Hotel Dolonne

We stayed there during our sons figure skating camp in the nearby ice rink. The staff and the hotell was perfect during this stay! It wasn't hard for them to adjust the breakfast time for us so that he managed to eat before his first lesson. They where really helpful with dinner and adjusting for my celiaki so that I also would eat the most delicious meals. (Sometimes we got irritated that we choose another restaurant and it wasn't as good as this one.) It was easy getting more pillows for us. Everyone was so helpful and we really loved the familiar feeling we got during our whole stay. Sure, some things needs to be fixed (it is an old building) but we've stayed at a lot worse and this place was so lovely. When were coming back we will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, atmospheric (though well maintained) old building. One of the doors inside is bullet into an impressive stone arch with the Savoie crest carved into it. It once marked the boarder between Savoy and the rest of Italy, so that gives an idea of how old the original structure is My room was comfortable and had a balcony affording a lovely view of time-honoured stone-tiled roofs and the mountains beyond . The restaurant's menu was small but the food was excellent, and the house wine a very good accompaniment to the jugged stag. Breakfast was excellent and kept me going during my drive through the tunnel and across France to Laon, north of Riems. A perfect example of professional but friendly hospitality. Highly recommended

This was the single worst hotel experience I\'ve had in years of travel. The hotel is a very old building with stone and hardwood, and there is zero sound insulation. You can hear your neighbors talking like they\'re in your room. There was no staff at the hotel in the late evening, so our first night was exceptionally loud with people going up and down the hall shouting. But it quieted down after several hours. The second night was worse as on top of the sound of people running around and shouting, someone tried to get in our room and was shouting at our door. I went to reception and no one was there and called down and no one answered. Later when I complained, the answer was basically "oh I\'m sorry". The third night was even worse as someone was yelling and trying to get into our room both at 11pm and 3am. No staff was available to help, and we contemplated calling the police but the person who tried to get into our room sounded drunk and confused but not aggressive. The next morning, it was hard to find a staff person that spoke English, but when I did the response was very rudely that if I didn\'t like their hotel I could leave, and they would not give me a refund of the nights I didn\'t stay there (I stayed 3/6 nights). We chose to leave, because we were exhausted from 3 nights of poor sleep and frankly didn\'t feel safe. Expedia also tried numerous times on our behalf to get a refund of the nights we didn\'t use, but the hotel refused them too.

We have just returned from a week at Hotel D’Olonne (or should I say Chateau D’Olonne). We were excited before arrival, and we were not disappointed. The hotel and its staff ensured a safe, welcoming and comfortable stay. Special shout out to Gloria who ran the reception like a boss. Super food in the atmospheric restaurant (think medieval banquet), and the best Aperol Spritz. Perfectly positioned to the main cable car and boot hire, and a 15 min scenic walk into the centre of town. Thank you xxx

Whilst I'm loathe to say anything bad as the owners are lovely and were very helpful to print off my insirance details for me: it is a beautiful historic building and the meal I had there was lovely and of generous proportions. Whilst the area is quaint and a mere 5 minutes from the ski lift, there are no bars, 1 pizza restaurant and one steakhouse. The bar in the hotel is a lovely cosy place where I would have wanted to while away the evenings having filled my stomach with the free buffet at Bar Roma in Courmayeur. Sadly, I could not guarantee that I would be able to get even one drink a night. The bar is not staffed, on my last night there I greeted the server collecting drinks for the restaurant, thinking she would come back to ask me what I would like. 20 minutes later there was no sign of her, I was so frustrated I went and asked the night porter if he could recommend a bar and he came down to serve me. There needs to be some way of getting service down there, even if the servers just check in every 15 to 20 minutes .or if they happen to be fetching drinks for the restaurant and someone is sitting in there with no drink, maybe ask them if they would like one. Maybe I'm not confident enough to bother them but I shouldn't be penalised for that.
