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.

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.

Hotellet er aldeles nydelig. Fantastisk arkitektur. Deilige senger. Rent og pent. Nydelig mat. Deilig vin. Litt skuffende service. Bærer preg av at deler av personalet er uerfarent og langt fra trent i det servicenivået man bør levere på et hotell i den klassen og med de prisene.

Et makeløst opphold på Dalen Hotell. Artig opplevelse. Siden det var dresskode til middagen, valgte vi å finne på noe annet, men frokosten var alle tiders. Ikke minst var det helt supert å få fortellingen om hotellet fortalt i korte trekk i baren på kvelden.

Hyggelig besøk på historisk hotell. Rent og pent, god atmosfære og nydelig frokost! Vi koste oss i Dalen, og gikk blant annet opp til Rui. Turen er bratt, men absolutt verdt slitet. Servicen var stort sett veldig god. Eneste jeg kan trekke litt ned på er resepsjonisten på hotellet som ikke likte jobben sin. Det er greit, men ikke la gjestene merke det.

Resa till förra sekelskiftet

På Dalen förflyttas du till förra sekelskiftet. Pianist i salongen ersätter tv på rummet. Restaurangen har höga ambitioner men servicen hänger inte med och ger ett rörigt intryck. I denna del når inte Dalen lyxhotellkänsla och den nivå man förväntar sig. Rummen och miljön, både ute och inne, svarar dock med råge på högt ställda förväntningar. Vill du göra en tidsresa är Dalen ett bra alternativ.
