A wonderful place to stay economical and a silent and calm locality. Beautiful view from the windows overlooking the mountains on one side and overlooking on the city and valley town of Jena from the other rooms. Great quality of beds and very clean - well maintained rooms. Comfortable mattress. Large windows with curtains. Private bathroom option available. Not sure if the property is wheelchair friendly. Huge parking space available right at the front of the building. Close to Hochschule. Away from City.

I had a very pleasant stay for ten days. The room was lovely, clean and peaceful. The staffs were nice. The English speaking man at the reception was super friendly and welcoming. He also helped me with my heavy luggages and to order food online when I arrived. Breakfast was decent.The only problem is the location of this guesthouse; it's quite isolated. I would highly recommend this place for short stay.

The place was adequate. For the price you get what you get. However, i was there with some school mates to finish my MBA so luckily there were some good friends to make the experience OK. …

The main positive here is the price - it will be the cheapest private room you'll find anywhere near the city, and the location, whilst not central, is still good. …

TL;DR: Good for the first time to find something better.Don’t expect here luxury 5-star hotel with a spa. It used to be a student dorm, it is still a student dorm (at least partially). There are rooms with and without amenities (WC, shower). There is one common bathroom (5-6 showers) and one common toilet per floor. (I suppose there should be somewhere girls WC). WLAN is very fast. Breakfast is +5 euro extra. It was ok, but there were some days, when previous leftovers were served once again. There is also laundry (3 Euro) and a kitchen with a stove, a microwave and a fridge.Advice: if you book it on-site, the price should be slightly less as via Booking etc.

Rubbish hotel, the food is disgusting, the place is horrid. We were promised a room with showers etc, nobody ended up having a shower in their room. The staff are unfriendly. And the WiFi is absolutely crap in our room. …

Thankfully upon arrival here I had the use of a car, because there are no train, tram or bus stops near the hostel, which is situated on the edge of town and surrounded by countryside. …
