Hotel Aster is a 3-star property located in a quiet area of Merano, just outside the centre of the well-known South Tyrolean spa town, with an outdoor swimming pool available to guests.
The hotel is run by a professional and friendly staff, highly praised by guests in reviews, and offers spacious rooms equipped with a flat-screen TV, a balcony and, in several room types, garden, pool or mountain views. The available options range from the single room to junior suites with a separate living area, designed for both solo travellers and families.
The day starts with a hearty buffet breakfast, which also includes continental, gluten-free and takeaway options, useful for those wanting to head out early into the surrounding countryside and mountains. Guests of the Aster have access to special rates for the Merano thermal baths, while the free private parking and the bus stop 250 metres away make both driving and using public transport convenient.
The rooms at Hotel Aster range from the 16 sqm Single Room to the 40 sqm Junior Suite, with intermediate options designed for couples and families of up to three people. All rooms have a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and balcony, while the larger room types offer different views: over the garden, the pool, the mountains or the city, depending on the building’s orientation.
Moving up in category, the Superior and Comfort Double Rooms with street view add details such as a walk-in shower, a courtesy set and, in some cases, a complimentary bottle of wine or champagne.

Hotel Aster is located in a residential and quiet area of Merano, just outside the historic centre of the South Tyrolean spa town, on Via Dante. The neighbourhood is dotted with small local bars and restaurants, such as Café Bistro Kolping 350 metres away and Cafe’ Prantl 400 metres away, ideal for breakfast or an aperitif without straying too far from the property.
Getting around is made easier by the bus stop 250 metres away and Merano Railway Station, reachable in about 2.2 km, while Bolzano Airport is 24 km away. A short walk away, about 350 metres, is Parco Maia, a large green area along the Passirio river, perfect for a stroll. A little further, within a kilometre, you’ll find the Sissi Gardens, the Powder Tower and the Touriseum, the museum dedicated to alpine agriculture housed in Trauttmansdorff Castle, whose botanical gardens are about 950 metres away.
Merano is best known for its thermal baths, with discounted rates reserved for hotel guests, but it offers much more throughout the year: in summer, walks along the Passirio river and excursions to the Parcines waterfall (Partschinser Wasserfall), about 9 km away, and in winter, proximity to the slopes of the Dolomites and South Tyrol. The historic centre, with the Princely Castle 1.3 km away and the Women’s Museum nearby, can be comfortably visited on foot or by bike starting from the property.
