Top hotels in Nördliche Vorstadt
Dorint Hotel Potsdam
Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz
Great hotel. Friendly staff. Wonderful food. Ideal central location with Alexanderplatz station only minutes away, but the hotel is very dated, thin walls meant I could hear everything being said in the next room which didn’t help when they had a screaming child. The hotel also has a room cleaning ...
