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.

Convenient Vintage Hotel Resort
Large, sprawling, quirky hotel. Lots of interesting old photos, decor items throughout the many common areas - fun to explore. Small but adequate room, comfortable beds, everything we needed. Quiet at this time of year, but still plenty of guests. Really enjoyed the stay.

The staff is very nice and really helpful! They did everything they could to make it a nice stay.
And the hotel itself lies next to the ski area. The skipass and ski rent can be done also in the hotel.
But it is a very old hotel and the rooms are not the best for the category this hotel shows. Very old bathrooms. The spa is definitely not a spa. Very small indoor whirlpool for maybe max 2-3 people. And the outdoor whirlpool (which could be a highlight) was not working and also too cold.
The rooms are not well isolated and on the saturday the bass from the apres ski could be felt through every inch in the room.
We recommend it for doing a ski trip with apres ski, but not as advertised as a spa hotel.

Lots of Heritage, tired bathrooms but comfortable
Convenient location to Geilo station. The hotel would be great in the snow season.
Unfortunately the bathrooms are starting to show their age.
The overall atmosphere of the hotel is quite nice and has a lot of heritage. Comfortable stay.

A fantastic hotel apart from the check-in. The receptionist was so rude that I didn’t dare ask for another room, even though I couldn’t reach it with my wheelchair.”

Charming old hotel
We got a spacious family room in the first floor with natural light and views of the mountain across the valley. Unfortunately, it was not sound proof and one could hear music from the hotel bar until around midnight. Good breakfast w several options. We enjoyed the proximity to the slopes, the indoor pool and the bowling alley. Dinner at the hotel was good, specially the service.

Very cozy old hotel withcharm and atmosphere
Very cozy old hotel with lots of charm and atmosphere. It might be a bit worn, but that is part of the charm and to be prioritzed instead of new ordinary hotels. Free parkering and wonderful view over the mountains and skiing area. We had dinner in the sports bar - nothing fancy, but dining can be done in the restaurant also. Very nice staff and very nice breakfast. We will come back if we need to stay in Geilo again.

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.

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.

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
