9.1 (53 reviews)

Holiday Inn Express & Suites POTSDAM by IHG ★★★

📍 Am Kanal 15, Potsdam

"Poor service attitude, no coffee in the room, let guests drink it in the lobby"

Mercure Hotel Potsdam City
8.1 (104 reviews)

Mercure Hotel Potsdam City ★★★★

📍 Lange Bruecke, Potsdam

"The service was good, the breakfast had a wide variety of choices, and the front desk staff were very friendly. The location is in the center of Potsdam, near Berlin, not far from the A9 highway. Highly recommended; I would stay here again next time I'm in the area."

Seminaris Sunday See Hotel Potsdam
8.2 (49 reviews)

Seminaris Sunday See Hotel Potsdam ★★★

📍 An d. Pirschheide 40, Potsdam

"A very nice and clean hotel. The breakfast is really plentiful. The location is right by the lake. The only downside is that you have to pay extra for the pool and fitness facilities."

Hotel Ascot Bristol
8.3 (112 reviews)

Hotel Ascot Bristol ★★★★

📍 Asta-Nielsen-Straße 2, Potsdam

"The first breakfast was a real disappointment. The young staff weren't motivated, there was no cold cuts, fruit, etc., and they couldn't even offer me hot chocolate because the machine was broken (there are other ways to heat it up). When I asked if they were going to restock, they looked at their watch and said it was already 9:10. The second day, breakfast was fantastic! 👍🏻 They made us fresh scrambled eggs because they were out of them, and they brought hot chocolate to our table despite the broken coffee machine. So everything was great! 👍🏻"

Hampton by Hilton Potsdam Babelsberg
8.6 (74 reviews)

Hampton by Hilton Potsdam Babelsberg ★★★

📍 Ahornstraße 6, Potsdam

"Clean and hygienic, parking fee is a bit expensive, but everything else is great. Breakfast is very plentiful. The room is very large by European standards, and both twin beds are large. It is very close to the highway, making it convenient to go to Berlin and Leipzig."

Maxx Hotel Sanssouci Potsdam
9.0 (110 reviews)

Maxx Hotel Sanssouci Potsdam ★★★★

📍 Allee nach Sanssouci 1, Potsdam

"Great hotel in a fantastic location, and an excellent breakfast. Would happily stay here again!"

Hotel Brandenburger Tor Potsdam
8.5 (72 reviews)

Hotel Brandenburger Tor Potsdam ★★★★

📍 Brandenburger Str. 1, 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."

Anno 1900 Hotel Babelsberg
8.4 (736 reviews)

Anno 1900 Hotel Babelsberg ★★★

📍 Stahnsdorfer Strasse 68, Potsdam

Inselhotel Potsdam
8.8 (26 reviews)

Inselhotel Potsdam ★★★★

📍 Hermannswerder 30, Potsdam Süd, Potsdam

"The room was very clean and large enough. Breakfast was very good. On the first day it was etas tired at breakfast, the demand whether to want coffee took, on the second day it ran better. Great views at breakfast, you could also have breakfast outside. The hotel is very great. The "Garden view" was rather the view of the parking lot. The hotel was not cheap, but the prices for the deep garage are unreasonably high (25 Euro per night). The restaurant has only opened from 14 a.m.. SPA area would also have been extra cost."

Kongresshotel Potsdam am Templiner See Hotels in Potsdam

Kongresshotel Potsdam am Templiner See

"We booked the hotel for our wedding night for 2 nights. We wanted to use a sauna and I was wearing a Hijab swimming costume. I was told that we are not allowed to wear clothes or swimming costumes in the sauna.. Only Bikini or naked. Me and my husband were really shocked and turned back to our rooms. This was really degrading and unpleasant."

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 "

Seminaris Sunday See Hotel Potsdam ★★★
"Great location, right on the water, which makes this hotel special. The reception was friendly. It was disappointing that we didn't get the room with a balcony that we booked, but that was due to Trip.com and not the hotel. The service at the hotel, especially in the bar in the evenings, was limited. The hotel was fully booked, and only one employee was managing the bar alone, with no table service, leading to a long queue. There were also waiting times at check-out. If you sat outside for breakfast, you had to clear your own dishes. The staff shortage seems to be a problem at this establishment too. Despite everything, we had a lovely stay and will definitely come back."

Hotel Ascot Bristol ★★★★
"The service was fine, and the staff were friendly. However, the hotel's location isn't very convenient for tourists using public transportation. The room facilities are also quite old; there's no air conditioning, and while the toilet was clean, the toilet bowl had a slight odor, probably due to its age, and there were stubborn water stains in the bathtub. Overall, it's still good value for money."

Inselhotel Potsdam ★★★★
"The island hotel-Potsdam is a well-being and is located in green surroundings, with access to the lake. The rooms are attractively furnished and very clean. It is a pleasure to take breakfast there, take a tasty dinner in the restaurant or on the beautiful terrace. The staff is very helpful and always friendly. My absolute favorite hotel in the surroundings of Berlin, since there is also my dog welcome. - M.L. in April 2025"
