The building was not thought to be used as a bath house, but as an ornamental building to be visited, showing a supposed roman character. In our visit (September 2022) it was about to be closed for restoration, which added charm to the premises.

This is the most beautiful, cozy and interesting historical villa that I have ever seen. If I lived at that time in past with my current tastes, or if I lived somewhere on an island in a warm climate, I would like just such a villa. Not more, not richer, but exactly this one. It's beautiful with everything ... except, perhaps, the one that it's old.
It has a very beautiful appearance and structure. Entrance through the grape arch, several stairs upstairs, a courtyard with a fountain, a small house that can be used for storage some things and garden supplies. And there is access to the big pond of park. Inside, on the ground floor, the bathhouse itself. Small but cozy, and several statues. On the second floor there is a small museum, instead of which I could make a small living room.
Although, in fact, there is nothing to do here, besides this small museum, I highly recommend to visit and look at this unusual place

On our way to charlottenhof palace we stopped at the baths which is situated by the edge of a lake form a picturesque group of pavilions which served as accommodations for the Kings guests. The pavilions are grouped around a lovely garden planted with colorful flowers, shrubs and vegetables. The bath house itself has a few rooms with a marble tub, pillars and a pool that is empty and covered with some sort of moss.

If your visit time to the park is limited, use it to see the main buildings and their gardens. The Roman Baths are a tiring 15 minute walk from the Orangerie with little of interest to see on that path. The grass on either side of that path grows wild under the trees or, when there is a clearing, the area looks like a meadow. So, a suitable setting for the Park's Roman Baths with its Tuscany colored exterior, vine covered pergola, and umber and red colored flowers in informal garden beds.
The gardens are free to look at, but an entrance charge is applied to see the room called Roman Baths. There isn't much to look at in the bathing area of this house which are located beside a pergola in the interior courtyard. Mosaic trimmed floors in this area are reminiscent of mosaic floors seen in ancient Roman villas. Black and white marble squares are also reminiscent of the flooring used in Roman baths. Presently 1 jade green tub stood in the middle of a room decorated with fluted columns and a grouping of Greco-Roman white sculptures on pedestals. A sunken pool with no water in it was also present to be used perhaps as a fountain. It looked rather grubby and high to be used for bathing. Wall decor reminiscent of scenes on Greek vases covered the walls with their black background color and scenes of mythological creatures enjoying water sports.
One room in the house was open. It had an exhibition of black and white photos. The room was painted all white and had no outstanding architectural features. The room smelled musty.
I entered this building because I had a Sanssouci Plus card; otherwise I would have just enjoyed the beauty of the surrounding gardens with a small lake at one side (no charge). These informal colorful gardens are different from the more formal green gardens surrounding the main Palaces.
The Roman Baths and Charlottenhof Palace can be skipped if time is short. Both are quite a distance from the main palaces at the main entrance. Both may not be worthwhile to spend the required entrance fee to view the interiors.
If you need to leave the park at this point, bus #606 leaves for Luitzenplatz and Potsdam HBF on the main street steps away from Charlottenhof Palace.

The imitation Roman baths in Park Sanssouci are fun to stop and see, particularly if you've seen any real ancient Roman baths. There are only a couple of very small rooms and a small inner courtyard garden, so it takes next to no time. It's worth stopping in if you have an S+ ticket and have a few minutes while you're exploring the gardens, but I wouldn't consider it a must-see.

To see a Roman bath was a highlight, but it's only 2 rooms and you're finished. Upstairs in the museum is an extensive display of German posters, but nothing in English though. We used our all inclusive 19 euro entry ticket, but would have been disappointed if we'd paid for a separate entry.

This building is undergoing some considerable renovation work, but it is interesting to look around and, at the moment, there is an exhibition of posters over the last several decades, advertising the special events and attractions going on throughout the Park. Some these are humorous, others are more ‘artistic’, but all provide an amazing insight into the evolution of the Park and its various buildings. It would be good to visit the post-renovation site, but I think it will be another couple of years before it is complete.

There are many historical palaces in the Potsdam park, this building is a departure from the luxury buildings, but a really nice hide away, reminding me of the Pompeii paintings on its walls.

The exterior reminded me of like a house you'd see in Spain or something but the interior houses a Roman bath. There isnt much to the place but its worth a Visit, because why not?

They are in ruins and not at all maintained. Nothing to see except walls that are falling off. Quite missable.
