Old time splendor

We arrived late and were welcomed warmly. The next morning the owner gave us good directions and even called ahead for us to check on road conditions. Breakfast was nice with splendid view of river.

Hyggelig ophold

Hyggeligt hotel med god service. Dog var aftensmaden en smule skuffende, havde håbet på noget bedre. Lækker morgenmad, med noget for enhver smag.

Läpikulkumatkalla

Maksuton pysäköinti. Hotelli sijaitsee kauniilla paikalla. Hotelli ja hotellihuoneet ovat vanhahtavia. Läheisen tien liikenteen äänet kuuluivat huoneeseen. Aamiainen oli riittävä.

Verdt å dra hit bare for maten!

Utrolig godt fornøyd med oppholdet på Dølen Hotel. Vi fikk rom 12, i 3.etg med flott utsikt over Otra. Nydelige omgivelser. Fantastisk god mat i restauranten. Jeg reiser mye og det er sjeldent å oppleve så godt tilberedt mat i en hotellrestaurant. Verdt et besøk bare for maten. Hyggelige folk som tar deg godt imot. Fiskestang ligger ved bryggen om man har tid og lyst til å fiske på egen hånd. Anbefaler på det sterkeste Dølen.
