Top Jena Hotel Reviews

Best Western Premier Grand Hotel Russischer Hof

Best Western Premier Grand Hotel Russischer Hof

10/10 Excellent
"A beautiful hotel in an ideal location in a gorgeous small city filled with cultural wonders. My room, in the older part of the hotel, was elegant and spacious. Front desk and cleaning staff were unfailingly helpful. I would return without question. My only recommendation to the house is to consider a new mattress for the room. It had become a bit…topographical."
