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.

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.

Für Kurzaufenthalt ok

Doppel Zimmer sehr klein. Wenig bis gar keine Abstellmöglichkeit für Gepäck. Bad hell mit Fenster aber mit extrem kleiner Dusche. Bett zu weich. Kissen sehr gut. Ruhige Lage zum Fluss. Frühstück von guter Qualität . WLAN ungenügend

OK lite hotell

Stort sett helt greit sett i forhold til antall stjerner. Rent og helt ok dobbeltrom og bad. 2 elementer som trakk ned: Sterk matlukt i gangen (2. etasje) når kjøkkenet laget mat og vinduet på rommet hadde skjev ramme og kunne ikke lukkes helt uten å virkelig ta i med fare for å ødelegge noe. Ble imidlertid fortalt at dette skal pusses opp i løpet av de kommende månedene. Stort pluss for hyggelige ansatte og god frokost. Synes nok at prisen er litt i overkant i forhold til standard, men det er vel unntakstider for alt som har med priser å gjøre om dagen.

Beetje oudbollig hotel. Toe aan een renovatie. Er miste tegeltjes in de douchecellen. Wel espressoapparaat, geen waterkoker voor thee. Tijdens ontbijt en in de namiddag moesten we het raam dichthouden ivm kookluchten die de kamer introkken. Dichtbij de afbuiging van de keuken denk ik..

Dølen Hotel

Hotellet lå mellom Evje sentrum og elva, så beliggenheten var god. Rent og pent, men rommet var alt for lite til 2 senger, dessuten manglet det stol på rommet. Måtte se på TV fra senga. Så det bør bare være en seng på dette rommet. For øvrig var oppholdetOK.
