In Jena for business, and this property was recommended. Clean, modern ammenties, restaurant and bar on-site. Other businesses are a bit of hike, but if driving this is very convenient hotel with plenty of free parking.

The hotel was okay, but it would have been nice to know, that the restaurant was closed. There are not many restaurants in the area. The receptionist told us, there was a supermarket not far away from the hotel! Well, that supermarket closed at 20:00, and we were there at 19:55. We managed to grab a bag of bread and a few slices of ham.. Nice dinner after a long drive from Udine in Italy! The breakfast the next morning was nice though.

I loved the amenities. And it's quiet and clean.

This is a big friendly cheap hotel, it is a little dated but we were travelling and needed a one night stay for which it was perfect - it is conveniently located only a few minutes from the autobahn

The hotel is far outside of town (that often comes with the free parking). We picked it since it was said they have a restaurant so we don't need to go to town. The restaurant was closed. When asking why the response was just "closed". The price is not high and consequently the hotel is quite worn down. Otherwise OK but not more.

Unfortunately my family and I were very disappointed with our stay. The air con in our room was broken and we spent the one night there battling to keep our baby cool enough. We were also disappointed with how unclean and unkept the room was. Plus the one site restaurant was closed as was the one site bar (both were meant to be open). The receptionist was friendly and did lend us a fan but couldn't offer us another room nor a discount. Very disappointed overall.

The hotel is located a 10 min walk from the last tram stop so you can go downtown even despite the location of the hotel. If you travel by car you'll appreciate the big car park outside. Hotel and interior are a bit dated, but everything was clean and the bed was ok. Breakfast was ok, but not overwhelming, and included scrambled eggs, bacon, salmon. Spent two nights while visiting friends, would consider going there again.

This is a very quaint hotel. We enjoyed our stay. The facility could use some updating.

Hotel is an excellent value. Location is away from downtown Jena but for business - I highly recommended it.

As far as Best Western Hotels go, this must be one of their better ones, as the rooms were clean and to a good standard! Double bed was comfortable, and reasonable size, rooms were quiet and I slept well (or else Germans are more considerate of fellow guests). I had difficutly connecting to the wifi, and ended up having to spend 30 minutes or so configuring and changing various things with the network settings of my laptop - I don't have to do this anywhere else. Also there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room - everything had to be ordered from the bar. I needed a camomille tea (always bring my own travel pack of herbel teas) but had to explain what I wanted at the bar and order the tea rather than just get hot water. Breakfast was mostly good, catering to European and US tastes. Location is remote but bearable if you've got a car, or can figure out the public transport.

A very comfortable room, well furnished. The one complaint I would have is that the duvet wasn't quite big enough for the bed, but I made do. The facilities were otherwise excellent. The staff was friendly and very competent. The hotel card allows free travel on the Jena tram and bus system, which is very convenient. The restaurant food was good but not much choice for vegans (which I am).

The hotel is clean and if you get a room that is not on the road side but the side facing the hills and gardens, the rooms are quiet. However, the rooms are small and I had to upgrade to one of the modern rooms to get a non smoking one. The modern rooms are considerably more pleasant. The hotel is a tram ride from town so if you don't mind being on the outskirts, it isn't a bad choice. But it isn't very charming and given that Jena is a charming town, I would recommend finding a place to stay that is more central.
