Offering a quiet location in Jena city centre, this hostel is located just 950 metres from the historic Botanical Gardens. Hostel Jena features a shared fully equipped kitchen and modern rooms and dormitories.

I'm very satisfied with the room and the place, especially it's close to the Jena West station, easy to find and easily accessible, the owner is friendly and easy to communicate in English. The toilets and bathrooms were adequate for everyone's needs during my stay. This is a great place to spend a few days in transfer.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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…
