Does the job

I stayed here for 2 nights and although it is very basic, the beds were comfy and the rooms clean. Only annoying downside is that you can't get Internet in your room, only the lobby area. But if you're looking for a cheap hostel in Potsdam, it's worth staying here.

Gut auch für Kurzübernachtung

7 Radfahrer auf der Durchreise suchten für einen Nacht eine Unterkunft mit Frühstück zu relativ normalen Preisen. Geboten wurde alles von der Duche im Zimmer bis zum warmen Abendbrot, ausreichend Getränke und eine gutes Frühstück. Alles war sauber. Es ist eine gute Jugendherberge in der Stadt.

Ok yöpyminen ohikulkumatkalla edullisesti

Simppeli mutta riittävä yöpymispaikka perheen kanssa. Huone ahdas ja sängyt saa pedata itse, mutta oma vessa ja suihku. Lakanat löytyy, pyyhkeet pitää olla omasta takaa. Aamiainen kuuluu samaan edulliseen hintaan. Ratikalla kätevästi keskustaan.
