A real find.
We stayed here one night only and that was because we headed up a day early to do the Bernina Express. What a brilliant choice to do that as the hotel is just so beautifully stunning. The staff were just wonderful and very very helpful. We couldn’t have picked better. Have to say Tirano is a beautiful town, often overlooked because of it’s illustrious neighbours like Lake Como and St Moritz
Andrea is the perfect host. We will go back

Great stay in a nice town…. Local wine is good too
If I could give them 6 stars I would. Nice 10min walk to town but other good restaurants near by. Great views and should walk outback to the city wall for good city photos! I would also like to thank our host who was very helpful and service was excellent!

We loved our stay. The property had a lovely charm and coziness. Elisa was an amazing host, she helped us with everything from taxi, late night warm milk for the kids. She made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as good as it could be. On our checkout, she waited in the rain with us to make sure we got the taxi safely and gave us umbrellas. I would definitely recommend this property and be back myself for sure.

Andrea is an amazing host. We really felt like we had been invited into his home. The location is his grandmother's house , 700 years old , that has been renovated beautifully. The view, in the evening especially , from just above the house is incredible. Andrea was so welcoming and helpful. He gave us tips on what to see and where to eat, that we really appreciated. We didn't want to leave. If you are ever in Tirano this is the place to go!

Andrea was a very attentive host even before we arrived, coordinating our arrival at 23:00 perfectly. The old chalet style property was just beautiful — modern updates have been made but they match the style of the building exactly. We enjoyed having a large private portion of the balcony to ourselves. There were also a number of comfortable outdoor lounging areas including a roof top patio. The breakfast is definitely worth having — great food (and Andrea cheerfully found some gluten-free options for my celiac daughter). So many restaurants to choose from just a short walk away. The wine bar just at the end of the block is definitely worth going to. We know this is our favorite place to stay on this trip, and we stayed at many places. We plan to come back someday to this very welcoming hostel (we had a private room with its own bath, so felt like we were in a hotel, but there were also rooms with bunkbeds and shared bathrooms). Couldn’t recommend the Ostello de Castello and its owner/host more highly!

Had a wonderful stay at Ostello del Castello Tirano. Andrea the host went above and beyond during my stay giving information about Tirano and helping me with the train. Very peaceful and relaxing one night stay. The room was very pleasant with gorgeous views and a delicious breakfast, which I would recommend.

Great stay at the Ostello del Castello
We stayed here as we were taking the Bernina Express. The owner was really welcoming and gave us lots of advice and recommendations on where to eat and visit. The hotel is in a quiet place and although only 5 mins walk to the train station you cannot hear the trains. It was immaculately clean and the mattress was really comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. We hope to return one day.
