The spa area is really nice. You can relax by the pool on different kinds of lounge chairs and beds. There are several saunas to choose from. The breakfast with 22 Euros is good value for money. It was delicious and a good sized buffet.

Hotel Am Jägertor, hotel in Potsdam

This elegant, 4-star hotel in the Old Town of Potsdam offers free Wi-Fi, soundproofed rooms, creative cuisine, and a conservatory facing the historic Jägertor gate.

This was our second stay. We travel widely and this is perhaps our favorite hotel anywhere, better than many so-called 5 star places - pleasant, small, modern, comfortable (including good softish beds), great attention to detail in the room design and amenities, and good location. Very helpful English-speaking staff. We cannot comment on breakfast since we tend to rise late and the streets opposite offer a range of alternatives. A truly excellent hotel.

FAQs about hotels in Potsdam






The Glory of Kings and Kaisers

Potsdam holds a pivotal place in German history. The country’s largest UNESCO World Heritage Site – Park Sanssouci – stands testament to the wealth of the kings and kaisers who once held court there. Yellow Sanssouci Palace is somewhat overshadowed by stepped gardens leading up to it from a fountain. A long path leads off at a right angle to the red-coloured New Palace, adorned with statues and a green dome.

Nestled in the intermediate grounds are the Italianate Roman Baths and Orangery, and understated Charlottenhof Palace. Trees hide the botanical gardens, while the gaudy gold Chinese tea house is unmissable. The park even has a grand train station and Dutch-style windmill.

Red gabled houses line the Dutch Quarter, and wooden houses characterise the Russian colony Alexandrowka. One of the city Christmas markets is in Weberviertel amid former homes of Bohemian weavers. Nearby, Filmpark Babelsberg is the world’s oldest film studio and Babelsberg Palace was a royal summer retreat.

In the New Garden by 2 of the city’s many lakes is half-timbered Cecilienhof Palace, where the historic, post-war conference between Churchill, Truman and Stalin led to the Potsdam Agreement and Declaration which shaped the face of Europe.

Booking.com’s Potsdam accommodation includes hotels near the Brandenburg Gate, old town guest houses and city centre apartments.

    A very walkable city with good transport links to Berlin ( a S- bahn train every 10 mins). Park SansSouci was worth seeing,. Lots of nice restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries everywhere. Easy day trip from Berlin although an overnight stay would allow more time for a relaxed stay and to take in all the attractions.

    Before I list the pros & cons, it is important to note that this review does not reflect Germany as a whole or other cities in Germany. I have not met Germans from other major cities so I simply cannot compare what I saw; however, my review is based on pure observation, and my intention is not to give a collective opinion about a specific nation. Pros: The city is very clean and organized, hospitals are all over the place, and finally the stores, restaurants, and shopping areas are great. Cons: You have to understand that this city is not for tourists at all. It is crystal clear that it's full of locals and it will be very rare to see any tourists around. The locals (who made it clear to us on several occasions are not in need of tourism), many of them see visiting tourists as a burden and not a blessing. Mid-aged to old Germans are non-English speakers, and young Germans are (it's fascinating how a full generation knows one language and the other doesn't). If you stop someone on the street to help you out, they rarely will go out of their way to do so. Germans lead private lives, it is an individualistic culture, and they get paid high wages so do not expect them to want tourists anywhere around their cities and neighborhoods. It is also clear that the majority do not care what type of impression international travelers have about their country. They see themselves self self-sufficient and that is the most polite way I can summarize my visit. I hope this review helps, good luck.

    The park is lovely to wander around, with grand palaces, beautiful gardens and art galleries to visit. The town centre and Dutch Quarter are worth visiting and also the Cecilienhof where the Potsdam Conference is definitely worth seeing.

    Lots to see and historically all very interesting with beautiful palaces. Plenty of restaurants/ cafes and shops to wander about. The centre is flat and manageable. The Potsdam bus is a good way to see it and get around. Staying in Potsdam has a more relaxing ambience than Berlin, but a day trip to Berlin and the hop on/ off bus there is within easy reach, if you research the links beforehand.

    I mostly enjoyed Sanssuci park where I spent many hours in total bliss. did not have much time to visit the rest of the city. I found out that most of the restaurants did not have menus in English and for the most part, waiters did not speak English and were unwilling to assist. One even said to me, "we don't serve tourists"! it is easy to get around but not easy to get information in languages other than German.

    Ideal for walking around. I visited the central places like the Sancousi Palace and Cecilienhof Garden. My hotel was also well suited to visiting the House of the Wannsee Conference, which I went to on my last full day. This is really worth visiting.

    We were traveling by train and needed to take the an S-bahn from the main Potsdam train station. Thank goodness for the signs at the wretched S-bahn station which pointed us in the right direction to the hotel. The actual hotel is situated right on one of the lakes in Potsdam. It was late when we arrived and we ate dinner at the hotel restaurant which was fortunately still open as there aren't any other choices in the area.

    This is a fantastic hotel, perhaps the best-equipped hotel we have stayed at. We traveled as a family with three children, and the rooms were simply amazing with a view of the bay with boats. The staff was perfect. The hotel is in the best location you could ask for in Potsdam, within walking distance of all the important centers of the city. We highly recommend this hotel.

    The hotel is located in the Babelsberg area and I like that the theme reflects the area’s rich film heritage. The breakfast and wifi are both exceptionally good. Apart from that, the hotel is a few hundred meters from a bus stop, very convenient. The S-bahn with a direct link to Berlin is only a 7 minute walk from the hotel.

You have numerous restaurants and cafes nearby and are within walking distance of the palaces of Sanssouci & Babelsberg, 500 hectares of parkland, numerous lakes & waterways, all surrounded by endless forests.

    In many ways like stepping into another time, but at the same time having all modern necessities including being able to block out the noise from Berliner Str. when this is desirable. We have stayed in almost 10 other places in Potsdam, but this beats them all. Will definitely return to "Alte Fritz".
