Located in Potsdam and within 0.7 mi of Sanssouci Palace, the ApartHotel Walhalla features allergy-free rooms with a small kitchen in each room, free WiFi throughout the property and a nice terrace...

Quaint hotel with charm but modern amenities Great location 3 minute to the old city center and to The tram to all parts of the city. It’s about a 15 minute walk to Sansoucci Park and all its palaces. The building dates back to the 1800’s with a cobblestone entryway. The staff was very helpful carrying our luggage up the stairs. I did ask for a bottom floor unit but didn’t realize that it was up 2 flights, so it could be a mobility problem. The king bed was very comfy with loads of room to spread out luggage. There is a small kitchenette if needed. The bath and shower were fine and the price was affordable. I would stay there again

FAQs about hotels in Potsdam

The Glory of Kings and Kaisers

Potsdam holds a pivotal place in German history. The country’s largest UNESCO World Heritage Site – Park Sanssouci – stands testament to the wealth of the kings and kaisers who once held court there. Yellow Sanssouci Palace is somewhat overshadowed by stepped gardens leading up to it from a fountain. A long path leads off at a right angle to the red-coloured New Palace, adorned with statues and a green dome.

Nestled in the intermediate grounds are the Italianate Roman Baths and Orangery, and understated Charlottenhof Palace. Trees hide the botanical gardens, while the gaudy gold Chinese tea house is unmissable. The park even has a grand train station and Dutch-style windmill.

Red gabled houses line the Dutch Quarter, and wooden houses characterise the Russian colony Alexandrowka. One of the city Christmas markets is in Weberviertel amid former homes of Bohemian weavers. Nearby, Filmpark Babelsberg is the world’s oldest film studio and Babelsberg Palace was a royal summer retreat.

In the New Garden by 2 of the city’s many lakes is half-timbered Cecilienhof Palace, where the historic, post-war conference between Churchill, Truman and Stalin led to the Potsdam Agreement and Declaration which shaped the face of Europe.

Booking.com’s Potsdam accommodation includes hotels near the Brandenburg Gate, old town guest houses and city centre apartments.

    Sanssouci Palace is wonderful, but quite a few bits of it are closed for renovation. If you can ride a bike, do so as the estate is very extensive. The Barberini art gallery is excellent, as is the Filmmuseum if you are into German film. Two days was just right for me to get a feel of the place before moving on to the glories of Berlin.

    We were there to visit family in Golm, and have been to Potsdam a few times. We used the train, buses, and tram; it was very easy to get around. We have been to Schloss Sansouci, which is beautiful. We also walked through a shopping district and the Dutch Quarter, and we went to the Biosphere which was very interesting.

    Lots to do in Potsdam. Worth more than a day trip. Sanssouci Park, Potsdam Museum, WWII history, Brandenberg Strasse. The Tourist info has a great app which covers the town and history with downloadable commentary. They have gone to a great deal of effort. We are glad we stayed 4 days and could have stayed longer.

    Potsdam is a work in progress.

    Potsdam is a work in progress. The town center suffered ariel bombardment in WWII, followed by shoddy post war reconstruction. I visited Potsdam to see the the ongoing restoration work in the town center. The work to date is impressive, and so too are the surrounding parks and palaces, in particular Sanssouci. Sanssouci, in itself, is reason enough to visit Potsdam. I spent several days exploring it at a leisurely pace and enjoyed every minute I spent there.

    I have visited many cities in Germany many times. I felt a different and beautiful ambiance in Potsdam. This is a very beautiful city that is clean, decent, and where history and nature are intertwined. If I were to live in Germany, I would prefer this city.

    A very walkable city with good transport links to Berlin ( a S- bahn train every 10 mins). Park SansSouci was worth seeing,. Lots of nice restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries everywhere. Easy day trip from Berlin although an overnight stay would allow more time for a relaxed stay and to take in all the attractions.

    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.

    The hotel was located right in between the old city and the palace gardens, two of the places to visit in Potsdam, and it was walking distance to both of these attractions. The staff was very helpful, friendly and professional, the breakfast was rich, and the room was very clean. I definitely recommend it.
