Fair price for a hotel in a great location. The rooms weren't necessarily modern, but they were clean and everything from booking to checking out was super uncomplicated. We'd love to come back

It was a bit adventurous getting into the house.Unfortunately, it was not pointed out that the house is only suitable for those with sporting ambitions.But the location, right in the center of Jena, is ideal.

Actually, I could sue this juice shop for breach of contract. In March I was in Jena for a conference and had reserved a room here and confirmed this booking by email. When I arrived, they couldn't give me a room because they said I hadn't confirmed the booking. This is demonstrably false!!!In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't spend the night here after another conference participant told me what a dirty bar it was.

A quiet hotel that is getting a bit old. Nevertheless, the room was simply furnished but clean. The beds were comfortable and everything was ok in the bathroom too.The breakfast was plentiful, nothing was missing. We would stay here again at any time.

Hello, I spent one night here. The room I had was absolutely perfect for me, a small bathroom with a shower and a few places to store my luggage.Unfortunately, the television didn't work as well, maybe it was because it was running through 🤷🏼‍♂️I had breakfast there in the morning and had everything I needed. In the evening I was able to fill out a breakfast form and put it in a mailbox where I could choose the time I wanted and different types of bread and rolls, as well as toppings, etc. I would like to come here again if I need an overnight stay in Jena 👌The employee who welcomed me in the morning was very friendly and attentive, I didn't miss anything at breakfast.

This evening at six and thirty minutes I decided to visit the Gasthof zur Schweiz. And how should I describe it well? It was truly a feast. You could say it's an inn worth experiencing.. Highly recommended 👍👍👍😁I think we should build more of these wonderful inns... maybe just in nicer places...

For us a great hotel pretty central in Jena. For the price the hotel offered us everything we needed. We had a spacious room at the top (401) with everything you needed and a good bed. Of course you shouldn't expect a luxury temple, this wouldn't correspond to the price level either.You have to choose what you want for breakfast on a sheet on the day of your arrival. We find this approach very sustainable and targeted and easier for the operators to calculate than constantly buying everything and having to throw a lot away. The quality of the breakfast is great and offered us good coffee at the table and all the dishes served are of good quality and preparation.We would love to come back to this hotel.

After I didn't receive the email with check-in information, I called the inn. On the phone it was rudeness personified, who first demanded an explanation as to why I couldn't get to the hotel myself, and then condescended to give me the code to the key box in an extremely unfriendly tone. I felt anything but welcome!The room was very spacious and clean, although a bit old. It was fine for me for one night, I wouldn't have wanted to stay longer.The breakfast was OK. I liked the ordering system. At breakfast and check-out the contact was at least neutral.I wouldn't stay here again.

Men should be able to sleep cheaply here. Unfortunately, no one is available to check in at a late hour.
