This hotel is rated as a 4-star hotel, but I really don't know why. It's your typical renovated old building with bland cheapish furniture and an underwhelming bathroom. The tv is some $50 super curved old tube, the pillows were over 12" of stiff foam which I couldn't use because it made my neck stiff.

The rooms were clean enough, large enough, but neither nice nor horrible. I wouldn't recommend it, nor would I dissuade anyone from staying here.

Just average.

We stayed here while one of us went to a conference and the other came for vacation. They had an amazing breakfast (fresh OJ, eggs, breads, great cheeses, veggies, meats, cereal, capuccini, etc.), a small bar, internet access (for a fee), nice sheets. Do ask to have another room if you are not thrilled with the view--they have some with nicer views than others. There is a solarium on the top floor. The desk staff were helpful, the housekeeping staff was a little pushy if you were not ready when they were for the room to be done up. Only English channel on TV was CNN. Tall ceilings and low beds in room. Shoe shining machine in stairwell.

The Goldene Adler (listed among Hotels de charme) is the perfect place in Bressanone/Brixen. Restaured in 2001, it was -during the centuries, the stop-over for the likes of Montaigne and various emperors and queens.
It is very tastefully decorated, with period furniture mixing with contemporary pieces. The owners are the same of the restaurant "Oste scuro", with excellent local cuisine. Rooms are of different categories and prices, but all invariably large and well equipped. Breakfast is a feast.
Service is bespoke: we ere amazed to realize that -from one year to the next- staff remembered that my husband wants two pillows and found an extra-one in our room on arrival!
Free Turkish bath and sauna. Lovely bar and lounge.
