The location is super close to the campus Griebnitzsee of the University of Potsdam, on a very beautiful lake. Also super close to the train station which can take you to Berlin or Potsdam centre. I stayed not on the main building, but in another one, however there is an underground tunnel connecting the two buildings which is very useful. The breakfast was really good and the restaurant locations is amazing. The buffet dinner also very good with a great selection.

Overall not a four star hotel, perhaps a three star. The carpeted floors both in the corridor and in the room don't smell great. Furniture in the room is quite old, and the window blinders cannot be opened because they are build-in the window in the middle of the double gazing! So if you are claustrophobic not ideal. One day I was sleeping and got woken up at 8.30am by the cleaning lady knocking repeatedly on the door because she wanted to clean the room! At hostels they would wait until 10am.... No complimentary water or coffee provided. I would have expected more value for money given the price paid (almost 200 per night!).

Warm, comfortable room with lovely lake views.Staff were very friendly and helpful.Excellent location opposite the s- bahn.Very comfortable bar area.We went in January so too cold to sit out on the terrace - will be fab in the warmer months.

We arrived late on a Monday night and restaurant and bar closed and no restaurants open nearby as it was out of season so we had to rely on a vending machine. Tea and coffee facilities in the room would be a thoughtful addition.

Helpful, English-speaking staff. Nice breakfast. Great location 30 seconds walk from Griebnitzsee station. Highly recommend. (I accidentally booked the wrong Potsdam Seminaris hotel and was able to cancel free of charge within 24 hours of my stay and rebook the right one - thanks Booking.com).

The rooms mini fridges have apparently all been switched off. Pity as we like to use it.

The room was new, comfortable and clean. The breakfast is better than many hotels; the coffee was nice. The restaurant of the hotel was near the river. So it has a wonderful view. The location of the hotel was very nice. I was attending a conference at the Uni of Potsdam, so it was the best location for that.

Nothing.

Modern hotel overlooking lake across the road from S bahn station which is about 10 minutes from Potsdam and 30 from central Berlin. Quiet surroundings with balcony. Very extensive good breakfast. Good value ( was low season ).

Confusing emails requesting online check in and payment through a third party. Had already paid and this apparently has been a problem with some guests paying twice

Very good location, very helpful staff, clean and nice room, great breakfast. I was able to borrow mobile charger from the reception without any hassle. Also, If you decide that you do now want your room cleaned, they give you a chocolate. Those are little things that make a difference.

Nothing to complain about

Our room was right on the lake! Very peaceful. The outdoor dining area faced the lake as well.

We had originally booked a suite plus and assumed it was on the lake. When we arrived, we learned the room was across the street in the 2nd building and the lake view was through trees. We asked to change rooms to something directly on the lake. It was a smaller room but was on the lake. Unfortunately, because we booked through booking.com we had to pay the suite plus rates. This was not the property's fault; rather it seems to be the small print with booking.com.

Setup of the room with a door between the "kids area" and the parents room. Location with roof balcony was great. Breakfast was big and very nice set up. Loads of options!

Didn't like the carpet floor - this is not up to date anymore. Also the breakfast staff was partially rude and not very service oriented - and I speak about management - level Staff! Don't forget about who is paying high prices!

the staff!!! specially an international girl who was always super helpful (I believe from South America), even when another member of staff made a mistake with my airport shuttle, she solved it straight away, so I could make it to the airport on time. On top she always had a smile for you! :)

Very good continental breakfast. The hotel is organized in 2 buildings, easy access. Close to the University and HPI, close to the train station and a supermarket. You can take the

The weather...?! Distant from the city center, but you have the train.
