This 4-star hotel works well for city-break couples, business travellers who want to walk to dinner, and families, as family rooms are listed. Pets also appear among its features.
Skip it if you plan to arrive by car and want everything included in the room rate. Guests find the room price reasonable but flag breakfast and parking as expensive add-ons.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits at Schlosskirchplatz 2. Guests describe a central old town setting close to shops and restaurants that still manages to feel quiet. The location score is 9.5.
The Wendish Museum is about 100 metres away, around a minute on foot. Cottbus Zoo is about 2.1 km in a straight line, roughly 26 minutes walking. That is manageable on a dry day, but real routes run longer than straight-line estimates, so check the walk on a map first.
What guests say
Across 1,421 reviews the hotel scores 8.3 out of 10. The two things guests mention most are the location and the breakfast.
Breakfast is a large buffet, and reviewers single out fresh waffles, gluten-free options and sparkling wine. The listed styles are continental and buffet.
The main complaint is about value. Room rates are seen as fair, but the cost of breakfast and parking surprises some guests. Check both prices before you arrive.
Price and how it compares with our other Cottbus picks
The reference price was €110.49 per night, about €221 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates. The figure matched the median of the hotels we sampled.
Listed facilities include a gym, terrace, family rooms, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Breakfast inclusion is not confirmed, and given the guest comments on its cost, it is worth checking.
Prices in Cottbus were tight across our three picks. Holiday Inn Cottbus by IHG, our Best Value pick, was €112 a night with the same 8.3 score. Best Western Plus Parkhotel & Spa Cottbus, our Luxury pick, was €106 a night with a 9.0 score. In the reference period that made the Luxury pick slightly cheaper, so compare all three for your own dates.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 3 eligible hotels in Cottbus. SORAT was named the Budget choice because €110.49 was the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice had been reserved.
On guest score it ranked joint second of three. Its strongest card is the address, with a location score of 9.5 and the Wendish Museum a minute away.
