Hotel Juliane

One of the best hotels I ever stayed in! This hotel may not have the most modern rooms, the biggest balconies or the greatest views of the area, but the staff, the service and the food is absolutely outstanding. You are treated as a personal guest of the family, very warm and accommodating. The hotel itself is kept to a very high standard. The style is a bit out of date, but classy and comfortable in its own way. Spotless and clean all over the place. Breakfast is really good. You can ask for special coffee like cappuccino og egg-dishes at no extras. Really nice garden with several places to relax on comfy sunbeds - in the shade or in the sun. The swimming pool adds extra value on sunny days, and when it rains the indoor pool is just as nice and with a good size. The hotel is located a nice stroll from the city center, and very close to the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle. We will definitely come again. I recommend this hotel for everyone that favors personal service in a family-like atmosphere.

Hotel Juliane lies in a residential area about 20 min on foot from downtown Merano. Most of the clientele are German of a certain age who take the half-board option and eat in the hotel. However, during our stay we saw a number of younger couples with childen on a bed and breakfast basis. I can highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to spent a few peaceful, restful days in this tranquil environment. The room we stayed in had all necessary comforts and was both clean and well-kept. The breakfast buffet was very enticing and it was possible to order a cooked breakfast as well. The hotel has plenty of other facilities, two swimming pools, sauna and spa, although we did not make use of them. It also has a bar and provides information on all the neighbourhood activities. There is a large car park that is closed at night (after 21.00). The hotel is somewhat on the expensive side for Italy but Merano is an expensive region with heavy demand for good hotel rooms. We enjoyed our stay and would go back again.
