Dombås Motell — Hotel in Dovre

Honestly, I can't really come up with a good reason to stay here, other than it is the cheapest place in town. The hotel is plain and simply old, worn out and tired looking. You are about 1.5 kms from town and about 2kms from the train station. It fronts the main highway through town, so road noise is an issue. The rooms here are very basic with a minimum of furniture. The mattresses are thin, about 10cms thick on a bed that is maybe 75cms wide. There is a small kitchen area to self-cater, but it looks like it's been there from the 1960's. Still, there is a refrigerator and stove, but no microwave. The bathroom is OK, but as worn out as the rest of the the room. The hot water takes an eternity to get to the faucets. There is no wi-fi available. Payment is cash only. The one and only redeeming part of staying here is that the hotel manager also conducts musk ox tours in the nearby Dovrefjell National Park. For that he is very good, and honestly, I would tell you to stay elsewhere, but contact the manager if you want a skilled and experienced guide to take you into the mountains.||||Pros: musk ox tour, room price||||Cons: overall...

We were assigned a room in a block seemingly far away from the address that TripAdvisor reports for the motel: the block was adjacent to the Dombås Hotell (which is still a separate building), and was easily reachable from the main Dombås square just by crossing the E6.||||For being a motel, the room was quite comfortable, clean, and (almost with our surprise) very quiet. The staff was also kind and helpful. On the day of our arrival we experimented the dinner buffet, and must admit that we really enjoyed the variety and abundance of food.||We cannot express an opinion on the quality/cost ratio because we had our stay payed by someone else.||||Overall, it was a very good motel, at least for our one-night stay. And it should be considered that very interesting tours to sight the famous musk ox (which unfortunately we missed because the guide was ill the day we tried to join) start from the nearby square on a usually...

We stayed there for one night and as there's very little in the town of dombas, we went for this place. |There was nobody in reception when we got there but a list of guests names on the door and their room number. The room was clean and comfortable although we had to make up our extra bed we had required. It's equipped with a kitchenette and has a private seating area at the front. Towels were supplied but there was no toiletries and the next morning, the water was cold. |Also as the owner is also a guide, he leaves early so you need to catch him before 8:15 to pay for your room (cash only).|The next morning, we were ready to leave quite late and didn't really appreciate having the cleaning stuff and bucket of water right outside our door. |Wouldn't stay there again, the guy wasn't very...
