Castel Hörtenberg

Over rated hotel. Not worth the 500 euros per night. Could easily find a hotel for less. Also when booking on this site, the algorithm booked my room for one month sooner. It was absolute hell getting this straightened out and charged me an additional 300 euro. So be wary!!!!

With Bolzano picked simply as a midway stop for our drive from Germany to Tuscany, we weren't expecting too much of the town but this hotel looked promising. We were pleased that BOTH exceeded our expectations. The city is vibrant and picturesque to where we wish we had stayed a few days instead of just a day and a half. As for Hotel Hortenberg, it was delightful and had an impressive feel. Our room (101) was clean, spacious, quiet, tastefully decorated, and with a generously sized bathroom. We found the staff to be welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. The breakfast bar had something for everyone, with all selections fresh and well supplied. The garden and pool area were a pleasant oasis where barely a noise was to be heard from outside the property walls. The view up the mountain towering over the hotel and neighborhood was impressive. We hope to return to this area one day and to choose this hotel again.

My stay at Castel Hortenberg was an absolute delight. The Renaissance castle, meticulously restored, offered the epitome of luxury in the heart of Bolzano. The comfortable rooms, exceptional service, and exquisite dining options exceeded expectations. The spa area provided a serene escape, making the overall experience truly stunning. Highly recommended for a luxurious stay at the gateway to the Dolomites.

Exquisite! My family of four was delightfully surprised at the wonderful beauty and service and this amazing property. It started with a long, beautifully tree shaded gated driveway that opened at the end to reveal a beautiful small castle...and things only got better. Greeted by an extremely welcoming Thomaso (sorry about spelling) and shown a beautifully crafted modern and perfectly appointed room that felt like a suite. Welcome cookies and water. An offer for a welcome drink at reception. A beautiful pool area. An amazing breakfast assortment. The whole experience, even its onsite parking and proximity to walk to town. A+ Don't book any other place in Bolzano... Castel Hortenberg is PERFECTION...

Just when you least expect it! After a crash on the A22, we had an unanticipated stay in Bozen/ Bolzano. This Hotel is incredible - the attention to detail is exceptional, but also the team is excellent. This whole hotel is a hidden gem. Pool was piping hot in February. Amazing!

A real Castel , excellent service, foods at breakfast was really good. Rooms so nice! Exteriors nice too.

Beautiful hotel and warm and friendly staff. Location is very central so a great base to explore the wonderful Bolzano. Our suite was beautiful although the living room could so with much better lighting given the dark wood finishings which meant that at night it was impossible to navigate properly. Also, the hotel could do with a proper bar area rather than the “effort” in the corridor that is there currently. But these are small point in what was a great stay.

Castel Hortenberg far exceeded our expectations. From the very friendly and extra accommodating staff, delicious food and beautiful setting to the charm of Bolzano, to list but a few things. If you want a great hotel experience, I would definitely recommend. Castel Hortenberg is a gem tucked neatly down a residential street, very serene and quiet but close to the town centre and many attractions.

Gorgeous hotel with spacious and comfortable room. Delicious breakfast. Staff was incredibly helpful, especially Sabrina who booked some excellent restaurants for us, and Tommaso who went out of his way to help with a medical situation. Only comments for improvement would be the pool jacuzzi, which were not warm enough to enjoy comfortably on a cold night. Otherwise, excellent experience!
