not a very good start to our stay. We had a few other problems during our stay, the hairdryer in our room didn’t work and the promise of having it replaced never eventuated. They seemed to have had problems with the power as well and were having issues with the coffee machine at breakfast. The final straw was waking up on our last day there to find that there was no water. We had to ask when we went downstairs at breakfast what the problem was. There is a definite problem here with a lack of communication. Apparently there was an issue with ageing pipes nearby and the water would be turned off while it was fixed. The owners knew about the planned water shutdown but neglected to inform us the day before which would have solved the problem of us being left unprepared. A simple note under the door to forewarn us would have sufficed. Google translate would have helped with any language problems. We waited in our room for the problem to be fixed but as the time dragged on we went back downstairs and walked straight into the middle of a wedding taking place so out of respect to the couple we retreated back up to our room. Once again a little information about a planned wedding taking place would have been helpful. I actually had to ask if they had any bottled water that we could use as there was never any offer of anything to help us. The water was not reinstated until later in the day and while I understand that this can happen anywhere it was the lack of warning and communication that really annoyed us. That night after returning from having dinner out we walked in to find a private dinner party taking place in the dining room. A staff member started chatting to us pleasantly at the door until the owner came out and hung about looking anxious. The whole time that we were at the Schloss I "

Kongresshotel Potsdam am Templiner See

"I was at this hotel for a business event and was really looking forward to my stay. From the outside, the hotel makes an impressive impression. It's very large and looks modern. Unfortunately, I discovered that the room wasn't entirely clean upon arrival. There were hairs on the pillow and in the bed, which surprised and disappointed me greatly when checking in, especially considering the price. After complaining the next day, I was fortunately given a new room with an upgrade. I'm very grateful for that. The new room was significantly larger, more comfortable, and finally had a kettle, which made my stay much more pleasant. Unfortunately, it was very noisy overall. On the first night, I could hear a party, which, although not organized by the hotel, still penetrated the room quite noticeably. The noise from other guests was also clearly audible on the second night. The walls are quite thin, so sleep might be difficult for sensitive individuals. On the positive side, I'd like to highlight the hotel's beautiful location, which is perfect for walks, as well as the friendly and helpful staff. Overall, the stay was pleasant thanks to the upgrade and the friendly staff, however, due to the noise issue, I would personally not visit the hotel again."

"It would be excellent if tenants could have a kettle for boiling water in the hotel rooms, to boil water in the cold winter, for drinking coffee or tea packages to warm up ourselves in the cold harsh winter, when all restaurants are closed at night. Also a washing machine facility to wash our clothes."

Hotel Brandenburger Tor Potsdam ★★★★
"Fantastic location. Friendly service. Good breakfast. But: internet super slow if working at all. No flexibility in bike rental. Staff tried to be helpful but wasn’t very knowledgeable in certain areas. Free welcome apples were a nice touch. Room itself could have been cleaner. Broken outside window. Tv not properly working due to internet issues. Water wasn’t refilled. Had to ask for refill during our 3 day stay (even we booked the luxury suite) especially on a Sunday when all shops are closed that isn’t very cool. Staff was very friendly about it but I would prefer service that doesn’t wait for me to ask for things."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites POTSDAM by IHG ★★★
"The room is small and there is no refrigerator. There is no floor space to open a large suitcase. Suitable for solo travelers, such as business trips. Breakfast appears to be (almost) free, but do not expect a buffet. It is roughly a German version of the breakfast found at Toyoko Inn hotels in Japan. If Berlin is your main destination, public transportation routes are inconvenient. However, if Potsdam is your main destination, the location is considered excellent."

Elisapart - Apartments am Sommerschloss ★★★★
"We stayed in two suite rooms. One for 3 people and another for 4 people. Both suites were spacious, fully furnished, and equipped with excellent amenities including a washing machine and dishwasher. The location was very convenient: just 3 minutes from the S-Bahn station, 4 minutes from the tram stop (Haltestelle), and only 5 minutes from Ristorante Toscana. We had a fabulous stay and truly appreciated the comfort and convenience provided. Highly recommended!"

Hotel Villa Monte Vino ★★★★
"The hotel is located right next to Sanssouci Park, which is very convenient if that is your main destination in Potsdam. However, the location is less practical for most other activities, such as restaurants, cafés, and shopping. Reaching the edge of Potsdam’s old town requires a fairly long walk, including a steep uphill/downhill section with stairs. There is no restaurant on site, so guests need to go into the city for lunch or dinner. That said, the breakfast was excellent, and the room itself was quiet, comfortable, and well equipped with pleasant amenities. The minibar was empty, however, and I would have appreciated it being stocked. Good air conditioning in the room."
