We had a fabulous 2 night stopover in Dr Holms between Bergen & Oslo. The staff are a credit to the hotel especially Julia on reception who was really helpful & Karin (i think thats the spelling) who worked in the restaurant. She was so friendly & knowledgeable about places for us to see on our stopover. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we've had, there was a great choice for everyone in our party & the kitchen staff were accommodating of any requests. I was on the 2nd floor & my room was lovely, with amazing views of the mountains. We loved the quirkyness of the hotel & there was lots of nooks & crannies for us to explore. It was warm & sunny during our stay & it was great to have the balcony on the first floor to sit out on to enjoy it. The only minor disappointments were that both Jacuzzis were out of commission during our stay. Some more vegetarian options in the sports bar & diner would have been welcomed too but other than that, we wouldn't hesitate to return

Enjoyed

Enjoyed many amenities such as, swimming pool in which you can actually swim, I believe it’s between 15-20 meters long. Hot tub was not very big and wasn’t hot but wasn’t an inconvenience as both the Steam room & Sauna were great. Breakfast was good but not excellent many of the food items were not hot.

Luxury historical hotel with delicious breakfast buffet in beautiful dining room. Deluxe room with double bed and bunk beds in newly built wing was ideal. Plenty of storage for all the ski clothes, warm, quiet, with private terrace with views. Fantastic location for Slaata ski centre and lifts.

Friendly staff; good food, though buffet and sports bar selection are limited. Inadequate ski locker facilities.

Very vintage hotel, with lots of amenities and the hotel is massive!! Very unique experience

We stayed here one night on our way back from Bergen to Oslo. It is a big sprawling (in a nice way) hotel! Comforting, traditional ski lodge style feel but the room was modern and spacious with a balcony for me, my wife and 15yr old son. The bathroom was very snug though, but clean. There is a good sports bar on site. Burgers were nice. Bar games too. The pool, sauna and outdoor hot tub were v good. The only downside is it faces the main railway station and there were a few late night freight trains running through. The breakfast buffet was v good though with great choice. Overall, I’d stay again but maybe ask for a room not at the front.

The bathroom in my room had a terrible smell of sewerage. Hotel generally pretty tired. Otherwise ok as a stop off.

Very unique and intriguing building but obviously old so not everything worked well. Rooms are quite hot and no fans are available. Knob for starting shower fell off making it difficult to turn on the shower.

Lovely hotel. Really enjoyed it. Super swimming and leisure facilities.

The bed and bathroom were not clean.

Room has seen its better days — most important it is lack of amenities especially electrical outlets. But the breakfast was so nice and high quality food

The best hotel we stayed in while visiting Norway.

If you are looking for the past century charm, this is the place. An old, but so elegant hotel. One feels as if one is on a movie set, just waiting for Bogart and Bergman to show up.

Negatives - Not enough sockets in the room - only one. Cold “hot” breakfast items. Inside jacuzzi should be warmer. Overall tired. Positives - hot tub outside lovely. Quirky decor. Comfortable. Staff friendly.

Great location

Fabulous old hotel, great staff and good breakfast

Lovely building. Convenient for the station. Large room with tiny bathroom.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Dr Holmes Hotel. This is an older hotel with interesting styles of decor. There are also many historic paintings and artifacts. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Our dinner was excellent and we would certainly return.

Refurbished restaurant and lounge area. Can’t beat the location 50m from train station and 50m for ski school and slopes . Very quiet resort . Hotel restaurant very limited menu .
