  : At photos looks good. However, the location is close to very busy motorway. The breakfest is not included - either you can go to have breakfest to St.Paul (1 km) or you can do something on your own, but there is no room where to have breakfest (only outside there are two dirty tables). Surprisingly, the personal speak only Italian. The receptionist did not even try to speak English or German (despite the lication is in Sudtirol). I would not recommend this hotel.

  : The room was spotlessly clean. If youre on a road trip and looking for a place to spend the night - and thats all - then Garni San Paolo is OK.
  : Unfortunately, the list is quite long.First of all, you have to find the place and drive into the property. If you are coming from Meran or Bozen, Google made it very clear that one had to turn right to enter. The angle was so extreme that that was simply impossible. Only option: drive to the next road, turn around, come back, make sure the traffic was clear on a very busy highway, dart across it and up to the house. Only apparently we drove further than we should have and a very unfriendly man told us to go back to the reception, which we had inadvertently driven past.A not-very-welcoming woman appeared, confirmed my reservation and told me that I would be in the back on the second floor, where it should be quieter. No elevator, so I had to drag my luggage up two flights. The room, as I say, was very clean but somewhat strange. Although apparently it had been recently renovated, the night tables were at least a meter from the bed and were permanently installed. To turn lights on or off, one had to get out of bed.At some point, I wanted to eat something for dinner. There were no restaurants or stores to be found in the vicinity.The biggest surprise came the next morning when I went down for breakfast, only to discover that, even though they bill themselves a garni the only breakfast to be had was out of a machine. Im sorry to be so negative but just about everything I expected as a traveler - other than a clean room - was lacking. When I left, the owners parting words (in Italian; she only spoke Italian) were that I should book directly next time and pay her in person. Needless to say, there will not be a next time.

  : I didn't stay in the accomodation.
  : Five days before the booked date I informed the accommodation by e-mail that I am canceling my stay due to an unexpected accident of my traveling companion. Due to his injury he could not go on the trip so we canceled. So I asked for the calculation of only partial costs of a one-day stay. I also offered medical documentation. They didn't answer so I called by mobile and got an answer that they would reconsider and answer me. Since they didn't, I called again the next day. They said they would charge for everything but offered a 30% discount for next time... I understand they would charge if it was 5 or 6 or more days. But 1 day... and they didn't even care that it is an extraordinary event. What a pity. I will definitely not come to them next time despite the promised discount.

  : Parking is free. Surrounding area is quite awesome and must be very beautiful during spring/summer. The lady reception although too loud and only speaks Italian, but overall she is nice and try to be very helpful. Check-in and check-out is very easy.
  : The signage to enter is small which resulted to u mistaken with the exit point.

Fair
