Best Western Hotel Jena

10/10 Excellent

"Fui a una capacitación por trabajo, hotel muy bueno"

Limehome Jena Teichgraben

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located in the center of Jena, right next to tram and bus stops, a supermarket, restaurants, pharmacy, etc. Beautiful views of buildings built in 1800s and the modern Jena Tower. Within 10 min walking distance to many destinations, such as the Zeiss Planetarium, Observatory, cathedrals, etc. Very clean rooms, spacious bathroom, fast internet."

Dorint Hotel Esplanade Jena

10/10 Excellent

"In the downtown"

Hotel Adler

10/10 Excellent

"When I originally booked my stay, comments from previous guests described the decor as old and outdated. I found the opposite. The building is old (German poet Schiller once stayed there), but the room was modern throughout with walk in shower and staff very professional and polite. Breakfast was very good, and the hotel is right on the market square in the heart of the city within easy walking distance of everything. A farmer’s market is in the market square in front of the hotel several times a week as well as a stand with Thuringian bratwurst. A tourist info center by the market square next to city hall (Rathaus) was very helpful. I highly recommend the Adler Hotel in Rudolstadt."

B&B Hotel Jena

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, great staff and cheap parking."

MAXX Hotel Jena

8/10 Good

"Rooms need either air conditioning or better ceiling fans. When it gets hot, there is no way to get proper airflow. If you open the windows, the insects will come inside your room. Please also add a microwave to the rooms. Shower was clogged with hair and the water could not evacuate. I had to unclog the shower otherwise the water level would have risen and gone into the bedroom area."
