I get mosquito bites easily so open windows without screens isnt an option. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph Oct 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Joseph Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Peter Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The first few days I was there my room was too hot in the night. When I talked to the people on the front desk I was told that the air conditioning was turned off at night! That’s madness. If made the room too hot for me to sleep well at night and ruined stay in Jena. It was not what I thought I was buying. Other than e, pretty nice, good breakfast, staff friendly and nice Or ##### Peter Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James Apr 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Excellent location. Lots of malls and other shopping boulevards ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Juergen Aug 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Juergen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Stephanie Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Greg Sep 13, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I was disappointed that this hotel lists in its amenities that it is air conditioned. It is not. I will say that the staff was accommodating. When we checked in, we were given a room in a very odd location of the hotel—you must take one lift to get to the second lobby, from there you take a second lift to get to floors 4 and above. We were given a room on fourth floor, we had difficulty finding our room—we had to go through a service door to a small lower entrance that appeared in between floors three and four in a very dark and depressing hallway. The hotel staff did allow us to change rooms. When I asked about how the A/C works in the room, the staff did admit that it wasn’t A/C exactly and attempted to describe what it was exactly. It just air circulation vents that circulate air into the rooms from interior, non-air conditioned common space. Olathe room was clean and comfortable—however having to take the elevators each day I noticed how the outside and inside stainless steel doors and interior walls were filthy! After two full days of seeing the same filth (one of the lifts had something spilled all over), I uncomfortably mentioned it to the hotel staff as nicely as I could, indicating that I’d want to know if I were the manager of the property. The person I spoke with to thanked me and said yes, not acceptable, and immediately called housekeeping. THE ELEVATORS (outside/inside/buttons) WERE NEVER TOUCHED ALL FOUR DAYS WE WERE THERE. I have pictures too. ##### Greg Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Fairmont-Jasper-Park-Lodge.h24928.Hotel-Information) > > [Moon Palace Cancun - All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Moon-Palace-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h428588.Hotel-Information) > > [Beatnik Hôtel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bromont-Hotels-Beatnik-Hotel.h15029951.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel Adam](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Motel-Adam.h8145190.Hotel-Information) > > [Western Traveller Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Western-Traveller-Motel.h12954266.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Hotel in Port Stanley](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Stanley-Hotels-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d181900-tBeachHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Topas Ecolodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Sa-Pa-Hotels-Topas-Ecolodge.h2922248.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/pvr/victoria-to-puerto-vallarta) > > [Flights from Columbus (CMH) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cmh/ywg/columbus-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Jamaica (JFK) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/cun/new-york-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Toronto, ON (YYZ-Pearson Intl.) to Tokyo (TYO-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Boston (BOS) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bos/yqm/boston-to-moncton) > > [Flights from Schiphol (AMS) to Faro (FAO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ams/fao/amsterdam-to-faro) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Kailua-Kona (KOA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/koa/toronto-to-kailua-kona) ### Cars > [Enterprise](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rental.cET.Travel-Guide-CarRentalCompany) ### Packages > [Greece Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Greece.d67.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mont Garceau Ski Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Garceau-Ski-Resort-Saint-Donat.d553248621562269946.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/kid-friendly-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [San Miguel de Allende Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Miguel-De-Allende.d9796.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals ### General
