Hotel in zona R & M, Potsdam

The moment you enter the hotel, you're greeted by an inviting team of staff and trendy atmosphere. The interior design is modern yet cozy, with stylish furnishings and well-thought-out lighting that creates a vibrant yet relaxed ambiance. Whether you're looking for a quiet corner to unwind or a lively spot to socialize, dorint has it all. my challenge was getting spa services during afternoon hours. All in all its strategically located

I booked this hotel for my husbands birthday and foolishly was taken in by the ”superior double” room as advertised on the website, allegedly there were tea/coffee making facilities and it boasted a wonderful view of the river. This hotel was poor, extremely poor, our room was awful ....... if you hung your head out of the window you could just about see the mosquito filled river. The following day I asked at reception about the ”superior double” room and that it did not fulfill our expectations only to be told (by an extremely unhelpful man) that the website was wrong and he asked me to show him which website stated the benefits of ”superior double rooms”, as it happened it was the HRG website (allegedly they are part of the group), although this clearly isn't advertised at the hotel, once can only assume that the hotel is that poor that HRG are now looking at losing this hotel within their chain. The food was poor, hot food wasn't hot and consisted of sausages and rubbery eggs which were freezing, although on a positive the vanilla yoghurt was lovely. I can't NOT recommend the hotel strongly enough ..... and don't even get me started on the closest train station which was scary to say the least. We did a bus tour around Potsdam and there are some lovely parts of it, overall our 4 night stay in Germany was poor, unhelpful staff, rude and unhelpful people, a note to travelers thinking of going, you have to pay to pee everywhere, lots of restaurants don't even have toilets and those which do will charge you 1 Euro, a lot of the self service toilets don't work and so you have to go to an awful toilet manned by a poor child (who clearly isn't happy doing his job)!!! On a positive and that's the only positive I can say about the hotel is that on the day of our checkout (note for the hotel staff) which was 6.30am on Monday 17th June when we were panicking about catching a train we were met by a helpful young man on your reception desk who understood that we were in a rush and so didn't ask us for any payment/further details (as we'd pre booked in advance) who we then met at the station having missed our train to the airport (as the trains from Charlottenof are erratic) he was extremely helpful and advised us we'd missed the train and did everything he could to ensure we caught the correct train (on the correct platform) an hour later, he even made sure we got a seat on the train (as my husband is walks with a stick), I cannot thank him enough and I hope that the hotel staff reading this review pass on our thanks to him, rather than posting an bog standard review thanking us for reviewing. Vienna House needs to post more honest pictures and not just sofa shots. An extremely poor hotel, please think seriously before booking, my advice .... DON'T BOTHER!!!!

Purtroppo, l'hotel ha i migliori anni. Le donne pulite non sembrano potersi prenotare e distendere. E la mancanza di servizio è scusata con la mancanza di personale. Dopo un breve periodo di pioggia e poi un bel tempo, l'area esterna non funziona più. (Dichiarazione: nessun personale per lavare le sedie) Tuttavia, pochi membri del personale sono per lo più molto amichevole e preconveniente. Mangiare ... naja .... Per questa categoria di prezzo si può aspettare qualcosa di diverso. La grande offerta di colazione e la stessa offerta ogni giorno lasciano passare il desiderio di un bel giorno di inizio. In generale, è molto peccato che si abbia l'impressione che questo oggetto si muova lentamente davanti ai cani. Finalmente .... La prenotazione di una stanza su qualsiasi fornitore online (si ottiene l'informazione che la prenotazione diretta non è possibile quando si chiama in hotel) comporta prezzi estremi. 240€ per una notte, con un colazione che lascia davvero i desideri, è in ultima analisi solo triste.

Great hotel location, spacious rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable beds and very clean rooms. We were passing Berlin and were looking for one night stay. Hotel is very well accecible from highways. Kids loved spacious rooms and big comfortable beds. Special thanks to a very friendly receptionist for a pleasant conversation after long trip :)

Ho vissuto in hotel molte volte, tutte le strutture, progettato moderno e colazione ricco. La posizione geografica dell'hotel è buona, vicino alla Stazione Dalem Dof e alla Stazione U3, vicino al supermercato Rewe. Il museo asiatico dell'altro lato è stato trasferito al Forum Humboldt. Il nuovo museo non ha ancora aperto il museo, non lontano è il giardino vegetale. Ma questa volta, la prenotazione di Trip.com non è buona. In ogni caso, la ricezione non può trovare l'ordine di Trip.com, solo un check-in è un minuto.

By the time this incident happened, I have already completed a 4 days stay in the hotel and was willing to increase my stay. For that purpose, I went to Mrs. Hausweld and asked to please consult the availability and the price of the rooms for extra nights. In response, I was told that the final price, including the city tax for 3 additional nights would be 350 euros with breakfast included. Consequently, I was willing to go along with that reservation and requested to pay by card. Afterward, then Mrs. Hausweld offered me the POS terminal to go along with the payment, and the amount ascended to 419 euros. Due to that unexpected difference, I kindly asked for an explanation and was told that 419 euros were the final price, and if I was not happy with it I would need to leave the hotel immediately. As a result, I kindly refused to pay that amount and asked her to please consult the price for two nights instead of three. In response to that, the front desk manager told me that no more rooms were available for me and that I needed to check out now and leave the hotel. Following that conversation, I went on Booking.com and reserved a room for the same days, without breakfast, and surprisingly rooms were still available. Next, I went to the front desk and asked to please pay for my booking Mrs. Hausweld looked at me in an unfriendly manner and told me she could not find any reservation. After 5 minutes of searching, she could finally open my booking. Then, although I already provided a credit card in my booking, she asked me to show it to her because she was not believing that it was not mine. I answered that the card was in effect mine and offered her to have a look, but it did not have any numbers on it. So she got ahead to request me to write down my credit card details, including the CVV code, on a piece of paper as ”a security”. Afterward, I was asked again by her if I would like breakfast or not, despite I selected the no breakfast option on booking.com. A moment later I was offered the POS terminal to pay by card, which stated an amount 30 euros higher that the price I booked the room for on this site. Due to the reoccurrence of the same, previous situation again, I refused to pay and respectfully asked her why the price was higher again. Mrs. Hauweld answered in a very disrespectful manner that I asked her to have breakfast included and that I was confusing her again. After that situation, I kindly asked them to speak with her supervisor. She answered, that she had no supervisor and was the only person working in the hotel for the whole weekend. That experience left me in complete disbelief of her professionality and her being in that important role in the hotel. However, despite that bad experience with that particular staff member, I would like to note that the other front desk managers were very friendly and helpful at all times.

Ho soggiornato in questo hotel in occasione della fiera ITB. Hotel fatiscente la categoria ufficiale dovrebbe essere 2 stelle sarebbe più corretto ! La prima stanza che mi è stata assegnata era di un degrado imbarazzante. Moquette lurida bordi del letto rotti bagno sporco e piccolissimo 2mq c.a) a questo punto mi sono fatta cambiare camera e mi hanno assegnato un terzo piano sempre con moquette sporca tende macchiate e rotte, ma almeno il bagno era più grande ! Stanza minimal senza una bottiglia d’acqua ( oramai la danno anche nelle pensioni) un set per farti un the ,un paio di ciabatte NULLA. Ho chiesto di parlare con il general manager e mi è stato risposto che non è presente in struttura e capita ogni tanto ! Non mi stupisco che non ci sia un controllo ! Ho pagato 920 eur per 4 notti naturalmente prezzi alle stelle vista la fiera e non era previsto nemmeno un servizio di shuttle per gli ospiti per raggiungere il polo fieristico . Io mi chiedo come si può approfittare delle persone in questo modo ? Il lavoro nel settore alberghiero conosco bene le dinamiche di un hotel questa struttura dovrebbe chiudere e fare un grande restauro oppure passare ad un 2 stelle come categoria. Un addetto alla reception in confidenza mi ha riferito che sono molti o clienti che si lamentano. C’è un turnover di personale assurdo in 3 gg ho visto 8 persone diverse alla reception forse scappa anche il personale come non capirli. In ogni caso bassa professionalità ed attenzione per l’ospite nulla. Vi sconsiglio vivamente di soggiornare in questo hotel a meno che non ve lo propongono a 50 eur a notte ed è già tanto. Devono solo vergognarsi questi non sono imprenditori e non sanno nemmeno cosa significa Ospitalità.

While Hotel Villa Kastania, Berlin, is generally a good hotel, I can't recommend it, due to the rude behavior of one of the reception clerks. This behavior spoiled the atmosphere and ruined my mood for my short stay (1 night). This guy (young, with a French beard) was not very courteous and serviceable from the moment I got there. After realizing the hotel has no lobby where you can sit and work with a laptop, I asked to do so in the dining hall (my room wasn't ready yet). He approved, but said I should be sitting next to a Coffee table rather than next to a regular one, as ”the hotel is fully booked and people are coming for breakfast”. Since you cannot really work next to a low Coffee table I asked to sit on a regular one, explaining that people never all come to have breakfast at the same time. He did not like it (and expressed it and his tone) but I did, and guess what - the dining room was almost completely empty the entire morning! But the really severe behavior on his part happened a bit later on. I went out to have Coffee outside, telling the nice and polite waiter of the (empty) dining hall that I'm storing my laptop aside but leaving my charger and mouse on the table, since I'll be back to work there shortly. He approved. When I returned, the reception clerk started talking in a really rude, impolite and improper way to me, almost shouting at me, about how I shouldn't leave my things ”In the restaurant”. I explained that I left it because I was going for a short while, but he continued accusing me of acting the wrong way, as if as a first time guest I have an idea of the hotel's code about leaving things here on there. Even when I told him that I informed the waiter about this he did not calm down. He only calmed down from his raging behavior when I snapped back at him, telling him that he has no right speaking to paying customers like that, that he can't expect a client to know his made up arbitrary rules and that even if someone does something wrong - there's a nice and polite way to point that out, especially when your job his to serve him. A paying client should not be treated like a young kid getting reprimanded by a hotel clerk, who clearly doesn't like his job, doesn't know the meaning of service and has no patience for clients. I NEVER ran in to this kind of behaviour in any hotel I stayed in. Only after talking back to him in this fierce way he started to behave more politely towards me, but he never apologized. During check-out, when he asked if everything was OK and I responded: ”Yes, besides your behavior yesterday” he did not apologize. Therefore, I do not recommend staying at Hotel Villa Kastania, Berlin. A place that employs someone like this, who clearly doesn't know how to treat customers - is not a good pick.
