Jeg hadde booket et dobbeltrom på Dølen et halvt år i forveien, men ble ringt opp noen dager før ankomst med beskjed om at det var fullt. De booket meg om til en hytte på Odden Camping og jeg ble fortalt at det var snakk om en ny og fin hytte. Ved ankomst Odden Camping ble jeg tildelt en stor, nyere hytte og sjekket inn i denne. Så fikk jeg beskjed fra Dølen Hotell en time senere om at jeg hadde fått feil hytte og måtte sjekke ut av denne og inn i en ny. Jeg måtte da dra tilbake på campen, pakke meg ut av første hytte og deretter inn i en annen - og denne gang var det snakk om en bitteliten eldre hytte som luktet innestengt kjeller. Ikke akkurat valuta for pengene, og selv om Dølen skyldte på Odden Camping for komplikasjonene med innsjekk synes jeg totalopplevelsen var skikkelig klein.

Helt ok opphold. Pluss for rolige omgivelser, god seng og god frokost. Minus for vegg til vegg teppe på rommet og at skjerming/folie i baderomsvinduet ikke dekket hele ruta, sto i desjen og kunne se ut på veien - og omvendt.

Dølen Hotel-et ærverdig hotell med sjarm og særpreg. Bærer preg av at det er gammelt. Det var veldig innesperret luft på rommet og en gammel lukt.Teppegulv. Hadde trengt en oppgradering/oppussing. Restaurant var veldig fin og nymoderne, imponert av maten, den var skikkelig god. Rent på rommet og badet. Veldig hyggelig personal

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.
