You can sense the hand of history on your shoulder when you visit this spectacular palace set in the rolling World Heritage parkland of Potsdam's New Park. Churchill, Stalin and Truman met here in the summer of 1945 to thrash out the terms of Japan's surrender - and some say the decor hasn't changed since.However, I found the English country... More

Lovely place to visit. Rooms were decorated well for the time period of the Schloss. What was missing in our room was a safe, a decent sized TV, and an interior additional door lock for nighttime security. Food in the restaurant was good, but very gourmet. Just wanted a few normal choices as well. They needed better signage to find... More

The building is a beautiful 100-year-old palace, where the Potsdam Conference was held at the end of WWII. Most of it was converted to a luxury hotel 30+ years ago, and the accommodations haven't been updated since then. Furniture, drapes, and paint in our two rooms were worn. Bathrooms were small with cramped showers and no tubs. There's no elevator,... More

When we checked in, the receptionist was unfriendly and very rude . The property is very good and located well but needs some cleaning , Bath room floor was sticky and unclean. Overall I would not rate it all that great

Rooms were tired and average but it is really the historical building & pretty location you are paying for. Staff were very helpful & obliging. Must admit that we were quite annoying guests who gave the poor front desk guy a few challenges but he did them all with a smile great patience. BTW you can rent bikes for €12... More

Paid €110 for a single in June. Read earlier reviews and went with one backpack and asked for (got) top floor room facing courtyard. All staff very good. Slept very well. Very quiet and serene in hotel, and on the grounds after 6 pm. Large bathroom and good showers -- this building is almost 100 years old and has been... More

This hotel is a fantastic window into history. It was originally built by the Kaisers as part of their palace complex at Potsdam. Then in 1945 it was the sight for the Big Three Summit with Stalin, Truman and Churchill. The post war world was literally created here. You can visit the rooms that served as the meeting place for... More

Beautiful historic building were the Potsdam Conference took place in 1945. Set on the edge of "Neuer Garten" right by the river, it is very quiet once the visitors to the exhibition have gone. By car its no problem to get there but public transport means walking a bit. Also into city center. If you like german beer there is... More

What a fantastic, historic old hotel. After the crowd leaves for the day, the place turns into one of the most restful and gorgeous spots around - your very own Chateau! The food was quite good. Great place to stroll around. Just down the lake a bit (10 minute walk) is a great brew pub right next to the water.... More
