"Hotel am Potsdamer Strasse" Hotel Am Potsdamer Platz Tip by diocletianvs

This is a small hotel on Potsdamer Strasse, some 10 minutes walk from the Potsdamer platz. The area is not specially charming (there is a prostitute stand few blocks down the Potsdamer strasse) but it's centrally located and does not feel unsafe.

The hotel itself offers basic rooms with own bathrooms for reasonable price. We paid 70 Eur for a double room, plus we got a discount for reserving online. They charge extra for breakfast and although it is maybe a bit pricey the breakfast was excellent - they even had salmon and a caviar which was a bit strange for a hotel of this price range.

Unique Qualities: The biggest plus of this hotel is definitely its location and affordable prices. The staff was helpful, rooms were clean and breakfast was good. On the minus side is a bit dodgy surrounding area, "Dalmacija grill" restaurant on the ground floor (I won't go into details) and plastic ducks as decorations on breakfast tables. Oh yes, there were also some "decorative" colorful plastic fish hanging from the ceiling in the breakfast room and a small zoo of plastic animals from the nearby Turkish "Everything for 50 Cents Shop" decorating the windows. Old German ladies seemed to like that though.
