Our hotel stay was pleasant, but the best thing about the hotel is the free stamp on your key card that entitles you to free public transportation in Potsdam and Berlin, including the regional express train between the two cities! Management made us a gift of free sweets and bottled water upon arrival. The staff was attentive, courteous and efficient. Kudos to the barman and the young lady who made our dinner reservations for us (also great dinner and sight seeing recommendations). The location is perfect for sightseeing.
However, the hotel itself and some of the staff were not as nice as the hotel and staff at the Steigenberger in Stralsund. We had a standard room in Stralsund and a deluxe room in Potsdam, but Stralsund was better. The mattress in Potsdam was sagging towards the middle. The standard room in Stralsund seemed larger and better thought out than the room in Potsdam. Maybe that is why I liked Stralsund's Steigenberger better.
The breakfast was 11 Euros each with a large selection and well worth the money, but the free public transportation and location make this hotel a great value.
