It was wonderful. The location is perfect for exploring the town. Terrific terrace for breakfast or relaxing and watching life on the boulevard. From the reception over wait staff to the owners, everyone was extremely attentive, friendly, polite and helpful. The town has a wonderful Mediterranean flair. Great food, great shopping.

Great room with balcony that was full of plants and had lounge chairs, was like a privat little garden!

Merano is a gorgeous mountain town. Aurora is right across the street from a famous thermal spa. The hotel has a helpful staff. Like so many places in Italy, it’s on a pedestrian street but they have an arrangement with a nearby parking garage and the parking just goes on your room charges.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The value was incredible with many little extras included! The breakfast was outstanding and the staff was incredibly helpful.

Great location, but make sure when booking that you make a reservation for a room with a balcony. Otherwise, you’ll be looking out to a narrow side alley - definitely not very appealing.

This hotel is in a fantastic location and the flowers everywhere are beautiful. We had a lovely terrace outside our room covered in plants. The food at the restaurant and the service are both excellent. Two issues: the building is super old and it shows (dirt in the corners of, well, everything) and the outside of the place could use a refresh. Our main issue was our room - it was really big and was not originally built with a washroom in it - so they had added this super modern, glass space which would be ok but it had stripes of privacy frosting on the glass like the kind I have on our boardroom at work - you can still see basically everything. Fine if you know your travel companion really well, but still a bit awkward.

Central location, paid parking off-site (a few minutes walk), walking street right outside the hotel, simple breakfast, clean room, staff does not speak English very well (common in the country)

Lovely staff, comfortable room, would go back in a minute.

If arriving by car, check Google maps for the lane behind the hotel where you drop off your luggage and reception then provides a map for parking. From check in to check out, service was exemplary. Not sure how check in would be with a car however reception made sure it was easy. Check out was just as easy retrieving the car, and then loading it at the back door. The room we booked was a classic double with balcony. It was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the A/C worked well and the wi fi signal was strong. Slept well, hotel is quiet and the room was quiet. Breakfast was a very nice buffet with plenty of variety. Fresh fruit cocktail, fresh pineapple, melon and 'freshly' squeezed orange juice!! Pastries were delicious - chocolate pain - fantastic. Scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, meats, cheeses, cereal, etc. All fantastic. What a well managed hotel, and a great team of employees! Nice job Aurora Hotel.

This is a wonderful hotel. All staff were super friendly from the moment we arrived. Our room had river and mountain views. The room was very clean and the restaurant was superb. It’s a perfect location with easy arrival and quick walking access into the pedestrian area. Would definitely stay there again, wow!

Wonderful staff, very nice room. Great breakfast. We will be going again.

We had an updated room in the old part of the hotel although we booked classic room which I think we may have preferred. There was no separate bathroom, the toilet and shower were in glass partitioned boxes either side of the room but nice in that all rooms are different, if you like Premier inn this hotel is not for you Breakfast lovely and we had afternoon coffee and cake outside under a fleece looking at the Xmas lights, location brilliant and can walk to the train station

The hotel is perfectly located nearby city centre, for this period is great because the famous Christmas market is just outside the facility. Even being so close to the "movida", the room is quiet. Staff very friendly and helpful, agreement with a nearby parking at a fair rate

The hotel is very quaint. An old building with lots of charm. First hotel where I received a real metal key for my room. The room had a balcony that overlooked a river. Very scenic. Very close to the therme spa which was spectacular. Close to city Center. Only negative was the service at the restaurant fina. The service was very slow and we returned a meal that was not good or what we thought we ordered and they refused to remove the returned meal from the bill. Stay away from their restaurant

Good location. Clean & good service. Breakfast served nice variety of foods & beverages. Only problem was positioning our car to unload luggage as hotel located on a walking street, also our room overlooked a wall?!
