No hot water for 2 out of 3 days. No response to my e-mail. Not very clean - hair everywhere on the floor, the toilet lid fell off and it’s very clairaudient. Super unsafe as the main door was sometimes open in the evening/night. Not worth it.

This hostel has neat rooms, kitchenettes and toilets. It is quite decent and affordable. It has many rooms that can accommodate those planning a vacation for a group of 25 to 30 or maybe more. The first floor has a nice balcony view and the hostel is very close to the city centre, tram station and not too far from the train station.

Nice small hostel in the centre of Jena with a well equipped communal kitchen and friendly staff. Check-in and out were easy, annoying that we had to pay extra for bedding though! Otherwise very cheap! |Quiet and suitable for families, friends, solo travellers or business trips.

A nice clean hostel with friendly personnel. Central location. Plenty of bathrooms and WC, didn't have problems with them. Good choice of meals during the morning's buffet. WiFi free and very fast. A small disadvantage: there was no writing table in my room, but it is not a critical point for a leisure traveler.

Noise from floor below was audible via the heating radiators. We were able to hear a crying child. Breakfast did not seem to be available.
