Dombas Hotel

An interesting night

I stayed one night at the Dombås Hotel while on the road. The motel and hotel are run by the same people and the reception for both is in the same place (in the food service building up on the top of the hill in back of the hotel). I wanted to stay at the motel but I think they must close down at least some of the motel buildings for the winter and ended up in the motel.

The staff are friendly and the buildings clean and the food good. The main motel building has a nice lounge with TV and books and games. It is a bit of a problem that the reception is not located in the hotel building (which 100 meters away from the motel/reception). At first, we were given a key to the wrong room and had to run up to the hotel to explain that we had walked in on a half naked man. Then the front door to the hotel building malfunctioned and we had to call someone down. We had to call up to get the code for the free internet and so on... It wouldn't be so bothersome except you are paying 'hotel' prices.

Don't be discouraged from staying here. It really is clean and nice but they really should position staff down at the hotel as well. We paid 1200 kroner for one night.
