I made a room reservation there only to drive from Italy in to Austria during day time to enjoy the scenery and therefore just needed a stop-over accommodation for one night. On arrival I was unfortunately told that they do not have my booking at the Hotel which is has a sign outside saying 'Gruener Baum' but was instead referred to their 'main reception/hotel' (apparently more than one hotel belongs to the Best Western chain along the small river). It then turned out that they couldn't 'really' find my reservation either but I was offered a room anyway. The room was small but clean and had a nice little balcony overlooking the small river and the city - a pleasure to sit outside and see the world passing by. Therefore I decided to stay another two days but the room was already taken and I had to transfer to another room (without balcony this time) but things where going smoothly and they even moved my luggage to the other room. As the entire hotel seems to consist out of several - former individual - hotels it was only the second day that I found their indoor & outdoor pool but that alone was worth the money you'll pay for the room. Pool appears to be brand new (or close to) and you can just sit there, relax and enjoy watching the mountains. Beautiful place to say the least! Overall an enjoyable experience, extremely helpful reception staff, breakfast is excellent (and diverse) and this spot was definitely one of the hotel highlights within my six weeks across Europe. I would definitely go back there in case I'll be in this region again and would recommend everyone to stop by rather than rushing through to Austria from italy or viz (and as you are likely to have a car when coming to Bressanone/Brixen, there are some really nice castles and mountain views around as well).
