Der Verdinser Hof

Die Beschreibung verspricht mehr als in Wahrheit aussieht. Die Qualität vom Abendmenü entspricht auf keinen Fall einen 4 Sterne Hotel. Wenig Abwechsellung beim Frühstück und nur eine Kaffeemaschine für 100 Gäste mit Warteschlangen. Menü erst ab 19:00 Uhr und dauerte bis 21:00 wenn man Glück hatte. Aussenpool ohne Heizung kälter als ein Tauchbecken in der Sauna. Saunalandschaft in die Jahre gekommen...Das Ausländische Personal war freundlich hat aber nicht immer alles verstanden.

We were guests of the hotel on the last opening weekend before the winter closure. The cuisine is very good, both for dinner and for the breakfast buffet. The gem is the relaxation area overlooking the valley, including the massage rooms with panoramic windows.

Sehr gut gelegenes Hotel mit eigener Tiefgarage. Die Räumlichkeiten sind sehr sauber und das Personal sehr freundlich. Die Küche liefert bestens ab. Die Gerichte sind vielfältig und von guter Qualität.

This is the fifth time we have stayed at the "Verdinser Hof" and we always feel at home here and would love to come back again. The hotel rooms with a view of the valley offer a magnificent view over the Merano Valley and the Vinschgau. The hotel is also at a pleasant altitude of around 700 metres, so it is pleasant to stay there even on very hot summer days. You also get to enjoy the evening sun for much longer in the evenings than in hotels at lower altitudes... The staff are always very friendly and try to fulfil all requests as quickly as possible - you really can't expect more when there is 100% occupancy. We love the charm that this somewhat older hotel still exudes - but if you want to go to a glass palace with a sterile atmosphere and lights in the cupboards when you open the cupboard doors (and similar expensive but probably only partially necessary extras), this is definitely not the right place for you. You can enjoy the atmosphere so much if you just let yourself go... A very special thank you to the perfect head chef Mr Schmitt - daily changing, incredibly tasty dishes, prepared with love and also a feast for the eyes - that's exactly what's on the agenda here!

Unfortunately, I have to agree with one of the previous reviews in various aspects. In a 4-star hotel, you should be welcomed in a different way than just being given the key. Wait! There was a short description of the location of the room. Oh well. The house is spectacularly situated on a mountainside with a view of the entire valley as far as Merano. Really great!! The problem, in my opinion, is that this is exactly what people are resting on. At first glance, everything is great. On closer inspection, however, you get more and more the impression that the management is just letting things go. And this has obviously been the case for some time. Almost everything here is in need of renovation. Not dirty. Just - let's say: worn out. Nothing has been updated for a long time. The actual spa area - which was a decisive factor for us - relevant to the booking, the sauna village, is, to put it mildly, unfortunately not what the brochure promises. On the contrary. Nothing is done, or only the bare minimum is done. As a result, floorboards slowly rot and push through. The screws then stick out. It's not a question of if, but when a guest's foot will get caught on them... At the pool I overheard a conversation between two other guests, one of whom had been there a few years ago. He confirmed that it was the same back then. It's such a shame. If this sauna village had been brought up to scratch with a bit of enthusiasm and craftsmanship, the saunas sealed and all opened - and not one of them closed for years - and the railings renewed so that you don't have to worry about falling through if you hold on to them, it would be a straight A in terms of hotel spa areas. Would have. Could have. Would have. All subjunctives. A shame. A real shame. Against this background, the fact that the guests who booked the most expensive room were looked after in great detail by the same receptionist, accompanied to their room and shown around the hotel, almost takes a back seat. Almost. Oh well. We had just booked the cheapest room. I can't say anything about the evening meal. We only had breakfast...which was absolutely fine!! Not to be forgotten, and to end on a positive note, is the senior manager. He is always there and is friendly, competent and humorous in answering questions about the area, tours, etc.
