    Pros +

    • Helpful staff. Good breakfast.
    • Amazing hospitality. Rooms are perfect. Food was great and the sauna was a great surprise.
    • I love the hotel Very nice decoration I felt like i am part of the old story I like all corners . It reflect the original Italy design. Really i recommended it to all my family and friends . The women in the restaurant is very nice

    Cons -

    • So many stairs-no lift. Pretty plain room. Didn’t love dinner but were glad the restaurant was open.
    • Rooms are (as expected) not very soundproof. Also, during dinner, we had to really wait to be served, which kind of ruined a mood at evening a bit.
    • Location is in a no car access area so it can be tricky to work out where you need to go by car.

    Nice quiet place with historical feel. Bus included in South Tirol ticket - 20min to lake

    Emma Historic Hotel is the perfect base camp for most of the Iconic hikes in the dolomites. Breakfast was included. Spa equipped with sauna, steam, and red light was included. Over all a wonder stay and Daniel at reception was very friendly!

    Splendid little hotel that just glows with the warmth, like the whole little village does. Don’t expect anything fancy here, you will get squeaky floor wooden rooms, but that is the charm of it all. Everything is super clean, and the bathrooms are renovated/modern with floor heating. You have free parking at site. Food is really great, for breakfast you don’t get a crazy lot of options, but everything you get is local and really delicious.The receptionist is really nice, he showed us POIs on the map and recommended hiking tours that we can take with our kid. And his honey (served at breakfast as well) is top-level!

    Rooms are (as expected) not very soundproof. Also, during dinner, we had to really wait to be served, which kind of ruined a mood at evening a bit.

    Daniel the host was superb. He found us snowshoe walks when there was little snow.The beds were really comfortable.The buffet breakfast and the evening dinner were both excellent.

    The hotel is very cozy, quiet and feels very historic - there's a ton of different historic pictures and posters in the hotel which we really enjoyed going through and learning something new on each day of our stay. Breakfast is fantastic, especially loved local honey and butter from the farm. Restaurant is also great for dinners (we missed our lunches), homemade deserts is something I'd definitely would advise not to miss!Super friendly staff, we felt like at home during these three days! Thank you so much Emma Hotel!

    Complementary upgrade and outstanding facilities

    Location is in a no car access area so it can be tricky to work out where you need to go by car.

    This hotel is in a great location with a beautiful restaurant and pub attached. The rooms very small but very comfortable and the beds were very comfy. Bathroom and shower great. The buffet breakfast was fantastic. Would highly recommend!

    10CharlottePosted on: 10-7-2024

    Great hotel with a central location. We went paragliding in Kronplatz and only had to take a small train to get there. We also went to Lago do braies (must go to!) and only took a short bus ride. Breakfast was delicious and dinner was to die for!

    10IoannisPosted on: 10-4-2024

    Very friendly staff. The room was perfect with a wonderful bathroom and very clean. Breakfast was decent. Perfect location as well if you want to visit Tre Cime and Lago di Braies.

    Beautiful room, very clean and comfortable. Perfect location near train station, buses, and town square.

    8AdiPosted on: 6-13-2024

    Was good, nice breakfast.

    The design wasn’t best. Also didn’t change the towels that we already used.

    10IlzePosted on: 6-11-2024

    I liked everything about this hotel, starting with the location (very good starting point to explore Lago di Braies, Tre Cime, Plätzwiese etc.), the coazyness of my room, and of course the hospitabilty of the owners, I immediately felt welcomed and taken care of. They also have very good restaurant and pizzeria, the pizza I had there was one of the best! All in all this hotel made my Dolomites trip even more perfect! Thank you!!!

    10HarijsPosted on: 6-5-2024

    Exactly what expected, gorgeous location, and best breakfast of whole of our Italian holiday, with plenty of options. Also enjoyed the typical German/austrian restaurant with its fresh cuisine and ice cream.Lovely Austrian cultural vibes due to proximity.

    10TerryPosted on: 5-30-2024

    Breakfast was good. Very clean. Staff was helpful. Good location near bus stop and train station.

    Amazing food. Try the lemon curd pie, you won’t forget it. Friendly staff, clean room, comfy beds with soft pillows!

    We couldn’t turn the underfloor heating off in the bathroom. It’s probably a switch we didn’t find, but it meant the room was a bit too warm during our stay, there are windows to open though.

    10AndreasPosted on: 5-15-2024

    Room was clean and cozy.The hotel has a very nice historical ambiance but at the same time fresh and without the feeling of worn out. Staff friendly and very helpful.Hotel restaurant for dinner is a must try.

    Breakfast was very good but could include more egg options like omelet or scrambled eggs.The lack of elevator could be a problem if you have difficulties walking.
