    Apparently best house in Jena and worth the price!

    The bed under the cover was not clean! I was a bit irritated as I had to walk with my luggage around the building because the elevator access was not available from the garage because of vandalism, which is certainly not the hotel´s fault.

    The view from my room and the breakfast room (29th floor) was stunning! Nice interieur and a super central location in the middle of Jena. Breakfast was nice and fresh, they offered fantastic coffee!

    The bathtub was dirty and with the damaged cover. The shower drain wasn’t working - water didn’t go away. No minibar and room service. The minibar box on the floor demanded the German ID to buy drinks, so it wasn’t possible to get them in the night 😀

    Beautiful city, location and great view from the 27-th floor. Very good breakfast. Interesting room lightening and equipment. Comfortable bed and pillows

    Fantastic view, modern hotel - feels like you are staying in a Bond villain hideaway!

    It is very difficult to find, unless you happen to walk in on the correct side of the building, which is otherwise a shopping mall and office building with no suggestion that there is a restaurant on the top floor. Given the price point, I would have expected tea/coffee facilities of some form to be available and preferably in the room, but there were none.

    The location at the centre of Jena was fabulous and the views from the windows were unbelievable. The rooms are large, with large windows and modern facilities. The air conditioning was excellent, even during a heatwave.

    I didn't expect 29 floors in Jena, so it was really cool to sleep on the 27th floor. The Restaurant is super stylish and the food really really great. Staff is very friendly and the view a real experience.

    i think that the restaurant is very expensive compared to the dishes the serve, in addition,I had to pay 20 Euro just for the breakfast indeed the view is amazing, but that doesn’t justify the price

    clean hotel, nice view

    Breakfast was 25€ - I would have taken it if it had been less expensive.

    Great location in the centre of Jena and, especially, great views of the city from the room. Innovative design and comfortable.

    We didin't know how to open the door to enter the corridor? They seem to be automatic but we really couldn't open then I don't know why.

    The electronics in the hotel room are total overkill. I had to look for the light switch with the flash light of my mobile phone and even then it was not clear how to control the light. There is no simple switch for anything, everything is hidden behind symbols and multifunction keys. One feels a bit like a prisoner. The blinds don't really keep the light out.

    all rooms are up high in the very ... "modernistic" tower and i had a fantastic view. Also the hotel is in the city center and everything is right in front of it, this is great.

    This hotel is not 4-star. It advertises On-site Parking, which it doesn't have. The closest private parking is 200m from the tower and you have to pay. The check-in reception on the ground floor was confusing and not luxurious. The optional breakfast is Euro25 which is very expensive. The hotel is trading only on the good reputation of the restaurant.

    The view from the tower is great.

    Very poor hotel The hotel has like 17 rooms and there no lobby, there was no one at reception, no info NOTHING It is def not a 4 star hotel, doesn't even have a place to sit outside your room.. no coffee. Rooms are pm but ibis like (but a t rhe price of a 5 star) I would t recommend it at all If you want the view go to the restarant which is VERY GOOD, a bit etc wise but great food, but stay elsewhere , with the same price you'll get. A pool and nice bars.

    Amazing restarqnt great food, wine selection so so but totally worth it, great view
