Absolutely terrible air conditioning indoors during a very hot summer week. Excellent staff and excellent food for breakfasts boosted my rating or it would be much lower. Europe in general has tiny uncomfortable mattresses on the beds vs what we have in the USA, but I've always encountered that over the past 20 years, so I don't hold that against ibis.

Comfy hotel centrally located in Jena. We purchased the breakfast buffet and it was worth it! They served Heinz ketchup. The room was small and had everything we needed. Free reliable WiFi. Elevator. Front desk. Keycard access, required for powering your room’s electricity.

The location of the hotel was best. Right in the heart of the city, but the hotel itself was below par. You can hear people walking outside and slamming other rooms door and bathroom was little stinky. I had good experience with IBIS in other cities, but here in Jena, I was a little disappointed. It could definitely be improved for a better stay.

I have around 80 to 100 hotel nights each year, worldwide. The IBIS Jena City Hotel met my requirements, it was clean, quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was basic compared to higher priced hotels but there was enough choice of fresh food. This was the first hotel I can remember where I did not have to spend the first few minutes unplugging appliances or covering things up to make the room dark at night; even the TV had no standby light! Why do some hotels have a brightly lit alarm clock display by the bed, I just pull the plug, I have a mobile. Wi-Fi was also good and free. I don't need more in a hotel than this and the lack of annoying lights in the room was positively refreshing.

We were visiting Jena for a sporting event and also wanted to travel to Leipzig so this hotel was ideal. For once Accors description was accurate, the venue is indeed in central Jena but was not at all noisy. Staff were very helpful and check-in was easy. We had not bought breakfast with our package and paid for it one morning, €17 was a bit expensive and in fact used other outlets for the rest of our stay. The room was typical Ibis fair, in fact one of the great advantages of using the brand as opposed to Styles label you know what you are getting.

Our overall stay was pleasant. I want to appreciate the staff mostly. They were very cordial and supportive throughout our stay. The location is great! Very near to public transportation. Everything we needed was nearby. Breakfast was good.

The room was clean and tidy. However, it lacks a more suitable closet for longer stays. Furthermore, the bathroom is small and does not fit well in the room. Most of the employees were friendly and helped out, which was necessary several times because of problems with the coding system of the doors. I personally think the breakfast is overpriced, even though I am a fan of the waffle maker.
The location is appealing, since the hotel is located directly in the middle of Jena, just next to the Göthe passage and the main square.

Beds are ok, the receptionist was very helpful, though. No free wifi, which I consider unforgivable. The hotel location is very good, in the middle of lots of stores and pretty places

Rooms are small, but clean and well built. The service is on point. There is no kitchen for serving big meals, but there's a small kitchen that works overnight serving sandwichs.

Personeel is friendly, but the hotel is missing for example a trashcan in the room. Ibis shoot look more at the details of what a traveler needs during corona.
