Guest Reviews

• cmrlj (10/5): A great hotel for a great skiing vacation - This hotel is great. It’s a fascinating conversion of an old fortress. It’s beautifully decorated and very clean. The staff makes you feel welcome; they’re very professional and friendly. The food exceeded expectations—I’d especially recommend the dinners. The hotel is a few minutes’ drive from Arabba and the ski slopes, but the hotel taxi runs to and from Arabba. There’s absolutely nothing I’d miss or could complain about.

• Matthias (9/5): -
• Ema (10/5): Beautiful winter retreat - -Good food, especially dinner (salat buffet and than 2 meals of choice plus dessert) -Pancakes for breakfast -Ski shuttle is super efficient, we never waited more than 10min -Hotel staff is very friendly -Hotel is very nicely decorated -Spa area can be too loud. I would prefer ‘adults only’, because once there were adolescent children staring.
• Mara (8/5): Una bella vacanza - Il cibo il personale il servizio navetta piu o meno tutto L'idromassaggio a pagamento Il piumone preferisco lenzuola e coperte
• Eva (9/5): -
• Barbora (8/5): -
• Sabina (10/5): -
• mlinarik (9/5): - Superkind staff, truely familiar atmosphere here The kitchen was quite good, but there be was not very wide selection of food, if you are here for a week or longer and Also restaurant was open only for two hours for a dinner.
• Romain (9/5): Un séjour à la montagne comme à la maison - La beauté du lieu, la sympathie du personnel et la chaleur des lieux -
• Schubert (9/5): - Location, struttura Scala di accesso
• Joerg (8/5): Gut gelegen, direkt an der Hauptstrasse - Ruhige Zimmer auf der Talseite des Hotels. Restaurant Mittelmässig.
• René (9/5): Fantastisch mooi en goed hotel met uitstekende faciliteiten - Erg goed hotel; prachtig en zeer smaakvol ingericht; zeer vriendelijk personeel; goed en uitgebreid ontbijt; ligt centraal in de Dolomieten, en kan dus goed als uitvalsbasis dienen. Het hotel ligt direct aan een doorgaande drukke weg; parkeerplek was er zeker, maar kan bij veel gasten wellicht probleem worden
• 富田英夫 (7/5): - サウナがありました。 サウナ以外のジャグジーバスとかが使えなかった
• Simon (10/5): -
• Robert (8/5): -
• Samantha (7/5): Soggiorno nel forte. - I dettagli, la struttura e la pulizia. La cortesia dei proprietari. La spa. Non era attiva l acqua calda del percorso kneipp, non vi erano le tisane che erano speciali servite a colazione, e la panca calda era spenta. Percorso fatto venerdì pomeriggio.
• Sonya (9/5): Fantastic stay in a historic building that is a pleasure to experience - Fantastic historical building and very nicely restored. Really nice room and facilities, breakfast was awesome. Nothing
• Claudia (10/5): 10/10 stay!!! - Hotel Al Forte was AMAZING! Not only it has the most lovely staff but also one of the best pasta dishes we’ve ever tried! On top of that our room was beautifully decorated! You can tell they do take care of the whole hotel! It’s very clean and cozy! Also they have an amazing relaxing area! If you come to the Dolomites, this is your best choice where to stay!
• Hans (9/5): Nachtje dolomieten - Zeer leuk hotel. Alleraardigst personeel! Mooie kamer met balkon en prachtig uitzicht. Hele leuke bar en mooi restaurant. Locatie is natuurlijk wat afgelegen en de badkamer mag een kleine renovatie hebben. Vond de kamerprijs daarom wel te hoog.
• Jürgen Perl (9/5): - Meeeeega Unterkunft.. alles tippitoppi 👍
• Sabine (10/5): -
• NEIL (9/5): -
• Andrew (9/5): Lovely. - Plenty of space in the room. Good menu in the restaurant and the waitresses were great and looked after us really well. Breakfast was a buffet and just fine. This is a lovely family run hotel and I can highly recommend it. The only downsize is that it is about 3-4 km from Arabba so there is not much else around if you don't have vehicle.
• Daniele (9/5): - In poche parole è stato tutto perfetto. La struttura è meravigliosa in ogni aspetto, sia architettonico che nella gestione degli spazi, dalle camere, agli spazi comuni, al parcheggio. Cucina ottima e ultimo ma non ultimo la cordialità, la simpatia e l'accoglienza della proprietà e di tutto lo staff. Inoltre la posizione è fantastica per raggiungere la partenza delle escursioni di molti itinerari delle dolomiti. Andateci di corsa!
• Richard (10/5): Fantastisch - Het meest fantastische hotel waar ik ooit ben geweest. Super leuk en vriendelijk personeel en eigenaar. Ga er zeker nogmaals heen.
• Milos (9/5): -
• Julia (8/5): Schönes Hotel zum weiterempfehlen - Es war alles super, schöne Ambiente, sauberes Zimmer
• Christina (10/5): Hyggeligt autentisk hotel - Virkelig fint hotel. Hyggeligt og god og venlig service
• Alessandro (9/5): -
• Jari (10/5): Zwischenstopp mit Fahhrad - Abendessen mit speziellem Arrangement, welches sonst nur Mehrtagesgästen zur Verfügung steht: Feines Essen mit teils Buffets, so dass auch ein hungriger Sportler-Magen satt wurde. Zimmer und Terasse mit Blick auf einen Dolomiten-Berg und besonders freundlicher Empfang. Eher etwas gehobener Standard, für mich als Radreisenden nicht zwingend erforderlich (Buchung zwecks Verfügbarkeit). Dennoch habe ich es geschätzt, in die Sauna und ins Dampfbad zu gehen. Info: Sprudelbad-Nutzung nur gegen Aufpreis/Jeton.

• Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rose (10/5): Great location, experience and value - The staff working at the property were very attentive, professional, friendly, and quick to resolve any questions/queries/issues we had. Location is ideal for all the summer hiking we wanted to be doing, and the spa facilities on site were very good! Lovely to be able to have breakfast outside with a nice view, and wifi was very good! Shower took a while to warm up on occasion, and I’m guessing water pressure can vary quite a bit in the mountains. Minimal toiletries provided.
• Daphne (10/5): We had a great week at Hotel Al Forte. The family run hotel is beautifully cared for. The owners are always quick to res - Lovely cosy family hotel with lots of character.
• Boyan (8/5): Great place for a ski trip! - Great location for a ski trip, near ski lifts, supermarket, restaurants etc.
• Domen (10/5): 5 star review - Dinner service was spectacular, from the staff to food. Staff was welcoming and nice, always there if we had any questions. Adding that we were never left hungry after dinner or breakfast. And Christmas dinner? Just simply amazing from every angle. And I will never forget how accomodating they were when we asked for one last shuttle to the slopes, even if we have already checked out and they weren't offering it that day. They did it without hestitation. Thank you all for amazing Italian hospitality in the hearth of Dolomites And a friendly reminder for future guests is to bring your own bathroom robes and definetely some slippers for sauna and just walking from room to restaurant. Pictures down below shows you how amazing the food is. I really don't have anything bad to say about Al Forte.
• Darja (10/5): Exceptional -
• Frans (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ronald (9/5): Don't miss this fantastic hotel! - Parts of this wonderful hotel were formerly a Austrian fort built in the late 19th century. The fort was shelled extensively during WWI by Italian forces. It was patched up and turned into a small but fantastic hotel. We enjoyed the restaurant. I wish I could have stayed longer, but there were no available rooms.
• Judy (9/5): Hope to return one day - Loved the setting and comfortable and spacious room
• Mark (9/5): Very cool place to stay. - Great room. Staff was very friendly. Comfy bed. Wonderful breakfast. Would definitely stay here again. Was unusually warm for September and would have appreciated air conditioning.
• Mathieu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vernon (9/5): Superb -
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Bathroom a bit old
• Josip (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable and clean room, very kind staff and owners, amazing view from bar terrace
• Tatiana (3/5): Although we ate very well, we're unlikely to return - The location and landscape are magnificent. The restaurant staff are impeccable and extremely dedicated and efficient. We ate very well, both at dinner and at breakfast. The room was small, old and very dilapidated. The bathroom was dirty and things were falling off by themselves (for example a wall bracket and the tap), the light bulbs were flickering and the plaster on the ceiling was falling off. The room smelt of damp and the bed was very uncomfortable. The room I booked had a double bed and a bunk bed (it said it could sleep 6 adults max). Although there were only two of us, the room we stayed in didn't appear to be an upgrade and we weren't informed of the change.
• Henrik (9/5): Superb -
• Gabrijela (10/5): Exceptional - We had a really nice and comfortable stay in Hotel Al Forte. The room was very clean and had everything we needed (big bed, small refrigerator, bathroom with hairdryer, TV and even balcony). The restaurant had amazing staff, various options for breakfast and great dinners. Lots and lost of food with many different options. The hotel was very close to a small town called Arabba where you can buy freshly made sandwiches for hiking (in Despar). We were close to most of the hiking trails and were very happy with our stay. Highly reccommend! Tha pressure in the shower was sometimes very low so the shower took longer while we had to wait for the water to come again.
• charlotte (10/5): - Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff, clean as a whistle and view that are out of this world. Highly recommended. Absolutely loved it.
• Julie (9/5): Fabulous place - Amazing property. Catered exceptionally well re: gluten free.
• Tarkan (6/5): Breakfast could improve and bathrooms needs a total renovation -
• Tarkan (6/5): Pleasant - Needs an upgrade in the bathrooms
• Antoinette (8/5): Very good -
• Nick (8/5): Very good -
• Michal (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is extremely welcoming, combining original fortress architecture with a modern extension. The design of the hotel is very sensitive to every detail. The staff is very helpful, attentive to the needs of the guests. In addition to the very pleasant wellness center, I would also appreciate the friendliness of the restaurant and the quality of the food. We have been to the hotel for the second time and would be happy to return again. Absolutely no complaints
• Desislava (9/5): Excellent hotel - The service in the hotel is perfect. Although it is not on the ski slopes, they have a very regular shuttle that drives you to and from the lift, so it does not affect in any way the ski experience. The hotel is in very beautiful old stony building, it looks very cute and romantic inside, but in the restaurant is a bit chilly, so make sure to have warmer clothes for the dinners. Also, the spa area is quite small, so it gets a bit crowded.
• Darja (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (10/5): Paradise in the mountains - Cozy hotel in a beautiful area of Dolomites. Super clean facilities very good restaurant. .
• HOWON (10/5): - In summer vacation, I have stayed seven hotel and Al Forte is best place. Hotel is so traditional but clean and good. Especially, people are kind to my children and we are so happy for great room upgrade. Dinner is the best in all my abroad meal and I strongly recommend you half board. I hope there stay again if I go to Dolomite in future.
• Marcus (10/5): Excellent hotel. Will stay again - Very friendly and welcoming owners and staff Nothing
• Graham (9/5): Wonderful hotel & staff, great food ! - Breakfast was excellent. Hairdryer hose kept coming off !
• Arindam (10/5): A great place with warmth and quality! - Right from checking in when Debra welcomed is till the last day it felt very comfortable....a very easy environment. Debra and Guido run an amazing show with attention to detail and always with a solution. Even a request for some special food for our furry four legged was so promptly dealt with! Warmth every where. Seham and Hermano in the restaurant and bar were always there with a smile. And if you want a view...ask for room 28!
• Anthony (10/5): Friendly and scenic hotel - In the countryside with fabulous scenery from the the roof terrace. Room was a good size and a little old fashioned, but not in a bad way. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Great food Some of the stairs were difficult for me with a bad leg.
• Brad (10/5): - Very pleasant stay
• Jose (10/5): Amazing ! My country is Catalonia, not EsPain - The spa, the grappa a le liccorezza and the alpenglow over mountains ;-) Water in whirpool was very hot
• Tomáš (10/5): Exceptional - Super place i center of Arabba
• Jason (10/5): We left too early for breakfast, & they did us an excellent packed lunch. Which was needed! - Great staff. Very accommodating
• tanasorn (10/5): - We love this hotel even it a little bit of way it is worth it. It is beautiful and great survice. Every one was nice and professional
• Sarah (10/5): Unique beautiful place to stay with all the amenities - Beautiful building full of history and charm. The room was very clean and modern with a huge balcony. The dinner and breakfast were perfect! The wellness center was great with a sauna and steam bath perfect for relaxing after a hike. The staff was wonderful and we just wish we had stayed longer. Nothing
• Piotr (10/5): Exceptional - Great atmosphere, amazing restaurant, fantastic people - we spent 8 wonderful days in the ski season with 2 children. We got a large superior suite with a private jacuzzi, very comfortable, my children were in the focus of the staff who always fulfill all our wishes. We were so pleased with the great Italian cuisine and hospitality that we wanted to dine only at the hotel. Very close to the ski area, with a private ski bus. The most beautifull and comfortable place I have ever been in the Dolomites.
• Xin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eliška (9/5): Nice cottage for a holiday with family and friends. - We did not live directly in a hotel, but in a cottage in the center of Arabba. The cottage was spacious, the beds in the bedrooms comfortable, the kitchen nice and quite well equipped, the bathroom very nice. The only thing that was a problem at the beginning was the sofa bed because there were 6 of us. The mattresses there were very low and uncomfortable. But then we found a nice high mattress on the way and we put the 2 thin ones on top of each other and it turned out to be a quite comfortable bed for two, so everything was in order. We were also in the wellness at the hotel, which was quite good, except we had a bit of a problem with the whirlpool. I would definitely return there the next time I go to the Dolomites. As I mentioned, we had to help ourselves with the couch so that we could sleep on it. It was our luck that a spare mattress was stored there. I took a stitch for that couch, otherwise everything was fine.
• Fredrik (10/5): - Excellent service!
• Mikko (10/5): Hiking trip in dolomites - Spend 2 nigts at al forte as a part of our trip around Italy . Just everything worked out. Room was excactly as described, steak at the restaurant was the best (at that time of the trip atleast) ;) staff was very friendly, and veeeeery random checkout time was organized nicely with a staff. Only negative thing was that We werent able to try the breakfast as we went off so early during morning times:)
• Monserrat (8/5): The hotel is ok! - Good place
• Andreas (8/5): Von außen Top aber im Inneren gibt's Mängel - Vorerst sei festgestellt, dass Essen und das Personal sind super. Aber alleine schon der Wellnessbereich ist nix. Klein, dunkel keine direkte Anbindung ins Freie. Es gibt dort vier Liegen. Mit 6 Personen ist die Sauna voll!! Das Bad in unserem Zimmer hat eiskalten Boden und in der Nacht senkt die Heizung ab und die Heizkörper werden kalt. Ich brauch das nicht, da ist meine Sauna bei mir privat Zuhause größer und die Böden in den Bädern sind geheizt. Sorry aber leider war es genau so.
• Phil M. (10/5): So quaint! - Beautiful cozy, quaint place to stay. Perfect location for Quiet yet close to what we wanted to do.
• Sara (10/5): Allt var toppen! - Rena och fresha rum. Fantastisk service. Lugnt område, några minuter med bil till Arabba. Fin utsikt från balkongen. Tack för fina dagar, vi kommer gärna tillbaka!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Im Grossen und Ganzen gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältniss, sehr freundliches Personal!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nearly great! - Spent two nights there. Staff are super friendly, beautiful hotel but our room had a very ugly and badly 'repaired' crack the full length of the ceiling and the pillows were just balls of very old fluff - hideous! Shame, as otherwise a good experience. Beautiful location, close to Corvara which is a great place to visit. Easy for Cortina and the Sella pass.
• charles (10/5): Great position from which to base a walking holida - The whole week was a great experience. We were warmly welcomed and well looked after by the staff in the bar and restaurant who were exceptional. Great walking and magnificent scenery.
• Dr.J (10/5): ドロミテ山塊の中にある一軒家で静かで歴史あるホテル - フランツ・ヨーゼフ皇帝の要塞として実際に使用されていた建物がレストランとバーになっていて歴史を感じて素晴らしかったです。また周りにホテルはおろか何も無いのがかえって素晴らしかったです。部屋の作りも良く、調度品も凝ってて大変魅力的でした。ポルドイ峠にも車で近く、ドロミテの観光にも便利なロケーションでした。
• Diane (10/5): Très satisfait - Bel hotel dans les dolomites. Très bien reçu, la chambre avait une vue sur la montagne, le restaurant était excellent, le chef parlait un peu le français. Nous le recommandons sans hésitation si vous passez dans les environs.
• Luca (10/5): - Ottima posizione tranquilla e a pochi km dalle piste della sella , cucina ottima e camere confortevoli e sopratutto pulite, i proprietari gentilissimi lo consiglio
