PP Pension Potsdam

Well, as an already Potsdam resident I picked this place for one night only for the price. I had an expectation due to all other comments and as a result nothing was surprising.Pros:- Price: It is unbeatable. I made the reservation on internet and the price was almost half of the nearest price.- Location: If you are visiting Potsdam as a tourist, it's location is really good. It may be located on one of the very few "hills" of the flat city but you can reach to all the important points and transport in a 5 to 7 minutes of walk.- Parking: The place doesn't have its own garage or parking area (they don't even have a Pension sign outside, which I will come to that in a minute) but the street and surrounding streets almost always have free parking spaces which is not very common in Potsdam.- Rooms space & sound: Since I have seen only one room but regarding my room and all the other comments, yes this place has really big rooms and lovely high ceilings which makes the room feel bigger. Regarding the sound, this can be both pro and con. Since the building is in a very quiet street, it is really really quiet. But since the walls are not thick or the doors have so many gaps, you can easily hear your next door snoring in your room.Cons:- Rooms: Rooms are old. All the furnitures, carpets, wardrobe are all old. Which can be ok if you think that the building is as well old so one can say all together it gives a rustic feeling. One would be right AND wrong because of the dust. Spiderwebs. Spiders. Since I got so used to spiders and webs as a Potsdam resident but you are expecting a bit more cleaning when it comes to carpets, wall corners etc. So if you have a dust allergy or overall cleanness is high priority, you may think twice. My room had a window in the toilet which I can not open so... :/- No service: literally you see no one. When you are checking in a lady greets you. Many mentioned in reviews about her not being too polite or friendly and after all these years I can say she is actually friendly and polite BUT she is from east Germany. My German friends and colleagues thought me the attitude differences. So if you are not used to the attitude, yes you can find it a bit unfriendly. Anyways, don't expect some hotel service, no one seems to even care who is coming or leaving. As I mentioned above, there is no sign at all. You need to know the exact address and when you look at the ring outside the building, there you see the pension name and a number to call if you arrived.So as a summary, if you are ok with quite a large room that you can use to stay for one or a couple of nights in a good location for a very good price, and don't have high expectations on topics such as cleanse and hotel level service amenities, this is your place.If not, you can book somewhere starting at 3 digits per night.

The location is excellent if you plan a lot of sightseeing. The rooms are rather basic but clean and comfortable enough for a short stay. Only about 5 min. to walk to Sansoucci, very quiet location. …

We were pleasantly surprised with Pension Potsdam. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and very spacious. …

This was a disappointing pension. I will point out the good points first so as to be fair. If it's Park Sansscouci you want to visit (as we did), the location is great - you can easily walk to the park in 15 minutes. …

Pension Potsdam is a really pleasant place to stay. It is located in a very quiet area. It is close to all Potsdam attractions (near Park Sans Sousi). …

The location is very good, we just took about 5 min. to walk to Sansoucci , very quiet, we slept incredibly well and the breakfast was something special. Wonderful friendly hosts, a beautiful setting and garden to relax in . Everything was absolutely brilliant!

I agree with everything Chiquitin has noted about this fine, little hotel. I should have remembered our room number so you could ask for it when you book, but it was huge, clean and even had a small balcony. …

Good place and the breakfast is ausome.

Nice, building and neigbourhood. Excelent breakfast.

Excellent location next to Sanssouci park and the palace. The atmosphere in the holiday houses is like home, everything is there. I was more impressed by the breakfast. It took place in a neighboring house. Wide variety of fruits, cheeses, etc. And they prepared an omelette for me upon request. I’ve never tried an omelet like this, with slices of ham and herbs. And every day I ordered it, it was included in the price of breakfast. Breakfast buffet.
