Just what we like, good breakfast and a location near the center and train. We could walk to this lodging from the train in 20 minutes. Very clean rooms and helpful staff. This hotel has been recently remodeled so it has a new feel and an interesting history.

The hotel is an old but tastefully renovated building in a quiet cul-de-sac, on the south side of the city centre. The room was large and comfortable - once the heating really got going. It was -2C outside and it was only on the second of our five days at the hotel that we felt it was comfortable to sit... More

A former home for military families (150yrs ago), with large rooms, newly renovated, new washrooms, 2 minutes to the shopping- / town center. Great breakfast. Secured parking 1 min walking distance. Nothing bad to say against this hotel!! (no wifi, but you get a cable for free internet - bad for ipad users.)

We booked this hotel based on the TripAdvisor rating and we were not disapppointed! We arrived via car, and while there was a space outside the hotel (it is pay parking), they wanted to move the car into their reserved parking (added fee) for the night. We were dropping the car at a rental location, so we just paid for... More

Am Grossen Weissenhaus has an excellent location, in a quiet side street two minutes off the pedestrian streets and Potsdam's nice restaurants, 10-15 minutes from the wonderful and incredibly large Sanssouci Park and, by tram and S-Bahn a very comfortable 1 hour away from Berlin's attraction and life scene. The rooms are elegantly and comfortably furnished, with all necessary amenities,... More

a GPS is helpful in finding this location. However, having said that, it is only a 5 minute walk from downtown pedestrian zone (shopping [not a wide selection] and restaurants), and a 20 minute walk to Park Sanssouci. The hotel is located in a residential neighborhood, and appears to be relatively safe. Make sure you drop off your bags at... More

The hotel is located near the pedestrian area and all main attractions are within 1,5km. Anyhow,since Potsdam is quite small, it applies to 90 % of the city hotels. The hotel building is attractive and rooms are very big. Breakfast was decent bit with a very bad service: very few tables, we had wait for other people to end, self-service... More

A recently renovated 18th century building in the old town, formerly the hospital wing of a military orphange. Beautifully restored. Tastefully decorated, if rather austere. Within easy walking distance of Potsdam's major sights. Our room was very spacious, quiet and clean, and the bed very comfortable. A large TV, a writing desk and a comfortable sofa, limited hanging space and... More

We stayed here at the end of a trip through Eastern Germany and were extremely impressed. It exceeded our expectations. The room was large, comfortable and clean, the service was excellent , the breakfast buffet plentiful (a self serve cappuccino machine !) and the location was top. We would go back to Potsdam just to stay in this hotel!
