Rifugio Castiglioni Marmolada

The location is great! However the food wasn’t very good, especially for the price. The risotto was undercooked with very little flavour and the ribs were extremely dry. Watch out for the large black dog too, it bit me on my leg while I was looking for a place to hang out some washing and a very poor apology was given by the owners, they didn’t seem to care at all and continued to let the dog roam around freely…. would not recommend this rifugio to others.

Great vegan options (also they are generous with food).. perfect showers and everything nice overall. House feeling

We stayed at six different Rifugios during our hiking trip and unfortunately this one didn’t live up to the standard of the other Rifugios. Private room and showers were okay. However, the dinner and breakfast as part of the half board were extremely bad. Tasteless soup, uneatable ribs and rock hard strudel. Breakfast unfortunately just as poor.

Great people. Great food (try the Tomahawk if in doubt). Great history of the establishment itself and nearby TRINCEE if you dare--it is 10 out of 10). Great location.

Refreshing and well deserved beer after climbing up to the lake. 6 € for a beer.

The real positives: the clothes washing and drying facilities plus boot room is great. The restaurant is rewarding. Good, hearty food done well. Great tiramisu! ||The staff are genuinely helpful and I believe care, but are overworked / under resourced. It shows. Things take an age to resolve. But I stress the several staff we engaged with were cool and we tipped here and there. ||The negatives. The room we had (a four - two bunks) was poor. Dilapidated and unloved. The mattresses were probably bought before the Dolomites were formed and we were not persuaded the bedding was hygienic. ||The real negatives are the showers and (gents) on the second floor. The showers were designed by someone who lacks the capacity to be culpable for anything. There’s nothing logical or desirable about the offer. Truly maddening.

This rifugio was great, the staff was all so kind and it was a great place to rest up for the night.

Free spacious unlimited shower time! Cheap-cost included dinner and breakfast. Breakfast was average. Free wifi. 20 people to the down, could be a con but enjoyed chatting with other hikers! Has washer and dryer! Cute older building. Clean and comfy beds in dorm.
