Hotels near Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Jena

Steinberger has three main problems. One is that it is diffuclt to find. There is no sign a the tinted black rolling glass doors, så you would not know that this is actually a hotel (later we found out that there is a sign 12 meters up in the air, where nobody can see from street level. Second problem is the layout of the building: you have to change elevator on third floor to go further up - very confusing. Third issue is charching of electric car. I had booked beforehand and recieved a token to open for electricty. But when I came to the basemanet car park I found that another car was occupying the only (!) charger. I was explained that this was also used by the shopping centre. In that case you cannot reserve for clients. Even more aburd was the fact that I was told a price of 5 Euro, but whnén I told that car was a Tesla the price was 12 Euro. Why electricy for a cetrain brand is more expensive that for other brands is just incomprehensible. Roons are quite small and there is no electric cooker. At 170 Euro per night ii is very overpriced.

The hotel is located in the middle of a 1960s high-density East-German-style housing district with a very 1990s-architecture, room furniture style reminiscent of a 1980s American Marriott (kind of faux-elegant), and movie decorations and photos from 1940s Hollywood with Bogart et al. (why, you may ask, Hollywood in Jena? Zeiss cine lenses?). In addition to being unspecifically dated, the hotel could also simply use a fresh coat of paint ... but: everything was clean, the personnel was super-friendly and helpful, the breakfast was plentiful and started at 6:00 (very accommodating for early risers!), the shower was nice and hot, and I had a very, very good-night sleep. The hotel is also close to a tram stop, supermarket, pharmacy, etc. In addition, we had a conference dinner there, which was a good-quality buffet with a variety of options, including vegetarian ones. Overall, a very good stay.

Beautifully located, close to the center (20 minutes walk). Comfortable, large building, parking. Large, comfortable rooms equipped with water heater! Large, clean bathroom . Very comfortable, large bed. Very diverse breakfast buffet and delicious coffee (very important for us). Nice service in reception and restaurant. I recommend!

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the apartment was a good size for two, would work well also for a family with small child/children using sofa bed in lounge. Really great supplies in the apartment like scissors, paper towel, baking paper, a good oven. The location is great, the lift is handy, the little balcony was a lovely place to sit even though it was cold. The bed was comfortable, good water pressure in the shower. Slight negatives: no kettle. No one seems to like supplying shampoo anymore and all these large squeeze bottles or pumps of soap are a bit depressing but common. Sadly for us due to Covid the restaurant wasn’t open so I can’t comment on it.

乾淨整潔，很有特色的酒店。

Wir haben uns wieder auf die Spuren deutscher Geschichte gemacht und sind dieses Mal nach Weimar gekommen. Das Hotel konnten wir über Personights buchen und hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Der Empfang war herzlich und das Zimmer top ausgestattet - es ist alles neu und gut durchdacht. Das Frühstück war zwar übersichtlich, jedoch für unsere Belange völlig ausreichend. Die Damen vom Frühstücksservice waren sehr liebenswert. Der junge Mann, der abends die Bar schmeißt, hat uns gut beraten und konnte uns auch überraschen. Schade, dass wir spontan früher abreisen mussten. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert und die Gegend sowieso!! Vielen Dank an das Team!

I stayed at the Labyrinth Hostel for four nights and wish I could have stayed longer! I felt very much at home there and especially welcome thanks to the friendly staff. I was in an eight-bed dorm with one to two other people so enjoyed generous amounts of space. For me the bed was comfortable and I slept well with no disturbances. The common areas were great for chilling out and chatting with other guests (both outside in the yard, and inside in the kitchen and dining area). Good selection of books in the book exchange. Kitchen was fine for preparing simple meals. Location of hostel great for seeing the sights, right by the historic centre of town. You can't park directly by the hostel but there is plenty of parking just a few minutes walk away. As for Weimar, definitely a great place to visit - important historically and especially if you are interested in Goethe and Schiller! Also liked Erfurt and especially Jena - nice towns in very attractive surroundings.

a very nice hotel, in the center of Weimar. Polite and helpful staff. Room was splendid, Breakfast was great. I hope I’ll come back one day. and they have these little cards with quotes from Goethe, Schiller, etc. it‘s a nice touch. there‘s no room service

Location, lovely restaurant and great staff I booked because it’s right opposite the train station ….. but this hotel is so much more. Often ‘right opposite the train station’ means you are sacrificing something in terms of appearance and slight seediness for the convenience - but not here ! It’s a lovely old hotel (with a nice history), restored several times over the years, with a particularly impressive glass-surrounded restaurant for all meals. Location - as well as being on a pretty square right in front of the train station it’s less than 10 minutes’ easy straight line walk from the museums and the historic old town. There are plenty of nicely located hotels in the centre too by the way - just not as good for train access. The hotel restaurant is a real delight. Go for the breakfast buffet with some of the best prepared hotel bacon I have ever come across - crispy, fat-free and warm - plus all the usual egg, cereal, fruit salad and bread options. Standard coffee good German filter not espresso (though that’s available at the bar); orange juice average. Supper was freshly cooked smallish choice (these do go hand in hand, of course) - have a look at the menu in advance and if there’s something you like the look of eat here, quality is excellent. Staff very friendly; rooms moderate size, very clean, toiletries provided (shower gel and shampoo, no lotion or conditioner). Large non-leaky showers. You can claim a free snack if you forego your room servicing (!) ….. Rooms are non-smoking but they provide a smokers’ lounge for *******. To be recommended.
