Filmhotel Lili Marleen was unfortunately the wrong choice for our visit to Potsdam. It is far from anything and it requires a bus and tram trip to the city. However, visiting Berlin by train was not a problem because of the short walk to the Babelsberg train station. There are not really any restaurants in the vicinity and the Filmhotel's own restaurant only offers a very limited selection for dinner. Breakfasts can be very crowded in the small restaurant and one often has to wait for a table. We had a major problem when there was an electrical problem in our bathroom - no light, hairdryer or extractor fan. It was reported to reception, but they did not do anything about it. They did not even offer us an alternate room or any other form of lighting. The hotel is basic and clean, but they won't see us again. Not good value for money.
