We recently stayed at the Stetteneck hotel for a week. We chose the hotel due to it's convenient location for many of the chair lifts and cable cars, which are all walkable from the hotel, so I would definitely recommend it, especially like us you don't have access to a car - and actually you don't really need one as the buses are very easy to navigate. Ortisei itself is a very attractive and clean town with a lovely atmosphere. The 1913 hotel itself is amazing with lots of character and history and the rooms are nicely presented and comfortable with excellent triple glazed windows which really do block out any noise from the outside. The hotel has a lovely Spa (pool, sauna, steam room) which we used a few times and very well presented. The staff are incredibly helpful, friendly and very approachable, particularly Micol and Sicilia. We went half board and the food was amazing (as you might expect in Italy), with a different 3 course meal (veg and non-veg option) each night - simple, quality ingredients but so tasty and cooked to perfection, along with the delightful deserts!. The waiting staff in the dining room were again so friendly, professional and accommodating - if only we had this in the UK. A major highlight for us was the FREE guided hikes provided by the hotel - the local guide Aaron (apologies if spelled incorrectly) was amazing and I highly recommend them, if like us, you are relatively inexperienced hikers and want to take advantage of Aaron's expert local knowledge to avoid the more crowded hikes - he truly made the holiday special for us. The walks varied in difficulty with some steep elevations but nothing that an average walker cant handle - our group included a range of age groups. Aaron encouraged everyone to walk at their own pace and there was no pressure to finish by a set time. For us, this provision by the hotel is a very special differentiator that the Stetteneck should definitely maintain. Lastly, what can I say about the walks and the beautiful surrounding Dolomite mountains which are breathtaking, you really won't be disappointed. We hiked about 40km over the week but we felt so good afterwards - a real boost to your wellbeing and mental health - we already want to go back to explore more of the Dolomites. I don't really have anything bad to feedback - it's a little challenging to actually get to the hotel. We flew to Verona, and then got the train from Verona Train Station to Bolzano (about 80Euro for the family) about 1.5.hrs - the plan was then to get the bus from Bolzano to Ortisei (since it's free with the guest pass provided by the hotel) but with all the luggage we actually ended up getting a taxi instead (120Euro) for the one hour trip. Overall, we had an amazing time and perhaps next time we will visit in the winter time to see the contrast.

“Simply the best”

Fantastic service , great facilities plus hiking guide & wonderful food, probably the best hotel experience of my life .

“Great experience”

Staff at Hotel Am Stetteneck were very accommodating. They let us check in early, and provided us with a fan during our stay. Breakfast was great. Location was very close to all the cable cars / gondolas and close to all the restaurants.

“Ortisei stay”

Lovely hotel. Only stayed 2 nights. It was a great location. The staff were helpful and attentive. Just a 5 minute walk to access the lifts to Seceda
