Hotels Near Museum Alexandrowka in Potsdam

A very nice hotel, both regarding location and design. The receptionist was very helpful, and even served in the hotel bar in the evening. Our room (apartment) was very good and very large. Only bad thing was that the room was in a section of the hotel without lift, so we had to carry our luggage 3 floors up. The room (apartment) was very well equipped, and certainly made for several guests at the same time (3 bedrooms). The room had 3 safes, and a huge double coffeemaker with a good selection of coffee capsules. It was WiFi at the hotel, but I did not test this. Breakfast was standard, quite alright. Parking for the car was in fact in a public parking cellar, but it was only 50 meters away from the hotel.

Have spending 10+ nights over 3 stays at The Mercure Hotel Potsdam City, I have to say it's a quaint hotel. It seems to be particularly liked by German retirees, the breakfast area is routinely full. The hotel is clean, reliable, the parking area is not sized properly, parking is not guaranteed and it does get hectic at times. The Customer Service tries their best, I had to tell couple of times for the check-in staff not to scream out loud my hotel room number (for safety purposes). I know they mean well. I was always recognized as a top-tier customer!

The hotel is very new, the room is relatively large, and there are many people staying. Breakfast did not eat, because it is very close to the train station, thinking about not wasting time But I don't know why, there is no standard double room, although the two beds are next to each other, but the mattress is separate, people who want to keep a little distance can not consider it.

Location directly next to the train station from where you can quickly get to Berlin or the center of Potsdam. Large, clean and fully equipped apartment. Despite our early arrival, we were checked in a few hours earlier

I booked this hotel for my husbands birthday and foolishly was taken in by the ”superior double” room as advertised on the website, allegedly there were tea/coffee making facilities and it boasted a wonderful view of the river. This hotel was poor, extremely poor, our room was awful ....... if you hung your head out of the window you could just about see the mosquito filled river. The following day I asked at reception about the ”superior double” room and that it did not fulfill our expectations only to be told (by an extremely unhelpful man) that the website was wrong and he asked me to show him which website stated the benefits of ”superior double rooms”, as it happened it was the HRG website (allegedly they are part of the group), although this clearly isn't advertised at the hotel, once can only assume that the hotel is that poor that HRG are now looking at losing this hotel within their chain. The food was poor, hot food wasn't hot and consisted of sausages and rubbery eggs which were freezing, although on a positive the vanilla yoghurt was lovely. I can't NOT recommend the hotel strongly enough ..... and don't even get me started on the closest train station which was scary to say the least. We did a bus tour around Potsdam and there are some lovely parts of it, overall our 4 night stay in Germany was poor, unhelpful staff, rude and unhelpful people, a note to travelers thinking of going, you have to pay to pee everywhere, lots of restaurants don't even have toilets and those which do will charge you 1 Euro, a lot of the self service toilets don't work and so you have to go to an awful toilet manned by a poor child (who clearly isn't happy doing his job)!!! On a positive and that's the only positive I can say about the hotel is that on the day of our checkout (note for the hotel staff) which was 6.30am on Monday 17th June when we were panicking about catching a train we were met by a helpful young man on your reception desk who understood that we were in a rush and so didn't ask us for any payment/further details (as we'd pre booked in advance) who we then met at the station having missed our train to the airport (as the trains from Charlottenof are erratic) he was extremely helpful and advised us we'd missed the train and did everything he could to ensure we caught the correct train (on the correct platform) an hour later, he even made sure we got a seat on the train (as my husband is walks with a stick), I cannot thank him enough and I hope that the hotel staff reading this review pass on our thanks to him, rather than posting an bog standard review thanking us for reviewing. Vienna House needs to post more honest pictures and not just sofa shots. An extremely poor hotel, please think seriously before booking, my advice .... DON'T BOTHER!!!!

The staff at the restaurant/at breakfast was unfortunately more concerned that the guest - goes back in time (at the entry I was told I would come 10 minutes before breakfast end. I shouldn't just say later that I wouldn't have known) - or not disturbed (my husband wanted lunch and there was no staff who took him. Therefore he placed himself on a unreserved table. The staff came and thought he was making everything wrong and couldn't sit there. Why and how he does it right, it was not just answered nicely. He may stay alone). A third not so nice experience: At request of the business center deposited on Trip.com to work on the laptop, my husband should pay 100 euros for 1 day - it was probably confused with a meeting room. The front desk was told at the reception that he could also sit in a empty restaurant. When he wanted to do this in the morning, the restaurant staff ignored it. Unfortunately, not such a nice stay for us.

We had a large room with large bathroom, fully fit for wheelchair drivers.We don't brew, but well know. Parking in front of the door and in the deep garage is positively noted, other hotels take extra money for a parking. From the price there is absolutely nothing to make, you get a proper countervail. The restaurant is relatively overviewable, the food card is also, but that is completely enough- Interesting the great choice of drinks, the cocktails and long drinks are very priced! There are no culinary elevations, but you don't expect that for the price. At breakfast buffet at 9.00, the fruit was all, you could have surely filled up. But besides us there was only 1 guest. It will certainly be better if the tourism comes back full of drive. Conclude: Thanks for returning.

Great hotel location, spacious rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable beds and very clean rooms. We were passing Berlin and were looking for one night stay. Hotel is very well accecible from highways. Kids loved spacious rooms and big comfortable beds. Special thanks to a very friendly receptionist for a pleasant conversation after long trip :)

Staff were nice and pleasant. Good part of town with convenient transport links. Room was spacious and light. Able to open windows to a leafy quiet street. Style of interior isn't that of a super modern hotel.. it feels slightly dated but kept clean and tidy. Only bad points for me is the pungent stink coming from the bathroom, which I can only put down to old plumbing/drainage systems. A quite unbearable sulferous whiff which reached a highpoint in the morning 'showering' time... The aforementioned windows had to be opened wide. Apart from that it was fine, okay for a short stop Didn't partake in any of the dining or breakfast on offer

Not a great start to my visit when I found my room was still in a state of chaos from previous occupants. I was given another room and settled in. The pillows were awful, with big lumps, and hollows; however the shower was great. The bed was very firm, which is not what I like but may suit others. Sadly despite double glazing the room was very noisy as it was first floor at the front directly up from a busy the road. The room, bed and towels were clean and the hairdryer worked. Probably wouldn’t stay again due to noise, hard bed and rubbish pillows… they made for four uncomfortable and broken nights.
