Hotels near Apollo the Archer, Potsdam

We were in July 2024 for a night at Hotel Villa Monte Vino in Potsdam. We had a junior suite. This was very generous and very clean. We had luck and we just got the last parking at the e-loading station. The difficulty was, however, that we had parked forward and that was too short of our cable. In the courtyard to turn, it was not possible and so it was just to go out and control the load column backwards. The hotel is very centrally located, the attractions of Potsdam we could easily reach walking. Breakfast was attractively arranged and offered a good choice. The staff were premature. We liked it all.

Wir waren mit Kind und Hund im Dorint Potsdam. Ohne Hund hätten wir wahrscheinlich ein anderes Hotel gewählt, aber wir wurden nicht enttäuscht! Gerade mit Hund ist die Gegend optimal, da es drumherum einige Grünflächen gibt. Das Hotel an sich ist schon etwas älter, leider spiegelt sich das auch in den Zimmern wieder. Überall Teppichboden, was ich in Hotels grundsätzlich nicht leiden kann. Anstatt Dusche gibt es eine Badewanne mit seeeehr hohem Einstieg. Trotzdem war das Bad in Ordnung für uns, es war sauber und es gab reichlich Handtücher. Die Möbel (Schrank, TV -Schrank ) waren qualitativ hochwertig und moderner und vom Platz her ausreichend. Für unseren Sohn gab es ein durchaus bequemes Klappbett. In anderen Hotels musste er schon für den vollen Preis auf der ”Besucherritze” schlafen. Die Minibar ist leider nicht gefüllt, Getränke gibt's in der Bar. Hier vermisse ich definitiv einen Getränkeautomaten, wenn man so schon nichts dort kaufen kann. Zum Abendessen: Hier sollte man aufjeden Fall in Potsdam was essen und nicht im Hotel. Das Büfett war ”gewöhnungsbedürftig” - auch andere Gäste am Nebentisch haben sich negativ darüber geäußert. Man konnte wählen zwischen Vorspeisenbüfett (ca 10€) , Hauptspeisenbüfet (ca 15€) und dem kompletten Vor-/Haupt/Nachspeisenbüfett (ca 30€). Wir haben nur das Hauptspeisenbüfett für 15€ gewählt : es gab Kassler & Sauerkraut, Fisch in Senfsauce, Kartoffeln/Schupfnudeln/ Spätzle. Das war es auch schon. Geschmacklich gab es nichts auszusetzen, auch wenn die Spätzle und Schupfnudeln schon vertrocknet waren ( als aufgefüllt wurde, war aber alles schön frisch). Das hätten wir uns tatsächlich sparen können und wären besser nochmal kurz in die Stadt gegangen... Nach dem Essen haben mein Sohn und ich noch den Spa-Bereich aufgesucht: das ist wirklich schön gemacht! Hell ind freundlich, ordentlicher Pool, Liegen und genügend Handtücher! Auch die Duschen und Umkleiden waren modern und einladend, obwohl ich die getrennten Umkleiden (Männer/Frauen) vermisst habe. Entweder gibt's keine getrennten, oder ich habe es nicht gesehen. Da wir alleine waren, hat es uns nicht gestört. Der Pool ist bis 22 Uhr geöffnet, was ich eine gute Zeit finde! Sauna/ Fitness-bereich haben wir nicht angeschaut. Die Nacht war ruhig und angenehm, kein Straßenlärm oder grölende Gäste auf dem Flur :-) Das Frühstücksbüffet war sehr gut!! Das hat auf jeden Fall für das Abendbüfett wieder entschädigt! Es gab wirklich alles und die Qualität war durchweg gut. Wir waren allerdings schon um 6:30 Uhr dort... wie es später bei mehr Andrag aussieht, weiß ich daher nicht. mDer Hund durfte verständlicherweise nicht mit in den Frühstücksraum, so hatte man uns einen Tisch auf der Terrasse reserviert! Ansonsten zum Beispiel bei Regen hätten wir auch in der Lobby frühstücken dürfen (laut Aussage des Concierges). Hund im Zimmer lassen geht leider nicht, da man die Türen nicht abschließen kann und unser Hund sich die Türen öffnet.... Bei einer abschließbar

Probably due to my IHG Ambassador/Platinum status I was upgraded to a spacious Junior Suite/Handicapped Room on the 7th floor which was just great. The only thing that puzzled me was, that the bed was not next to the bathroom, but right when you walked in next to the kitchenette, whereas the seating area and dinner table was next to the bathroom. Was there a mix-up when placing the furniture? ;-) Other than that, everything was great again: bedding, breakfast, location. Just a relaxing stay at an affordable price!

The hotel is very new, the room is relatively large, and there are many people staying. Breakfast did not eat, because it is very close to the train station, thinking about not wasting time But I don't know why, there is no standard double room, although the two beds are next to each other, but the mattress is separate, people who want to keep a little distance can not consider it.

Breakfast is average, the room is clean and parking is very convenient. The location is also good, half an hour walk from the Summer Palace, there is a large shopping center next to the hotel. Overall still quite satisfied!

Unfortunately, the hotel has the best years behind it. Putting women seem not to be able to book and stretch. And lack of service is excused with lack of staff. After a short rainfall and then again beautiful weather, the outer area is no longer operational. (Say: no staff to wash chairs) However, the few staff are mostly very friendly and premature. Eat ... naja .... For this price category you can actually expect something else. Great market sauce and every day the same breakfast offer leaves the desire to a great start of the day pass quickly. Overall, it's very bad that you have the impression that this object is slowly going before the dogs. Finally .... Reserving a room via any online provider (on the call at the hotel you get the information that direct booking is not possible) leads to extreme prices. 240€ for a night, with a breakfast that really leaves to wishes, is finally only sad.

Unfortuntalely, we didn't manage to use the hotel for the purpose we came for. We booked this hotel in the nature to be able to rest, but the weather was extremely hot and there was no air-co in the rooms, so it was not possible to stay in the room at all. There is a cozy restaurant in the hotel which we wanted to use instead, but it was closed because of lack of staff.. We asked if we can just use it, without the need of any service, but that was not possible. In the end we couldn't use the hotel and had to look for another cafe around, which ruined our overall experience and made us not like our stay. There was an annoyance with the cleaning staff as well, that decides to clean your rooms at 8:30AM. Yes, 8:30 in the morning you will hear a knock on the door that will wake you up and ask your room to be cleaned. Afterwards, we hanged a do not distrub sign, but the maid still insisted on cleaning our room, went inside and opened our curtains which made the room very hot when we were back. Keep in mind that even though the hotel has some nice chill areas, you will NOT BE ABLE TO STAY IN THE HOTEL, so better look for an option where you can actually chill in the hotel, if that's your goal. Location is good at the river and next to the S station. Breakfast is pleasant.

We had a large room with large bathroom, fully fit for wheelchair drivers.We don't brew, but well know. Parking in front of the door and in the deep garage is positively noted, other hotels take extra money for a parking. From the price there is absolutely nothing to make, you get a proper countervail. The restaurant is relatively overviewable, the food card is also, but that is completely enough- Interesting the great choice of drinks, the cocktails and long drinks are very priced! There are no culinary elevations, but you don't expect that for the price. At breakfast buffet at 9.00, the fruit was all, you could have surely filled up. But besides us there was only 1 guest. It will certainly be better if the tourism comes back full of drive. Conclude: Thanks for returning.

Worst Service i have ever experienced. Hotel was pre paid through 3rd party booking service, upon arrival in the Self check in counter I had to pay for the full reservation again. Since it was late and we needed our room I chose to pay and deal with it later. When confronting the front desk I was met by 2 arrogant guys who couldn't care less to help with the problem and told me that they only had an invoice from the 3rd party booking. I showed them my mastercard transaction and said that they could check the Lobby camera to see that exact time on the check in day I would be in the lobby entering my card details on the Check in Ipad but no help was provided. Afterwards I contacted the Hotel through website with no response so I have just been left with paying twice for a hotel room. I am for sure never using Seminaris ever again.
