5/5
I stayed in the Hostel for 6 days, and boy did I enjoy every last one of them! The rooms were well furnished and air-conditioned, the guest kitchen was clean and orderly and the main living room was well stocked with board games and books, like classics such as "Goose game" and Scrabble. We had two large double beds in our room, which was at the end of the corridor of rooms. The only complaints about the rooms could be the thickness of the walls, as they felt rather thin and noises could be heard quite easily through them, as well as the room's proximity to the bathroom, as the room was at the other end of the corridor from the bathroom, making a slight trek necessary to use the toilet in the night etc. However, despite these minor setbacks, my stay in the Hostel was, in general, great fun, and I was able to cook almost every night in the kitchen. Special features include the Beer vending machine, (1€ per 500ml bottle!) And the host of the hostel, Ralph, was an overall great and lovely presence when we saw him. Recommend this for any family who are looking for good value for money accommodation in Potsdam, and I WILL be back again soon.

The location is clean. But a bit overpriced. Only two public showers for all the rooms. The shower is immediately behind the toilet door entry without any privacy - that is quite strange. Also the owner could be a bit more friendly. Was in a big hurry. The walls are very thin, so you can hear everything what is going on in the other rooms. The wireless did not work in the evening - the next morning it was ok. For 70€ the night you can also find a hotel in Potsdam. The location of course is very nice - next to the big castle and also on a very quite street.

I came for a conference at the university nearby, and the hostel is really close (a 20-min walk, which is a very nice walk too). …

A chamber hostel in a quiet area, close to the Sanssouci Park and Palace - for us it was perfect because we planned mainly sightseeing. The room with the garden view was very comfortable and spacious. …

This was my first stay in a hostel. I was very surprised to see a family and many older people staying here. The hostel was very clean and in a quiet, beautiful setting not super far from the center of Potsdam (I had a car so I don't know how close it is by public transport or by foot). The owner? Ralf was very kind. There were 2 other people in my room and between one going to bed at 3:30 am and the other getting up super early, I got very little sleep (of course this was the luck of the draw and by no means the fault of the hostel). There was a tall skinny locker (my suitcase could not fit inside by my backpack did just fine) in the room and a lockable night stand cabinet. The bedding was very comfortable and I was given a towel. I had no trouble with getting a parking spot. I had an issue connecting to the WiFi but once connected, the speed was good. Such a beautiful area to be located in next to the SansSouci garden. I would recommend.

Excellent place to stay, an easy bike ride from Potsdam Altstadt, and within 500m of bus services provided you can navigate OK. Very well run by businesslike owner, clean, comfortable, with useful and well equipped kitchen. …
