Pension Residence Sonnenheim

Really good value for the money, and it's so peaceful. The little apartment had a kitchen and a beautiful view. The place is very nice, just five minutes from the Merano markets. I'd definitely consider staying here again if I come back to this area.

For three of us, the apartment was much bigger than we expected, and the price was great. It's a place I'd recommend even for a larger family. The terrace and mountain view must be fantastic in summer, and the beds were roomy enough for all three of us. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we appreciated the new, nice soap and glass set in the bathroom. A couple of things could be better: the apartment wasn't as clean as it could be, and there's no bidet. The pillows were too high for us, including the slightly lower ones in the closet. Also, the shared recycling bins for paper, glass, iron, and other things should be kept outside instead of by reception. It wasn't a nice first impression, and the smell when we arrived wasn't great. A two-day visit to the Merano Christmas markets is worth it, especially for the price.

I really don't like leaving bad reviews, but this was an unpleasant stay. The apartment was spacious and clean, yet it stayed cold because the heating was poor during the hours when people would usually shower. We were in Merano in early December. The heating only came on at night, around 6:00 AM, and late in the evening, so the rest of the day the apartment was cold. When I brought it up with the owner, she said that was fixed and wasn't going to change.

The fixed cleaning charge felt disproportionate for a short stay. Still, we were satisfied and would love to come back. The apartment was clean and spacious, on the ground floor of a house where the tenant also lives. The bedroom opens onto a terrace that runs along two sides of the apartment, a nice place to eat outside in summer. The kitchen had only the basics, no moka pot, but we had no trouble making breakfast and dinner.
