Following the Emperor
My brother and I stayed at the Dorint as our base to tour Napoleonic battlefields in Jena, Auerstadt and Lutzen. Jena is a pretty and lovely town with many restaurant choices. Great food, great hiking and friendly people.

The hotel is renovating its interior, carpets are covered, some areas are cordoned off. Still, a very good hotel, perfectly located in the middle of Jena.

Great hotel. During my stay there were improvements being made but the hotel made sure this did not affect any visitors. It was holiday time in Jena so there were not many people around.
There was a good selection of food for breakfast. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

We got a downgrade from Junior Suite to normal room without notice and were expected to pay full price for suite. After complaining we were offered a refund of 35 Euros, even though the difference was 70.

Steigenberger Esplanade is exceptional. The room was perfect, breakfast superior, and the hostess at breakfast was delightful. Everybody was friendly and helpful and welcoming. The hotel itself couldn't be in a better location. It's within walking distance to the town square all the local restaurants and pubs, and some great shopping! Parking is in the garage and there is always parking available! Do yourself a favor and spoil yourself with a stay at Steigenberger Esplanade Jena. It's definitely it!
