“Definitely 4-star standard in Jena's center”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2010

The hotel with more than 130 rooms and various conference opportunities is situated in central Jena. Due to the layout it is still rather quiet. It is modern, spacious and has a typical business flair (in my opinion rather similar to Hilton Frankfurt). Spacious room with view to shopping mall and Jentower, everything clean and in working order. Windows open partially. Bathroom with shower in bathtub; here too everything nice. Breakfast was abundant, good choice. Not extremely attentive breakfast staff, but we just took the missing silverware and coffee from the neighboring table where it was not needed anymore. Shopping mall integrated in the same building complex as hotel, all the city attractions in walking distance. Good weekend rates as well.

“Very Good Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2009

We found this hotel quiet, clean and elegent. Room was very comfortable.
Very centrally situated, only a few minutes walk from each station. Shops and restaurants within 5 mins walk.

The breakfast buffet was first rate with a wide range of food on offer.

Friendly Staff.

“Lovely hotel,”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2008

What a lovely hotel. I can't fault it. The staff speak better English than any hotel I have stayed in the United States. They are friendly and very helpful. The rooms are really good with a view (in mine) of the indoor market area. The hotel is amazing; it's a sort of hollow building so you can stand in reception look up and see all the rooms above you.
The gym is small but well stocked. The garage has a lift for cars how cool is that....
I would love to stay there again; I can't fault it.

“Esplanade in May 2002”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2007

A superior hotel!!! My mother, three sisters and I surprised my Aunt for her 70th birthday. My mother grew up in Jena. The staff was knowledable and more than accommodating even though I don't speak German. The vast breakfast buffett was so filling that we would skip lunch and find a fun place for dinner. The hotel's dinner was beautiful as well. The hotel is directly connected to a mall ouside the restaurant. Easy shopping!

Rooms were spotless. We had a suite with a very comfortalble king bed, more than big enough. The climate control was perfect as well as interesting to watch. The windows at the top of the hotel open hydraulically and pull the cool air through. It was centrally located and very accessable to public transportation and the college and local points of interest. My mother and two sisters will be returning in May 2007 for the 75th birthday celebration.
