I migliori ristorantinella città San martino in passiria della Bolzano/bozen

26/05/2026: I've been going to South Tyrol for decades now. Sometimes we stay for a few days, sometimes it's just a spontaneous one-night visit during one of our motorcycle or convertible tours. What I incredibly appreciate about the region, and what I've always experienced, is the warm hospitality. You arrive and hear a genuine, "Hello, did you have a good journey? Welcome!" You immediately feel at ease. Unfortunately, it was completely different at the Hotel Alpenland. The reception was extremely cold: a brief "Hello," the room key, and that was it. When I asked about the restaurant's opening hours, I received the curt reply: "It's all written here" (pointing at an information sign), "and in the room too." Spoiler alert: There was absolutely no information in the room. Unfortunately, things continued in a similar vein. Upon arriving in the room, we discovered that it wasn't the type of room we had booked at all. "Mistakes happen," I thought, and went back to reception. The lady's reply, however, came in an absolutely accusatory tone: "The room isn't available if you're only booking one night." The odd thing is, we'd only booked two days before arrival, and according to the website, the room was available for just one night. We were then given a different room in the same price category, which we didn't like at all. While the short-stay surcharge was waived the next day, it would have been professional to have informed us about this and offered the waiver directly at check-in. That would have made a completely different impression. I initially wanted to complain to the owners that evening, but then the staff informed me that the lady at reception was the owner herself. So, unfortunately, that was pointless. To be fair, the room was absolutely spotless, and the spa area with sauna and steam room was fantastic. The culinary aspect, however, was a disappointment. Dinner was okay, but it bore absolutely no resemblance to the promising pictures and descriptions on the website. The main course selection was also extremely meager, with only two dishes to choose from – we're used to much better in South Tyrol. We had a significantly better experience last year at another hotel on the same street. Unfortunately, breakfast the next morning was the low point: the chocolate croissants were bone dry, and the overall selection was extremely limited. We barely ate anything and left immediately. A little more South Tyrolean hospitality would do the hotel a world of good.

14/03/2026: Excellent hotel, super friendly atmosphere and staff, and breakfast and dinner were very good. For relaxation, there's a wellness area with a pool, sauna, and small gym. We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly return.

12/07/2026: A truly special place. If you're looking for a classic modern restaurant, with endless menus, reservations, and a frenetic pace, this probably isn't for you. Here, time seems to have stood still, in the best sense of the word. Since 1971, the owners have run this business with the same simplicity, passion, and authenticity as always. It's one of those increasingly rare places, made up of genuine people, lots of substance, and very little form. The menu is deliberately simple: three great grilled classics—pork shank, pork ribs, and chicken—prepared with care and truly excellent. The restaurant is quaint, the garden is splendid, and the atmosphere is that of a place that has never felt the need to follow trends. If you want an authentic, timeless experience, this is the place. And don't forget to stop and chat with Carl and his brother: meeting people like them is worth the trip as much as the meal. They are the kind of people who, when you leave, leave something in your heart.

12/06/2026: Cozy, small local place. We had grilled chicken and ribs. Delicious!

08/06/2026: Very friendly and absolutely dog-friendly 🫶

25/01/2026: Now under new management, much, much better than the "grumpy guy" from last summer, highly recommended again.
