Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I am writing to share my recent experience at Rainell Dolomites Retreat and advise against staying there. The cost of the room was disproportionately high given its quality and the extremely poor amenities. The actual condition of the property and rooms bears no resemblance to the images displayed on their website. Furthermore, the owners, who also operate the business, demonstrated a complete lack of customer service throughout my stay. The room itself had several issues, including a leaking shower and no body wash provided. The location is also incredibly inconvenient, making it difficult to access. There are many better alternatives available nearby, offering superior accommodations and more convenient access to local restaurants and the town. I strongly recommend choosing a different establishment for your stay.

The family and staff of Rainelle are so welcoming and delightful. The Silent Room with the incredible view of the mountains was a special experience that sets this hotel above the rest. The rooms are especially large and comfortable. There is a taxi stand in town that we took one evening after dinner since the bus had stopped running, to avoid the long walk up the hill. We walked the hill twice and it is challenging but totally doable if you are in decent shape. We are in our early 60s and in the area to hike so it didn't bother us too much.

This was a beautifully maintained property. All the staff were friendly and helpful and went out of their way to assist the guests. Lots of ammenities too! We were given some great hiking advice from the front desk. The town was so cute and we were able to take the gondolas/lifts to the top for some spectacular hiking. Highly recommend this family owned hotel!

Amazing hotel, amazing view, would stay again!

We stayed here for two nights and I only wish we had stayed longer!! The local area is fantastic for scenery and hiking and the town of Ortisei is so charming! We picked this hotel because of the location, ease of parking and the spectacular views and I can only say that we made a fantastic choice! There is a spacious parking lot, and the top area fills up so check down below if there aren't any spaces up top. Our room was beautiful, we were upgraded to a room with a balcony and an amazing view of town so we could sit out on our balcony and enjoy the view and fresh mountain air! The bed was super comfy too! The main downside was the shower. There is a glass partition to help keep the water in, but it doesn't do a great job so the floor gets all covered in water, so be careful, don't leave clothes on the floor. The amenities at this hotel are fantastic! They have a pool, a sauna and various other spa features, including you can book massages. They really cater to people who stay longer, offering guided group hikes in the nearby mountains (one reason I wish we had stayed longer). The breakfast spread offered by the hotel is fantastic! Hot and cold food, cheeses, cold cut meats, pastries, fruit and veggies, yogurt, eggs, juice, everything! We also ate dinner at the hotel one night and the food was amazing, definitely worth it, and after a long day of hiking in the mountains, it was nice not to have to leave the hotel in the evening. I loved this hotel!!

Perfect Hotel in a Great Town

The hotel was a true resort hotel. From the moment we walked in they led us to our room and explained our dinner options, transportation, and other activities. Because Ortesei is not a large town and there is plenty of space the room itself is very large. It was great having the extra space after the tiny rooms in Venice. The pool is kept to a nice 87 degrees so you can use it even when it's chilly outside. Dont forget your pool towels and robes when you go. As far as location Ortesei is a great home base in the Dolomites. The gondolas go right over this hotel and if you plan on hiking to Compatsch it's mostly downhill. The town had numerous little shops and restaurants. One cool thing was they gave us weekly bus passes so we were able to go up the lifts in Ortesei, go down at Suisi, and bus through the other small towns. At a minimum it's a free ride back to Balzano where the train station is.

Great view of mountains around St. Ulrich.

Wonderful location, although tough walk into the town when you have to walk up the steep hill to get back to the hotel. Dinner in the in-house restaurant was imaginative and well prepared. Staff was extremely attentive.

Great 4-star hotel!

Great breakfasts and dinners at the hotel. Especially the four-course gourmet dinner at 15 euro per person was excellent, convenient, and more than reasonable priced. The hotel is a remodeled charming old hotel, with tasty deco and a feel of history. The location is great (5-10 walk to the town, a little on the hill)The staff was friendly and helpful. Parking right at the hotel, was free and easy. The saunas and pool were also included. They are new and very well maintained. It was very relaxing to use the sauna with incredible views after a day of active hiking. Everything was great except for the slow and unstable wifi from the room. But it did not bother us very much. We enjoyed the big room with view, the food and the town, the nature very much.

A wonderful hotel just off the beaten path from the main square. 15 minute walk to town. Very amicable and helpful staff except maybe the one bartender/waiter who tended the bar the evening we were there. Would highly recommend.

highly recommend!

the hotel is absolutely great. Everything was perfect including the service of both the owner and the stuff. the location is ok, not the best, as the hotel is situated up on the hill so in order to get to the center, you would have to use your car or go by foot which might not be so comfortable. (there is a free shuttle service that operates mornings and afternoons) We used our car for getting to the center and to go to more remote sections of this amazing ski resort. breakfast was great too. Dinner was nice and Reasonably priced. All in all, I was very happy with it.

Superb hotel you feel welcome from the moment you arrive until departure. Large selection buffet breakfast and the 5 course evening meal is a must. the rooms are very large and immaculate. Hope to get back again some day.
