ibis Jena City Hotel 2.5 stars

The room was clean and the breakfast buffet was very good. However, I was estranged by the "plastic bathroom inset" within the room, that not only shared the Flair with a Deutsche Bahn ICE-train's restroom, but also some of the smells… OK, now I know why Motel One makes such a big Thing on their bathroom experience.

A couple improvements i would suggest is to have an electric plug next to the bed for people who like to fall asleep using their phone, and change the position of the toilet paper as it being under the sink area makes it not easy to reach from a standing position. Besides this minor details, i think i got my moneys worth for my stay. The reception was cordial and the rooms well kept. The buffet breakfast was good, showcasing from the typical "english" breakfast of egg and bacon, to more local stuff like a "make your own waffle" machine and other local specialties. The hotel is within walking distance from the train station and the city center which is quite nice, especially considering the long travel required to reach Jena (I would not want to ride more transportation after 2~3 hour of train from Berlin)

The rooms were below my average IBIS experiences. I wrote a couple of notes during my reservation and the staff don't even notice them, I had to repeat everything during my check out. Also, they do not even notice my gold/ibis business status (Although this had happened in all my stays, which does not make it less anoying)

clean efficiently run hotel in good location.

Location is perfect, in the middle of center. Rooms are okay and clean. Breakfast is better than my expectation. Only bad thing I experienced during my stay in this hotel was reception desk. Unfortunately, she does not know how to behave customers. So rude and arrogant.

Decent breakfast. Nice rooms and good service.

It was a nice stay. Breakfast was better than my expectations.

The room was a good size and had a comfortable bed. The only issue was that the power sockets were in strange places though - it was impossible to have your phone on charge and also be next to the bed. Given the central location, which was perfect, we were surprised that the room was completely quiet. Very good soundproofing from outside.. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
