Lovely but somewhat over-rated

As a museum professional I think it is amazing that such an old building can be put to modern use but with respect for the old building. However our room was cramped in relation to the prize we paid for it, and it was very hot. The least the hotel could do in a building where installing AC is impossible, is to provide fans. Also there naturally were no elevators, but the hotel could have provided porters, which would also have been historically correct. Our 5 course dinner was good, but one should not come hungry to the table. Waiters were willing and friendly but inexperienced. The dress code at dinner was not followed by the other guests. Breakfast was superior though.

Vårt rom ble ikke vasket og vi fikk ikke nye håndklær. Første kveld hadde vi 3 retters meny, hovedrett var indrefilet okse (det var for mye kjøtt og lite tilbehør). Ellers var maten god, 5 retter på dag 2. Frokosten var herskapelig. Totalt sett flott hotell med hyggelig personale.

På Dalen bør du planlegge godt før du ankommer!

Historisk og fantastisk spennende hotell som er verdt et besøk. Nedtur å bli møtt i resepsjonen med at det kun er fungerende billader for ansatte. Det er ikke mulig å få servert annet enn nøtter før middag (vi ankom kl 14.30) Bord til middag var først mulig å få kl 21.00. Resepsjonisten sier at det nok hadde vært klokt av oss å bestille lunsj og middag noen dager før vi kom…. Vel, når det er sagt så ble det en sen, men super middag. Det var også hyggelig stemning i baren med pianounderholding før middag og historiefortelling etter middag (som vi ikke rakk😜) Oppdummert, skal du bo på Dalen Hotell så bør du planlegge og booke alle detaljer i god tid.

Som alltid ett herlig opphold. Dessverre synes det som om kjøkkenet har glemt første bud ved matservering. Bli mett. Mye pynt og spesial etterhvert. Om vi kommer igjen, garantert nok en gang, mat eller ei og tusen takk for denne gang 😄

Inte värt fem stjärnor

Det var ett vackert gammalt hotell men vi var besvikna efter vår vistelse. Det känns inte som att hotellet förtjänar fem stjärnor. Frukosten var väldigt basic - vi fick också skicka tillbaka en rätt då den var dåligt tillagad. Badrummet var gammalt och tråkigt. Oinspirerade produkter. Inget kaffe eller te på rummet - hotellet kan argumentera att de vill att rummen ska vara historiska - men det finns en skillnad mellan att bevara det gamla och ändå göra det trevligt och välkomnande för dyrt betalande gäster. De flesta i personalen var unga vilket gav ett oerfaret och kortvarigt intryck. Hade velat mötas av människor med kunskap om regionen, framförallt under historieberättelsen på kvällen (vilken utfördes av en ung svensk som tillbringat fem veckor på hotellet - hade mycket hellre hört historien från någon med ordentlig kunskap.) I övrigt var personalen vänlig. Men för att summera var vi väldigt förvånade att hotellet hade fem stjärnor.

En unik opplevelse!

Vi hadde et fantastisk opphold på hotellet. Prisen selv i høysesng var verdt den utrolig gjennomførte opplevelsen. Vi ble gledelig overraska både av foredraget om hotellets historie vi kunne delta på på kvelden, og av å bli møtt av en karaffel portvin på rommet Fantastise omgivelser og arkitektur, og moro å oppleve at alt var så gjennomført. Vi fikk virkelig følelsen av å være tilbake til hotellets storhetstid ved århundreskiftet. Frokosten var fabelaktig, og personalet ultraprofesjonelle.

En total-opplevelse

Det var total-opplevelsen! Tenke seg å få opplevelsen å tilbringe et lite døgn i en nasjonalromantisk arkitektonisk perle som dette hotell! Alt var perfekt. Dertil forkjælt av et varmt personale som ektefølt ønskede alt godt for sine gjester. Selv om det er vinter var det godt og varmt. Koselige peise. Behagelig pianomusikk i stuene og matsalen. Etter middagen var det til og med levende pianomusikk, som var riktig god! Et flott glassmaleri i salongens tak. Hvor man end så, så fastnede blikket. Alt var en skjønnhetsåpenbaring! Middagen i matsalen var utsøkt. Med erfaring fra mer enn tue besøk i Frankrike kan vi si at denne middag var blant det ypperste! Matsalen var utsmykket med overordentlig gode nasjonalromantiske verker. Ingen tvil, vi kommer igjen.
