Hotel Dolonne

Just back from a one week stay at this quirky 15th century hotel. It's most definitely like stepping back in time.The lovely young lady on reception always greeted us with a pleasant smile and was very helpful. Breakfast was a good selection of cold meats, croissants, cereals and boiled eggs, this set us up for a good morning skiing. A short walk along the cobbled street to The Dolonne ski lift , perfect location for us. Pre dinner drinks at the hotel bar down stone steps and various arches we were served by whoever was around to serve you which again was quite quirky , we certainly kept the lovely staff busy. Evening meals were delicious and plentiful, compliments to the Chef. Liked the touch that any wine not finished was kept and put back at your table the following evening . The bedroom was immaculately clean and warm. The double bed was made up of 2 single mattresses pushed together, with bedsheets and woollen blankets all very comfortable. Housekeeping every day. The whole team was exceptional, reception, waiters and waitresses, housekeeping, night manager and not forgetting Alba . the owners should be very proud of all of their staff. The hotel is dated but that's part of its character. Would definitely go back.

Worst experience ever in Alps. Completely outdated hotel in charming building. We had view through small window to neighbouring wall and chimney through small and horribly squeaky window. If you like comfortable bed - forget about it. Two matresses in double bed, hard as stone. Pillows - strange hard and narrow creations. Hotel could not provide with soft ones, so I bought a pillow! There is no duvet, just strange thin wool plaids. Hotel representative said - we do not use duvets (!). Only one electric socket, nearly working, next to the bed. You either charge phone or have light. Not both. You cannot lock WC door. No coffee, tea or even kettle. Burnt hair dryer. Beware your head when taking stairs - dangerously low ceilings not marked. So it is a disrespectful disaster - STAY AWAY!
