Goldenstern Townhouse

We loved our stay here. The hotel is beautifully restored and although quite minimalistic very comfortable. The room was beautiful and very quiet so very good for a good nights sleep. The breakfast was served in the attractive dining room, the staff were friendly it was altogether a fabulous experience

Easy walk from the train, easy walk to everything we wanted to see. Complimentary Prosecco around the block. Rooms were extremely comfortable and updated. Building itself is historic and beautiful. Rooftop patio with 360 views of mountains and duomo for an evening glass of wine was a highlight. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here for several nights in the beginning of December 2022. We are so happy that we found this hotel and were able to book our rooms there. The hotel itself is historic and beautiful. It is comprised of two conjoined houses dating back many hundreds of years. The Rizzoli family who owns the hotel had it painstakingly restored and beautifully appointed. The famous Casanova resided in one of these buildings for a time when he had to escape Venice. The hotel is in the heart of the old center in the middle of all of the shops and restaurants. However it is not just the hotel building that makes this a "must stay" when visiting Bolzano. The staff are among the friendliest, helpful, interesting and professional we have ever encountered in our many years of travel. We simply cannot say enough good things about how welcome they made us feel and how helpful they were in recommending things for us to see, do and eat!... And are also quite knowledgeable about the history of the the building and Bolzano and the South Tyrol in general. We are particularly grateful to Manuela who made our visit so wonderful and memorable. She is a fine ambassador for not only this hotel but also for the whole South Tyrol region. We are also thankful to the other terrific staff who we've met including Delila. This is a beautiful hotel with outstanding and wonderful staff! We give it our highest recommendation and have every intention of returning in the not too distant future! Bolzano is wonderful and this hotel is a gem!

We stayed 10 days in the Goldenstern and loved it. Beautiful old house, nicely renovated. Fantastic location in the centre of the old town with many bars and restaurants around. Our apartment was well equipped, spacious and cleaned every day. Service was impeccable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Our bedroom faced to the back of the house, I could imagine that the ones facing the street can be noisy at night due to the restaurants and bars.

We spent a wonderful night at this hotel before heading up to Selva Gardena. The rooms are well styled, quiet and a good size (extremely relaxing). Staff are friendly and attentive, and provided some good ideas on exploring this really interesting town. The breakfast was very good. I hope you enjoy as much as we did in staying in Bolzano.

Goldenstern Townhouses are a rustic work of art and in arguably the best and coolest location in Bolzano. The two bedroom apartment we had was perfect for our family . Not for people who cannot navigate stairs as there is no lift. Every passage way, wall, flight of stairs, etc was a walk through history, literally. Between the ‘lobby’ area and the small breakfast restaurant , you literally have to walk through a 12th-24th C ‘scriptotorium’ with ancient frescos and paintings on the walls. It’s in a very discreet location and located above a number of very high end shops. Staff were helpful, friendly but not overly solicitous which we appreciate. Anyone who doesn’t want or need a traditional hotel , and those with no mobility issues should seriously consider Goldenstern. One of the top 10 ‘coolest’ boutique hotels I’ve stayed in terms of character and style and I’ve been fortunate to stay in quite a few all over the world, mostly Asia, Europe and The Americas. Would love to return ! !

The hotel 4 floors without an elevator. Their directions were thru ZTL. The desk person asked us on the phone for our license plate number so she could call the police to exempt us and instructed us to enter the ZTL. We followed her instructions and got a $100 fine. Called them and they said they now called the police and couldn’t do anything. Horrible people and cardiac arrest stairs. Don’t stay

This 800 year old building is exquisitely designed and provides a unique sense of place. Staff were incredible and even opened breakfast super early for us. They also provided a safe storage area for our bikes. Rooms were immaculate and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was fantastic with lots of options including several GF possibilities.
