The Schwaerzer Baer is torn between two epochs. On the one hand it is on the site of the eponymous inn where Martin Luther made an appearance in 1522, an event that is proudly recorded on a giant canvas as you enter the hotel. On the other hand, it more prominently bears the legacy of a socialist-era renovation that invites... More

Staff are friendly and helpful. They welcomed me with smile everytime when I come back. I stayed there for over ten nights. The room was historical. I liked fancy breakfast, and ate it so much every morning.

Disclaimer: I only ate at the restaurant in this hotel - I did not stay in it. My friend, who did stay in it said the breakfast, rooms and staff were all very good, but she found the bed a little uncomfortable. Anyway. This place looks very posh, and I suppose it is. They serve traditional German food, and it's... More

I stayed for two nights in a studio on the uppermost floor. I did not expect much, as I was told that this is a simple and a little bit old fashioned hotel. However, I was pleasently surprised to find such a tastfully decorated studio. The entire interiour is brand new and the room is very spacious. The location is... More

I was here for a week at the end of July on a course at the University. Room clean, beds comfortable, facilities basic but sufficient. I dont think I could have managed to watch all 50 some TV channels. The staff were very helpful, even providing me with a complimentary comb when I realised that I'd left my hairbrush at... More

Over here on business. Basic "traditional" rooms in hotel. Wifi to weak to work in room. Surprised no electrical adapters available in hotel and no leisure facilities. However, Jena is part of old East Grrmany and generally I have noticed big improvement since visit 3 years ago. Town is on the up and attitude of staff reflects this being helpful... More

Good rustic- style hotel with big, clean, comfortable bedrooms. A very good and varied breakfast spread. Free internet access. Staff OK. Not bang in the centre of Jena (around 10 minute walk) but very convenient for Uni.

I stayed for two nights. The hotel is spacious and old fashioned with heavy dark wood decor and sixties style (a radio clock in the bed ). The room was fine with a reasonable shower and bathroom. Heating was effective. The room faced the back and was very quiet, the single bed was quite comfortable. The room was a bit... More

This is an old property near the centre of town. It could due with some refurbishment as it look a bit tired. Room was clean but very small and laid out in a rather strange way. WiFi (at least on the top floor) is almost unusable. Staff were quite friendly and spoke adequate English. Apart from a quick drink in... More
