“Dorint Hotel Esplanade Jena strikes me as a solid choice, particularly for business, with its central location and access to city amenities; the rooms are comfortable, and the breakfast spread is commendable, though some areas show their age. It's a reliable option if you're looking for convenience in Jena, despite a slightly dated feel in certain aspects.”
