Ibis was a perfect place for us to stay in Jena while visiting family in the area. Jena is delightful, has shops, restaurants, and good transportation to surrounding areas. The room was comfortable and we were in a good location in Jena to walk to local shops and bistros and catch the trams. We did not participate in any meals at the Ibis so cannot comment. Front staff spoke adequate English, some were better than others. All in all, it was a good place to stay in Jena.
