“Schwarzer Baer Jena occupies a prime spot opposite the university, steeped in local history. The Michelin and Gault Millau-listed restaurant clearly holds standards that the rest of the hotel struggles to meet based on some experiences I've read, and that creates an inconsistency in value. It's a striking building in a great location, but one that needs to ensure service matches its ambiance.”
