Very Good

As a couple on a few days stay at this hotel it had some pitfalls due to it being really a business hotel with a conference facility. The room was excellent, the staff were excellent as well (especially Reception) but when hordes of business guests arrive/eat/drink in the hotel it gets not very holidayish for us! Overall probably 7 out of 10 as Reception were so good at providing advice and tickets (yes Tram/train tickets) . Parking a bit pricey at 24Euros a day , but it was underground and secure. Location was excellent on the lake and the exterior bar gave great views over the water and many chairs for relaxing in. The Tram stop is just outside and takes you into Potsdam - a very nice town .
We had a very bad experience (also due to some bad luck, so our overall rating is better than our particular experience, which would only be 1 star). In detail:
Good: The staff we interacted with tried to be helpful and the hotel has a cute huge teddy bear in the entrance area. Also, the room was clean at least.
Bad: The hotel appears to be far away from 4 star standards. Minor issues include boring, uninspiring, small-ish rooms; lack of toothpaste (but sewing tools??); TV lacks settings (or they didn't work, it was way too bright when we watched the CL final in late evening); small shower; only two usable towels (for two people); pillows very low (although we realized later that other pillows would have been available in the lobby).
The main issue for us was that we only booked the hotel to have a good night's sleep before a sporting competition in the early morning. However, we only had a terrible and short night because the room was uncomfortably hot as the AC didn't work; the duvets were way too thick (in particular for summer); necessarily keeping the door open to the shared balcony created noise (actually frogs were very loud the whole night) in addition to a potential security issue. Staff brought us a fan in the middle of the night which helped somewhat. I realize that these problems would not be as severe during winter.
Our price of EUR 144 plus EUR 22 for breakfast (which we skipped to get a bit extra sleep in the cool morning) was absurd.

Leider war der Sauna und Wellnessbereich am Abreisetag nicht wie vorher telefonisch avisiert geöffnet.
Sauna öffnet ab 10:00 Uhr. Abreise ist 11:00 Uhr.
Spa area is beautiful and peaceful. Nicest stainless steel pool, I have ever seen. Property is extremely clean. Breakfast buffet is amazing, so many healthy options. One of my best hotel experiences. Highly recommend, very affordable.
Die Lage des Hotels ist ruhig und schön. Der Wellnessbereich ist sehr gut. Das Essen im Restaurant ist ziemlich schlecht. Das Frühstück war nicht im Preis inbegriffen, obwohl es bei der Online-Buchung inbegriffen war, und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war ziemlich schlecht. Das Restaurantpersonal ist sehr freundlich.
The room I had overlooked a very noisy area where people drinking and shouting meant that the windows had to be kept closed in the evenings. This left the unairconditioned room very hot and uncomfortable. Staff were helpful, friendly and courteous. Meals were good with a variety of choices in their “Lemon” restaurant.
Great hotel. We needed a place to stay in the middle of a road trip. Our dog was with us and to take him out was a long journey. The hotel is huge and very spread out. This could not be our choice again.
The staff was friendly, hotel was generally clean and it was a good location for a conference.
The room was too small even for a cheaper room for a four star hotel. My room was a bit stuffy and smelled like cigarettes. I didn't complain cause the hotel was full anyway and the staff had enough to do, plus I was only staying for two nights.
It felt more like a 3 star hotel rather than 4.
Overall decent experience
This property is quite a distance from Berlin if you are using it as a base, but is a short walking distance to the bus, train and tram stops.
The hotel itself is well-represented and friendly despite its large size.
We did not use the fitness facilities or have breakfast but I believe an improved fitness facility will be opening next year.
We had a meal in the bar one evening which was good quality. The atmosphere in the bar was great and service friendly.
Nicely situated for lake and public transport. Excellent room and breakfast. Large number of bikes for hire but all city bikes, not trekking. Restaurant was expensive but bar snacks were very good and affordable.
We were not told in advance that leisure facilities were closed for renovation.
