Find the Cheap Sudliches Saaletal Hotels

Wunderbar gelegenes Schloßhotel mit sehr aufmerksamen Besitzern und netten Personal und zauberhaften Ausblick. Liebevoll zubereitetes köstliches Frühstück.

The hotel is located in the middle of a 1960s high-density East-German-style housing district with a very 1990s-architecture, room furniture style reminiscent of a 1980s American Marriott (kind of faux-elegant), and movie decorations and photos from 1940s Hollywood with Bogart et al. (why, you may ask, Hollywood in Jena? Zeiss cine lenses?). In addition to being unspecifically dated, the hotel could also simply use a fresh coat of paint ... but: everything was clean, the personnel was super-friendly and helpful, the breakfast was plentiful and started at 6:00 (very accommodating for early risers!), the shower was nice and hot, and I had a very, very good-night sleep. The hotel is also close to a tram stop, supermarket, pharmacy, etc. In addition, we had a conference dinner there, which was a good-quality buffet with a variety of options, including vegetarian ones. Overall, a very good stay.

Pleasant hotel if somewhat dated in general furnishings and atmosphere. Not many of the rooms were occupied on my visit. Located on the southern edge of Jena but the terminus of the number 2 tram is a 7 minute walk away and a public transport ticket is included in the hotel price. Ample free car parking at the hotel. Rooms are comfortable with tea/coffee facilities, modern bathrooms (very good shower), large comfortable beds. The breakfast was fine, if a little uninspiring - standard selection, some regional touches would have been appreciated. I feel Covid is having a continuing effect on employing staff - throughout my stay there was never anyone on reception! Had to ring the bell for service; they were very helpful when they appeared!

We were here for a wedding, we had the back winter garden room all to ourselves which was fantastic, we could close the door and it was private. The food was really great though I did miss the croissants that we had on Friday morning, they didn't have them again on Saturday. The room was really HOT and the circulating air that is supposed to be available was broken/or not functioning. We asked at the front desk three times and they kept saying that someone would come look/fix and nothing was done nor any follow up. By the third time that we asked, they gave us a fan that was louder than a jet engine. Leaving the windows open was the only option and there were tons of little insects that came in the room because of this. You could also only open up the window a little bit so that didn't help much. We still woke up multiple times in the night because it was so hot and we had to remove the bedding because it was not a summer duvet. The noise from the roadway was also quite loud when you had the window open. I think with the windows closed this would've been ok. The outside pool area was ok but the chairs were really old and stained and the pool area looked nothing like the pictures make it look... it's old and much much smaller. It did it's job of cooling us off but it's misleading. We also had to walk all over the place to find the spa area so we could pick up the pool towels. A suggestion would be to have these at the front desk or somewhere near the pool. In the end we all felt like this hotel was way over priced for what we got. We live in Switzerland and are used to high prices but for what we got, this was way over priced. The shower was ok but the floor was really slippery and lot's of our older family was scared they would slip when they showered. Since there was no air circulating in the room, none of the towels ever dried the whole time we ere there. It's also not really near public transport in case you were on foot like we were (about 10-15 min walk). In summary, the food was good, the waiter/waitresses were nice but the room and the front desk service was not good, they gave an attitude that there's nothing they can do if something isn't working and you pay the price even if things that are expected to work, don't.

It was my first time in the hotel, the staff is very welcoming and extremely friendly. Started with the check-in, very accommodating and helpful, restaurant staff was very helpful and even gave recommendations for little bars within Jena. Food was typical regional food and extremely tasty - regards to the chef. Meeting rooms are big and lunch is available as well. Rooms are practical but very quiet. Internet connection has not been an issue even on the 2nd floor. You can walk into the city center and train station Jena Paradies is very close by. Big parking space opposite side of the hotel. Can´t wait to come back !
