Tyrolean Lodge

relatively inexpensive, «ski-​dorm-​style» building, but quite nice rooms, friendly staff, conveniently located
a find

So great except one of the beds appeared to be less than freshly laundered. Other than that great set up.

We ended up at the lodge basically because everywhere else was full… it was a prime leaf peeping weekend in the Aspen area. We aren’t terribly fussy when it comes to places to sleep because in the end, they’re just that — places to sleep.
The front desk was great — very nice lady working there who was very happy and helpful. The rooms are a good size and the bathrooms/​fridge/​etc work fine. The location of the lodge is also perfect — just a quick 5min walk to the center of town, walking mall, restaurants, etc.
My complaints are as follows: uncomfortable beds/​pillows, and little to no sound proofing between floors and the outdoors. They provide you with a little jar of earplugs, and that basically says it all. I did appreciate them though. I definitely could not have slept without them. Between the road noise and the constant noise of footsteps above me (we were on the 2^nd of 3 levels), we were lucky to get any sleep at all. I honestly don’t think that we will be back because in the end, I am paying for a place to sleep… and that was hard to come by. If you are a hard sleeper this really shouldn’t be an issue.

This is by far the best deal of any kind in Aspen Co. For the price, this is a castle compared to the prices of all other establishments. The rooms are big and have kitchenettes. The man at the counter was awesome. I came on a motorcycle in August and he showed me where to park it where it would be safe and offered a hose to wash it off. I love this place and will always stay here when is Aspen. It won’t rape you wallet and it’s close to all the downtown sites and fun. I would recommend The Tyrolean Lodge anytime.

I don’t usually leave reviews but this is one of the coolest hotels I have ever stayed in and am torn on this review. Too many good reviews and the place will be too full to stay there again. Ha really really cool place and there is a full kitchen and floating chiminea in our room. Very friendly on the budget as well.

Awesome. The hotel operator is great and a huge help with everything. It’s a nice quaint place, kind of like your grandfathers cabin or basement. Super fair on price and everything is in walking distance. The bus stop is also right outside so that’s nice. I go up to Aspen every year and have stayed with these guys 4 years in a row!

This is the first hotel we stayed at in Downtown Aspen. The price was really reasonable and the room was large. We love the kitchen and plenty of place to hang/​store our stuff. The fridge came handy if you want to bring drinks. There was limited number of parking spots, but the hotel staff ensured we have a place to put our car. The only thing we wish the hotel to have is a hot tub, but I guess there’s really no space around to put it. The location is great, only a few blocks walk to all the restaurants and bars. Bus stops to other Aspen ski areas are within a couple of blocks. It is right on Main Street, so if you open the window you can hear street noise, but we had no problem sleeping through the night.

My girlfriend and I recently stayed (2) nights during the busiest time of the year here — New Years Eve and New Years Day before changing hotels to be closer to the mountain.
DISCLAMER: Yes it’s old, but it’s awesome. Not to mention, it’s a great deal.
The location is on MAIN street which is a simple 5−10min walk to the center of town. Also, Main street is the «main» road where the FREE shuttle buses travel to pick passengers up to head out of town to Buttermilk, Snowmass, Highland Mt (which are 10−20mins away).
I highly recommend staying here for ONE or TWO nights, acclimate yourself with town, talk to locals — then, move a few blocks up to another property in the center of town. Be prepared, prices for hotels near the mountain are about double, some triple the amount of Tyrolean.
Lastly, the owner is super friendly & funny. So, don’t be rude & take a few secs to engage in conversation with him.
Have fun!

I usually stay in Snowmass but if I ever stayed in Aspen again, this is where I would stay.
To go over my hotel checklist:
Clean ~ definitely… no question of whether I should stick my feet into the sheets or not.
Affordable ~ in Aspen, this place is definitely affordable
Convenient ~ it was a quick walk to the main part of Aspen. We were easily able to get to the free concerts in Aspen and to the Belly Up.
Added bonus was the nice gentleman working there. We had some very mundane conversations but I liked it.

Good location, low price, kitchen, nice desk guy, clean, locally owned. What more do you want?

Cheap, excellent three bed single room worked perfectly fine for our accommodation for the recent Umphrey’s McGee concert.

If you want to do Aspen on a budget the Tyrolean is the way to go! We stayed here for about $ 65 a night and it was exactly what we needed. Every room has two queen beds and a twin size, an updated bathroom, mini fridge, and a stove top. The manager (David) is extremely friendly and helpful. He knew everything about where to go and eat in Aspen.
The Tyrolean is right on Main Street Aspen so you are just blocks away from great restaurants, shops, and the main attraction (in April at least) Belly Up! This is an absolutely adorable old motel — a great value in an extremely expensive city. I will be back!
