Hostel Jena, hotel in Jena

Offering a quiet location in Jena city center, this hostel is located just 3117 feet from the historic Botanical Gardens.

Always clean, but depends on the other guests. This time, the guests were all very nice and well-mannered, so I had a very comfortable stay. Best of all, it's cheap for a nice property.

Internationales Gästehaus, hotel in Jena

The Internationales Gästehaus is quietly located on the edge of the Jenaer Forest. Free WiFi is offered.

it is a good value for money. it is a silent and distant place, hard to get to and find after 9 pm when buses only go every half hour. I had to walk all the way from the centre and it was a truly epic journey. when I got to my room, there was no towel - a very unpleasant surprise!

Labyrinth Hostel Weimar, hotel in Jena

This 24-hour hostel is located in central Weimar on the Goetheplatz Square. It offers quiet rooms, free Wi-Fi internet access, and a large rooftop terrace.

No question, this is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in; staff are wonderful and the facilities are fabulous, but it’s the atmosphere and the sense of welcome really makes this place stand out.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Frankly, this was the poorest hotel experience in a long time. it wasn’t a four star hotel but felt more like a youth hostel. No restaurant or any other services. Room dusty from nit being used. Not even a mini bar to feed yourself. It wasn’t quite clear why the service level was so restricted. Staff said because of covid but next door hotels were running like normal… honestly if you cannot provide a certain service level you should close temporarily rather than luring people at a good price but with high risk of disappointment…
