Dorint Hotel Potsdam
The room was very clean but the furnishings were more for function than comfort. The bed was a bit too low to the floor and firm for my back, but thats a personal issue- it may be just fine for many others. The staff was amazing and the buffet breakfast was fantastic. The restaurant was not open ...

Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin
Beautiful hotel, fabulous front desk staff. Comfortable bed and great bathroom. My only complaint is the cleaning staff didn’t ever refill the coffees and creams, give us clean cups or wine glasses, and didn’t remove our dirty room service dishware, it was a bit odd for a hotel of this level.
