As a solo traveller relying on public transport, it was not ideal to get around, but it was doable. The hotel was up the mountain from Bolzano, but cable car makes it possible to get into town (after trekking halfway up the mountain). If you are planning a stay, I recommend having a car for sure, but the peacefulness and views of the hotel made the long journeys to the popular hikes worth it. The service though was amazing, and the entire staff was so generous.

The food at Bad St Isidor is really incredible. I highly recommend having breakfast and dinner at the hotel for the convenience and also the exceptional quality of the meals. Some of the best food I've had in a long time, all with a beautiful view of the mountains and Bolzano.

Very accommodating staff provided us with all the necessary information. The location is very peaceful and quiet, ideal for getting some rest from busy city life. It also makes a great starting point for beautiful hikes, with the surrounding nature waiting to be explored. The views from both the dining room and the terrace are breathtaking; they truly set the scene for a relaxing meal. The food is delicious, with a great selection of locally sourced produce for breakfast and an optional dinner. We can’t recommend the dinner option enough; it’s a perfect way to end a day of exploring. The food is simple, represents the region, it is well thought through, greatly executed and ballanced.

Amazing stay on all accounts. We will recommend this accommodation to everyone we know

May need to think about improving the Wi-Fi quality - it was not stable in our room, while it worked fine in public areas.

I'm not sure if I should leave another positive review when there are already so many. But I simply want to express my gratitude to the hosts for their warm welcome, comfortable rooms, and especially for the delicious dinners and breakfasts. This was our second time here, and we will definitely stay again if we're in the Bolzano area. My advice to future guests: if you decide to stay there, be sure to choose the option with dinners.

The pillows were very flat, but otherwise lovely room!

Beautiful location, and fantastic service from the family!! The public transport and museum tickets included in the stay were fantastic. The dinners and breakfasts were amazing! We felt very spoilt.

Meals were very good, provided in a room with great views.

Only two very minor things to note, the beds are a bit on the short side (I'm tall!) and the WiFi and mobile network coverage is a bit spotty at times, but still functional and let's face it, you shouldn't be coming to Bad St. Isidor to be connected 24/7.

The food at Bad St. Isidor is amazing. Elevated home cooking, and in a lovely space. The innkeepers are very welcoming and helpful. The location is beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay - perfect. Also highly recommend driving over to the cable car and using that to commute into Bozen if needed, plus if you stay enough nights you get the Sudtirol card and transit is included.

The walls are thin, if the next door neighbor is noisy then you will hear everything from your room.

The view from the hotel is spectacular and the homely feel you get from the staff, the Bolzano card, the dinner was tasty and different every evening…. Totally worth it

Need a car to get around comfortably, but it isn’t hard to get a car.

The manager was awesome. It was homey which made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. The location was so beautiful and isolated. Felt like a reset.

I am SO happy with my stay here. This family run hotel is an oasis among the mountains. The half board option is incredible and the food was delicious. I really should have booked more time here. The best part is you feel at home. Thank you so much. Couple of things to note; If you’re not driving that’s ok! The taxi will be 30euro from the train station and the hotel gives you a transit card to catch the cable car down and then the bus is only 2 mins to the centre. You can also access Lake Carezza by the 180 bus at the bus station next to the train.

It would be good to pay attention to impact of cigarette smoke on nonsmoking guests. We got smoke in our room from a nearby guest when we had the window open. It was hot weather so this was a bit of a problem.

Evening meals were excellent, swimming pool was lovely

Please note that we have to use Kohlern cable car to go up the mountain, and from there still about 3 km down the road. So for a solo traveler without car like me, better you call the hotel to pick and bring you to the cable car. If I can suggest, maybe it will be very good for the hotel to provide shuttle bus. But anyway, the owner always ready when we call them.

A perfect stay along my trip. The location is perfect, in the middle of the mountain, thus the view was perfect. All the property was very clean, glowing, like I didn't want to make it dirty. And I got the view as well from the bathroom. And of course delicious food for breakfast and dinner. This is a family owned hotel, and they managed themselves, and all of them was so kind, Bernie, Dorris, and also Pietro. They always kind to bring and pick me from the cable car. Perfect.

a little bit far from city center without car

great view, friendly staff, clean room, yummy dinner

Stayed in April 2023

The furnishings were a touch dated but we didn't mind as the room was quiet and comfortable.

The hotel staff and restaurant staff were exceptional. My wife is a vegetarian and they prepared wonderful meals for her. The setting was great, the room comfortable. We enjoyed the included Bolsena pass, we rode the gondola into town and took the bus to the Iceman museum--all fees included with the pass. We wish we had stayed longer. Danke

Lack of choice for dinner and inflexible serving time - just one ‘sitting’ at 1930. Location peaceful in the hills above Bolzano but isolated and with a tiresome winding road for access.

Comfortable and nicely decorated
