Be warned: this is one of the few hotels in modern Europe that permits smoking. The top and the 3rd floors are smoking floors, and the odour permeates throughout, as you would expect. Quite unpleasant (I was on level 8 - still a strong smell) Staff were powerless. Very little soap and no toothpaste, as you would expect from a... More

This was my second occasion to stay in this very big hotel placed among the beautiful lakes, the parks and the City. This strategical location makes it ideal for any need: touristic interests or business travelling. The hotel is very large (high tower), arriving is easy and the nearby parking helps to make the arrival easier. Personnel at the reception... More

I spent two nights in this hotel during my business trip. My friend told me that the hotel was bad and advised not to go there. But I booked my room few weeks earlier and I decided to go there. And it was a good choice. The was not so expensive and the value was so good. And the best... More

Beds were comfortable with good bedding and pillows. Was very clean but bathroom difficult to move around in as very small, with toilet and shower. Best thing of this hotel is the buffet breakfast, although expensive we felt was worth it. Even fresh-squeezed orange juice available to juice your own. Buffet filled with fabulous items and coffee very good. Large... More

I stayed for 4 nights in the Mercure whilst at a conference in Potsdam. The hotel is situated about 5 minutes walk from Potsdam train station (which is part of the Berlin S-Bahn network), and the shopping centre that is built around the station. It's also about 10 minutes walk into the centre of Potsdam itself. This location means it's... More

Location are very good, hotel/rooms are ok but then problems. Cleaner visit everyday but never change our sheets, dusty tables etc. So customer pay but live dirty room. Some improvements are new toiletpaper (now thin and hard) can't use... then hope hotel has some umbrellas for customers and scale to bags when leaving airport. Hotel reception was nice and everything... More

Some said that it could be noisy, but I did not find it noisy, I was on the 8. floor and could open my window, great view, but someone on the 11.floor could not open theirs, so check this out if you sleep with an open window. The Restaurant downstairs was ok, big, ok breakfast, the conference facilities where a... More

I stayed here for four nights while attending a scientific meeting in Potsdam. The hotel was built during East German times, but has recently been renovated, and you would never know from the modern rooms. The ventilation was very quiet, there is an HD TV, the bed is comfortable, and the bathroom is modern. The room was not very big,... More

I would like to warn travellers about booking at the Mercure, Potsdam unless they want to combine it with a rave at a techno disco which is in the Palm Tent next to it. Even though on 11th floor it was impossible to sleep - at 4.00am rang reception to ask when the music might stop - no answer. The... More
