Rifugio Castiglioni Marmolada

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.

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

A great mid size refugio with tasty food and good bedding

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.

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.

Location is great and we had the whole refugee for ourselves but it’s really expensive as for such a rural conditions. The stuff is not much interested in you. Almost 100 eur for one night with breakfast( which is also very simple, that simple that we started to bring our own food) is the price that is suitable for a hotel. Also it was very cold inside and the drying room was not working so after a very rainy hike we couldn’t hike anymore as our hiking shoes and clothes didn’t dry even a little. Generally you can find much nicer huts in the area.
