The Post Gries Hotel is easy to find and provides an extremely friendly welcome - in good English. It has car parking, a restaurant, a bar and a lift. Breakfast was classically simple but generous. The room was modern and efficient. There are other cafes and restaurants nearby, but the Post Gries is on a straight road which takes 15 minutes to walk into the beautiful old town of Bolzano where there are tourist delights all around. If we return to see more of Bolzano we will stay at the Post Gries again. We chose it because of TripAdvisor reviews.

We stayed here for 3 nights. And I must say that I was really disappointed. But I'll start naming the positives: quite clean, excellent free parking, average breakfast, 20 minutes walk from the centre. I must disagree with other reviewers about other things such as: our room wasn't new but you could see visible cracks on the walls, the service given was below average especially in such a region. If you needed any information, it was better not to ask, because they always answered in a 'sad way' and sometimes even without looking at you. Interenet wasn't functioning, but if it was it costs €4/hour. When you arrive at the reception you'll notice that it's a non-smiling zone.

We stayed here two nights with young children (4 and 2). Rooms were very quiet with excellent windows that open and electronic blinds for quiet and early morning dark. Walking to the center is possible even with a stroller (about 20 minutes at a good pace). About 15 minutes to a wonderful riverside park. A grocery is nearby. The taxi service is reasonable and efficient. Breakfast at the hotel is very nice. Speaking German made things easier, but I think one would get good service speaking only English as well (provided one is civilized in his/her approach). If you want to be in the center, this is not the place. If you want a family friendly, quiet, clean, and modern place at a reasonable price, it is great hotel.

Lovely hotel, clean, and German, as mentioned, since it's in the German sector of Bolzano. But NO AIR CONDITIONING! I can live with heat, but not for the prices paid. I knew how to let in the air by playing with the rolling window shades, but my husband would never have guessed, having never lived in Italy before. We had to keep the shades all the way down in the morning as well, because the sun's heat from the balcony radiated into the room. The reception and hallway areas were air conditioned, so I'm not sure if the previous reviewer had special room or if they left their door open at night! The room had a small oscillating fan, but it was barely adequate. Beds were very comfortable with ample space in room.
