Ibis Jena

The reception ear already very unfriendly and very unhelpful, the rooms incredibly simple and tastelessly decorated. A plastic wet room, in the sense of the word, as a bathroom. The breakfast in the simplest version and served little appetizing. The only good thing was the nearby underground car park,

I was lied to coldly by the receptionist The brochure in the room advertises that there are hot and cold snacks 24 hours a day. The usual paninis are advertised by the elevator. But I was told that no, there are never any snacks here and that the paninis are for breakfast.

The hotel is very centrally located on the Holzmarkt (tram and bus hub), about 10 minutes walk from the Westbahnhof and Paradiesbahnhof. The rooms are clean and spacious. Breakfast is of good quality. The Ibis Jena is also suitable if you are visiting Thuringia for a week and want to avoid changing hotels. The cities of Weimar, Erfurt and Gera are quickly accessible, so a short, spontaneous trip is also possible (it takes a little longer to get to Eisenach and the Wartburg, so it's a day trip). I will probably stay in this hotel again during my stay in Thuringia.
