Great location, almost in the city center, yet away from street noise. Delicious, varied breakfasts. The room and bathroom have everything you need.
Centrally located hotel with an excellent breakfast and very good service.
Not exactly cheap, but great location for the sights, quiet at night, friendly service, fantastic breakfast.
A beautiful building with a fascinating history! The rooms on the first floor are great, but those on the ground floor aren't so good, as people are constantly walking past the windows, and the bathroom is rather uninviting. Luckily, I was on the first floor and had a fantastic view and a comfortable room. The breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired. There's also a hotel parking lot, but it doesn't have enough spaces for all the guests. Otherwise, the parking situation on-site is rather inconvenient. The location is perfect. Walking to the city center or Sanssouci Palace is no problem.
We stayed at the hotel for three nights in a Quartier de Luxe room on the first floor. The hotel is centrally located on a quiet side street. The room was spacious, and we slept very well in the beds. The bathroom was simple and functional, but unfortunately, it lacked any storage space. We also missed having towel hooks at the sink. That was our only criticism. The room and bathroom were very clean, and the staff was friendly. The gated parking lot is about 170 meters away. We were glad we had made a reservation. We would especially like to mention the breakfast. It left nothing to be desired. In addition to the classics like cold cuts, spreads, quark, muesli, fruit, etc., there was salmon, salads, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, sausages, meatballs, and a variety of delicious cakes and other treats every day (e.g., grilled pumpkin with feta cheese, cauliflower and cheese omelet, croissant and cherry crumble, and smoothies). Orange or carrot juice could be freshly prepared. The breakfast staff was always present and kept a watchful eye on the buffet. We give it ***** for that. We would book this hotel again anytime.
Highly recommended! Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and large, clean rooms!
Highly recommended! We've been choosing this lovely hotel for the past five years because we love spending a few days in Potsdam at least once a year. The location is excellent, and many sights are within easy walking distance. We always feel very welcome at the Hotel am Großen Waisenhaus, and our stay with our small dog is no problem at all. The breakfast is absolutely fantastic. There's always a wonderful, appetizing selection...fresh and lovingly prepared. Of course, we've already booked again for next year and are looking forward to our next visit. 👍👍🌞
