★★★★ 8.6 (113 reviews)

"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."

Hotel Ascot Bristol

Hotel Ascot Bristol

📍 Asta-Nielsen-Straße 2, Potsdam
★★★★ 8.1 (111 reviews)

"Located in the Drewitz district, it's conveniently close to the motorway and offers excellent tram connections (trams run every 10 minutes). The rooms are very spacious, even if they aren't the most contemporary in style. Daily housekeeping is still provided here. Breakfast is excellent and offers everything you could wish for. The service is also very good. The restaurant 'Journal' is highly recommended for dinner."

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 "

Inselhotel Potsdam Hotels in Potsdam

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"

Hotel Villa Monte Vino Hotels in Potsdam

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."

Hotel am Katharinenholz Hotels in Potsdam

Hotel am Katharinenholz

"Here you are welcomed with a cozy white dog on red tape. A beautiful unexpected reception. The binding atmosphere will then continue with the service and the friendly and hearty treatment of the guests. A excellent breakfast offer with coffee from the machine or filter coffee, some varieties of honey, marmelade, fruit etc. all available to strengthen yourself for a few days of visiting program. Restaurants and bus stops are close to. Sanssouci is even accessible by a longer walk. Rooms and safe are pleasantly large with deposit facilities. For garden friends, the thought-protected idyllical barrier garden of Karl Forster is to visit nearby. A absolute recommendation to a fairly cheap price."

"The room is on the first floor of another building, and there is a glass door facing the outside yard in the room, which feels unsafe. Boys can live."

Dorint Hotel Potsdam ★★★★
"The surroundings are relatively quiet, the room is clean and tidy. Two people checked in, and there was only one pillow and a small quilt at first. After calling the front desk, it was delivered quickly. Compared with the Holiday Inn I stayed in a few days ago, the elevator does not require a card, which is not safe enough, there is no electric kettle, and no USB charging port. So although it is a four-star hotel, there are areas for improvement in management details and decoration details. I guess it is also because it is quite old."

Hotel am Jägertor ★★★★
"Excellent location for visiting all that's interesting, in Potsdam, with a pleasant view from our room on the front of the hotel...the efficient double-glazing blocked out any noise from the traffic. It is close to recommendable restaurants and shops and the trams and buses are accessible within a short walk. The hotel is well maintained, tastefully furnished and all areas are kept clean at all times. Our room was comfortable, again interestingly furnished and the heating/air-conditioning worked well. We appreciated the room safe and the complementary bottled water, which was replenished every day. Both the breakfast room and the bar area were light and airy...and had it been warm enough, in the morning, we would certainly have sat on the delightful garden terrace. Breakfast was not included in our booking and at first. threatened to be rather expensive for us vegetarians who usually start the day with just fresh fruit and yoghurt; however, the variety of food offered, here, ranks with our top 3 favourites and we were tempted on all five days of our stay. Really impressed to find such a good selection of fresh fruits, roasted vegetables, soya yoghurt, vegan patés and particularly an incredible selection of proper loose-leafed teas, rather than teabags! Service was professional and friendly and displays were replenished regularly. Nevertheless, a hotel stay is all about staff and service and the staff, here, deserve a special mention. From our arrival until our departure the service was faultless in every area. Every query or request was dealt with immediately, efficiently and in the warmest of manners. Special thanks to Stefan, Tony, Marcus, Michael and Katryn for making our stay such an enjoyable one and we look forward to visiting again."

Hotel Ascot Bristol ★★★★
"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! 👍🏻"
