Ideal Park

Hotel with indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Location is 15mins from Bolzano where the main amenities are. Price is on the expensive side given the location and room size. Breakfast is decent. Have to pay for the bathrobe, slippers and towels for the pool. Indoor parking is good and free.

For some reason we were not expecting great things from this hotel, it was one of the bigger resorts we had booked for 2 nights on a 5 weeks touring holiday, most of the other places were family run, smaller hotels so we expected this hotel not to be as good. We were so pleasantly surprised. I think we went for a basic room but it was quite modern and spacious with light switches you tapped for privacy etc. The bed was very comfortable, we asked for extra pillows which were promptly delivered. Lovely bathroom with great shower. The only thing which was not good was the air conditioning, being a lady of a certain age I needed the room to be a lot cooler than it was and the reception only seemed to be able to get it down to 22 which on a hot couple of nights in June was really not cool enough, ended up sleeping with the windows open which was a little noisy come early morning. The parking is pretty good and it is worth leaving your car in the garage and taking public transport to the various places, traffic is quite heavy on the roads and parking is, well, typical Italian and not very much of it to be had. The buses seemed to be perfectly timed which was not what I expected for Italy. The bus stop to Bolzano is literally outside the hotel and takes about 40 minutes,(there is a bus 120 which runs on the hour which is quicker by about 10-15 minutes if you can get that, reception do not seam to be aware of this but on a hot day it is so much better). The spa area is very good and the swimming pool on the roof top has some amazing views with lots of sun beds. The restaurant is inside, quite large and quite brightly lit with no windows, which felt a bit like eating on a cruise ship. We went for half board which included a buffet starter including a soup or a slice of pizza, choice of pasta, choice of meat course or a full pizza if preferred, and either a dessert off the buffet or ordered from the menu. The food wast all very tasty and well presented. Would highly recommend one of the local wines, a red Lagrain which was about €28 a bottle, decent price and a nice medium body wine, recommended by our waiter. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The hotel is mainly full of German tourists and the staff tend to cater more for them however we had no problem with communication and the staff went out of their way to find someone who could speak better English to help out in any way they could. Would definitely recommend this hotel if passing and certainly lots to do in the area for at least 2-4 nights, aided by the free Bolzano card which gave free travel on buses, trains and cable cars egging you to some lovely walking areas and virtually all the museums, castles etc in the surrounding area.

Incredible Hotel, facilities, rooms, comfortable beds and pillows, clean and modern. Great breakfast. The pools and sauna are beautiful, relaxing and spacious. I recommend the massage at the spa. The bar is nice and fun, staff is super friendly. Will come back!!!

Superbly clean and organised, so many staff and they were all friendly and remembered us every time. Little requests, like the quietest possible room, were met with a smile, and the pool and kids areas were brilliant. The room layout was terrific, and breakfast was a well-managed treat every day

Super nice hotel with good service. Nice rooms and super swimming pool at the roof This were the 5th times we were at hotel Ideal in Bolzano and it is still a super nice hotel with good kvality and a super breakfast

We stayed here for 4 nights - family of 5 with kids age 13,10 and 4. The facilities were great and catered to all our needs with activities to keep our kids occupied. The kids loved the many pools which was one of the reason we chose to stay here. With half board we enjoyed a delicious breakfast and really good 3 course dinner. The only but is there was no variation in the kids’ menu which consisted of the same item to pick from. And it was the classic nuggets, burger or turkey snitzel with fries or pasta. Our kids like food, so they were quite disappointed because they had been looking forward to different pastas dishes, being in Italy. This is the only reason why we’re are reluctant to stay here another time, to deprive the kids of good food

Everything was excellent : swimming pools (2 on the roof top, one inside) fitness room , breakfast ….if you go by Bolzano it is the place to go. In addition you will have the Bolzano card which grant you many access (public transport , museum ….). Parking is excellent too. Just perfect and marvelous

We stayed at Hotel Ideal Park in Feb 2023 while we attended a figure skating competition in Egna, about 7 km away from Laives where Hotel Ideal Park is located. They were expecting only my husband as a single traveler but put us in a new double room to accommodate both of us. Room was spacious with double “French beds.” The room could also accommodate three more people such as a family with a single bed that had a trundle bed below and a fold-down bed above. Bathroom was large and kept very clean. Breakfast buffet had good selections including a cook who made scrambled eggs, omelets and pancakes to order. Coffee is from a machine; the cappuccinos are pretty good. The machine offers multiple coffee choices, all of them good. The restaurant lunches and dinners are good with daily changes in the menus at dinner. They always have pizza available at lunch and dinner. We did not take advantage of the hotel’s pools or the sauna but they looked inviting. We can only imagine how popular the rooftop water slide would be with kids in the summers. A nice perk from the hotel is the free “Bolzano card” which gets one free rides on the local public transit plus admissions and/or discounts to many places in Bolzano. We had a rental car. Underground parking was not a problem and is free with your room. There is a EuroSpar grocery store across the street if you need additional food or supplies. As noted by another reviewer tissues are not supplied by the hotel so you might want to drop by the grocery store for a box of tissues. The town is not large but there are a few sights within an easy walk. Many restaurants in the area that seem to feature various pizzas. We would stay at Hotel Ideal Park again if our travels ever take us to this area.
