My room faced the river which was a bit noisy due to the students going to the bars and early morning construction on the bridge. Despite that, the rooms are spacious and airy, just wish there were more USB outlets for electronics. The service was excellent, very helpful and accommodating. The location is super convenient, perfect for downtown Potsdam, right off the main road with charming surroundings. The dining experience was top quality, fresh foods worth checking out. A few minor downsides but overall a lovely stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed but faced the noisy river, with disturbances from students and early construction noise. The lack of USB outlets was a downside. However, the service was professional and friendly, making our stay pleasant. The location was convenient, offering a lovely view of the river, but the noise levels from the street were noticeable. The dining experience was enjoyable with reasonably priced, fresh food. The facilities were adequate but could use some improvements.

I woke up to the lively energy of Potsdam each day, enjoying the clean and tastefully decorated rooms. However, the river-facing room was a bit noisy with student activities and early bridge construction. The hotel's service was top-notch, with staff going out of their way to accommodate our needs and share local tips on dining. The location was superb, offering great views of downtown Potsdam and convenient access to restaurants and bars. Although the dining experience was outstanding with high-quality dishes, the noise from the river could be a downside. The facilities were well-equipped to ensure a comfortable stay.
