This beautifully restored former monastery is now a truly classy restaurant where history and elegance meet. The restoration work is stunning, with historic walls and vaulted ceilings brought back to life and paired with warm wood furnishings and soft linens that create a unique, intimate atmosphere. As another reviewer mentioned, the bread is outstanding: simple, fresh, and unforgettable. We ordered the Rohnen-Knödel and the Rücken vom Kalb, both perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Everything was beautifully complemented by an excellent glass of Lagrein wine. What makes this place special is its philosophy of simplicity and respect for ingredients. You can truly taste the care in the fresh, seasonal produce and the thoughtful preparation inspired by traditional monastic cooking. A memorable experience from start to finish. We will absolutely be back.

The pasta was decent and so was the salad. The restaurant itself is very 5B and modern and we loved the clean and simple lines of it. Only one bathroom though.

By American standards, these rooms are small, and wifi should be free. But Brixen isn't in…read moreAmerica, is it? Seriously, the hotel scene in Brixen is pretty damn expensive, so I was really happy to find this family-run hotel. It definitely is a budge hotel, but it's a nice, comfortable place to spend a night or few. The location right across from the Acquarena and just around the corner from a bus stop is great. One *could* schlepp one's baggage and crap to the train station (Brixen can be crossed by foot in ten minutes), orrrrrr, one could take the bus. Your pick. I'm pretty sure all rooms are non-smoking, which is a beautiful thing in central Europe. The rooms in the back of the building tend to have balconies, which have a lovely view. The floor space is limited but the bed is spacious, which is a fair trade-off, I'd say. ;) Bathrooms have been recently renovated, as I believe most aspects of the hotel. In fact, our room was missing a refrigerator, and I'm not sure whether that's because they haven't yet been installed or the refrigerator for our room was under repair. Either way, it didn't bother me too much - I was in Brixen to enjoy myself, not to do grocery shopping. The keycard system is awesome, and will let you in late at night securely without waking a night porter, as happens at some other hotels. Breakfast is included, including coffee drinks from the attached cafe next door. I made proficient use of the spread of eggs, cakes, cereals, cheese, meats, jams, etcetera and wasn't hungry for most of the rest of the day. The only drawbacks are the €1 charge for wifi and the parking charge. I couldn't be bothered to go through the rigamarole of paying and logging in online for a €1 transaction and would rather see this automatically included in my check-in. I don't know much about the parking situation, as I didn't need it, but I understand that the parking lot belongs to or is right near the Acquarena and the rates are inexpensive. This is a great budget hotel, but I wish the wifi process would be simplified/included in the check-in.

When I asked the front desk about hiking areas, he gave me a wealth of information. Now the bad: our room was in the annex. Normally the word annex means a structure added onto another structure; however, this was a separate building and it was October and raining outside. We had to carry suitcases from the other side of the hotel, across a street and along a muddy gravel lined path and up 5 steps to enter the building. The elevator doesn't go directly to any of the floors where the rooms are so you always have to go up stairs - not a big deal for us as we are fit, but others should be aware. The carpets in the hallways were very worn, not at all 4 star. Inside our room the radiator was not working and it was very cold. They brought us an electric space heater to compensate. The room was cramped, but the closet area was huge. There was a balcony that in the summer would be quite nice as it looked out towards a garden area. The bathroom was of poor design. There was no noticeable ventilation and the mirrors fog up with the slightest amount of moisture - so very difficult to be able to see to brush teeth, etc. and the fogging doesn't go away unless you open the door to the balcony - which because there is no heat, is less than ideal. There is minimal storage space in the bathroom only a very narrow shelf above the sink. The only shower amenities we had were one small disk of soap and one small bottle of shampoo for our 3 night stay. We called the front desk and they brought more supplies. The bathroom sink didn't drain well. The bed was way too firm and wobbled when you move. There are no signs or directions on how to find the spa. When I asked, I was told take the elevator to the 3rd floor, walk to the end of the floor (Once again no signs), then take an elevator (unmarked) to the basement, then you find the spa. When I got there, I noticed everyone had nice robes and slippers - these were not provided in our room (robes required for 4 star ranking) and I couldn't have worn them anyway as I had to walk across muddy gravel to get to the spa. Interestingly, the 3rd floor where the spa elevator is located is very luxurious and contains all of the suites. It is clear to me that the hotel management is trying to keep the spa exclusive to the patrons of the third floor since everything is unmarked. I also wanted to use the advertised fitness room but couldn't find it, so I asked, and it was in the annex basement where we were staying but the sign was small and I had missed it. Once downstairs there was a teapot outside with nice teas (we didn't have a teapot in our room - a requirement for a 4 star hotel rating), and on one side was the small fitness room and on the other side was a small sauna and steam room. The fitness room had only a treadmill, bike and multi-machine, all of which were placed on top of carpets which is not sanitary since carpets can't be cleaned well from sweat drips. I did yoga there two days in a row and noticed that that floor was not clean - dirt and hair and the same dirt and hair was on the floor on the second day. The fitness room had no ventilation other than windows, but when it is cold outside it is not ideal to have them open. I noticed on our last day that the whole room smelled very strongly of sweat. In the hallway was a sign and ledge for antiseptic spray - but no bottle was present. I tried the small sauna room - there were two saunas, a traditional and an infrared plus a steam room. There were no controls or directions for the steam room or sauna and when I went during normal 5pm sauna time, everything was cold - I guess you have to ask to have these turned on! I did use the Infrared sauna and it worked well. Clearly this area is an afterthought for maintenance. The breakfast food quality was not 4 star level with grocery story quality cheese and meats, dried fruit, canned pears and other canned fruits. The tart/cake was ice cold as if it had been taken out of the freezer. There were only two hot dishes - some eggs and bacon. The muesli and cold cereals were also grocery story quality. If you decide to stay here, insist on being in the main building and ask for everything.
