We stayed at Parkhotel Mondschein for one night while passing through Bolzano on our honeymoon, and had a really pleasant experience. Check-in was smooth and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. We think we may have been upgraded to a larger room, which was a lovely surprise. The room itself was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel is right in the c...

The hotel is well located, and the common areas are beautifully designed, especially if you appreciate The Monocle Magazine aesthetic (which I do). We were upgraded upon arrival, which was a nice touch and much appreciated. The garden and bar have a great atmosphere, and I enjoyed browsing through the selection of design magazines. Breakfast was good as well. However, there’s a noticeable gap be...

The hotel is a belle epoque design one. You like it or not, there is no option in between. Perfect for us, with a great restaurant. Very well positioned, right in the center of Bolzano. Private parking available next to the hotel either direct access in the hotel.

Yara El Hachem
Overall good experience, nice atmosphere, good location, good noise level, good heating. The downsides are that we didn’t get a balcony as promised in the offer we payed for. No slippers or hair comb were provided and the shampoo was a 2 in 1 shampoo with shower gel. The restaurant was closed on Sunday, we couldn’t enjoy the pool since it wasn’t heated. The floor of the room is a parquet floor a...

Love this hotel. Service was fantastic and the front desk was extremely helpful with every request. Location is unbeatable. In the old town but on the north end so very quiet in the evenings. Love the walk through the villa into the old town. Rooms are small but very well appointed. Views are generally fantastic. This would be my number one choice to stay in Bolzano, but do book in advance because...
