Hugely recommended1 Such an incredible stay at Ostello del Castello Tirano. The room was incredible and the location is amazing. Our kids (and we) loved it. Andrea couldn't have been more helpful and made our short stay very memorable - would absolutely recommend and won't hesitate to stay next time we're in the area. Thank you!

So nice and friendly place to stay! A very personal hotel and Andrea was so helpful with answering all our questions. A big plus was that there was a small play area for our kids to play a bit and the breakfast was very nice as well!

A beautiful stay for one night en route from the Bernina express. Beautiful family room accomodation, spotlessly clean, with a wonderful friendly and kind host. Easy short walk from the train station with 3 kids plus luggage. Sorry we couldn't stay longer! Ten stars!!

What a lovely find! It was built on the 1500s and you literally feel like you've stepped back in time within those stone walls. The owners have created such a warm atmosphere that made us feel like we were guests at a home rather than a hotel. There were even toys for my son to play with. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. The only downside was that there is no AC and it can get rather hot. We were sweating through the night even with the fan on... Apart from that, I can't recommend this enough! It is such a unique find!

If you’re looking for a place with genuine Italian hospitality, this is it. The little castle is full of character, beautifully restored, and feels more like staying in a historic home than a hostel. Every corner reflects care and attention to detail. What truly made our stay unforgettable was Andrea. His warmth, local recommendations, and sincere passion for welcoming guests turned a great stay into an exceptional experience. He made us feel like friends rather than visitors. If you’re traveling through Tirano for the Bernina Express or exploring the region, don’t miss this hidden gem. We’d gladly stay here again. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful yet short stay before our Bernina Express train journey. Andrea, our host, was very kind and helpful. He shared stories of his family and the area and gave us suggestions for exploring the town. He knew we had to leave early in the morning for the train and had a wonderful and fresh breakfast ready for us. The hostel is very cute and cozy, with thoughtful touches throughout, including color/coordinated towels and cups for the bathroom, and a beautiful outdoor terrace space. A short trail leads up behind the hostel for quiet and beautiful views of the town and surrounding mountains. Stay here and you will not be disappointed!

Unique and relaxing stay

We had a lovely stay at this unique character-filled small hotel. The hosts Andrea and his son were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great value and included local yoghurts, breads, pastries and delicious local meat and cheese. We also really enjoyed evening sundowners on the little terrace upstairs.
