A very nice hotel in Potsdam.The breakfast leaves nothing to be desired, delicious rolls from the bakery, fresh fruit and a cauliflower cheese omelet were great. I particularly noticed the service at breakfast. Taha was responsible for this and gave me a nice start to the day with his attentive eye, his friendly manner and his quick actions. I'd love to come back. My tip: order your hotel parking space in advance! A public parking garage is otherwise 5 minutes away.

Friendly service, parking nearby, charging station for electric cars in front of the door. Right next to the city center, yet super quiet. Very clean, well-equipped room. I didn't have breakfast, so no judgment on that.

All in all a top hotel in the old town of Potsdam. The breakfast is especially great.Small negative points, see photos.Toilet paper holder on the other side. The bed a little further to the right... would be better.

Our room was clearly small and...nd narrow but clean. The breakfast, however, left nothing to be desired. Homemade jams and cakes, juicer, smoothies, fresh waffles, large selection of sausages and cheeses, salmon, crab salad... everything really tasty

My hotel for many years. Whenever the Castle Night begins in August, the hotel is my home for wonderful days.A great room awaits me and my many clothes, which hang safely in a walk-in closet. The towels are fluffy and give you a feeling of luxury...The beds are excellent and the best part is the morning breakfast on the terrace, your soul is on vacation here!

Cozy small hotel with a very good location in the center of Potsdam. Good breakfast with cozy courtyard. Minus on the sofa bed and unfortunately no AC in the room.
