Hotel Dolomites Inn

What a great hotel!! Positioned in Penia in the Dolomites this was a lovely place to stay and the ski bus stopped right outside at regular intervals so no long walks to the 2 nearest big lifts which were just 5 mins in the bus. All the staff were fantastic and always good fun! They went out of their way to help with nothing too much trouble. Rooms were a good size with good storeage and comfortable beds. No bath in our room but good shower and nice washing facilities. Always very warm (needed window open at night!) and everything worked. Food was just amazing. Masses to chose from at breakfast and dinner (4 courses!) with different menu each day. Lovely bar staff, always ready to have a chat and a laugh with us. There were other things available (eg hot tub) which we didn’t use. We would certainly go there again!!

Food is good and plentiful. Room was generally comfortable. Reception staff were superb. However rooms on first floor above the kitchen are noisy - continual water flushing sounds. And the frequency and timing of the ski buses in the valley is poor.

Just returned from a week stay half board at this hotel & was very happy. The hotel is a little remote, but ski bus 4 stops directly outside & it’s only a 3 minute walk down hill to the mail ski bus stop for the larger busses. The hotel is located only a few minutes drive from the ALBA lift, so no long drive to the slopes, I stayed in a single room, and although snug it served its purpose, bed was made every day, clean towels & a thermostat on the wall controlled the radiator (big enough to dry jacket & gloves & the bathroom also had a heated towel rad, there was a double wardrobe & draws = plenty of storage aswell as bedside cabinet. You are allocated a seat in the restaurant on arrival that will have your room number on it for the duration of your stay, at breakfast your supplied with a form to fill out to select that evening’s meals (similar to if you have ever stayed in hospital) the food was a very high standard, breakfast is a self service buffet with lots of different cereals, pastries & cured meats available (scrambled eggs is the only Hot option) the Evening meal has a choice of 4 started & main options to pick from. There is a bar area for socialising & a 400ml Larger cost €6, often free crisps/snacks were given with your drinks. There is not much of an Apres scene locally so be aware if this is your thing, this location will not suit. I got the bus to Pera 1 evening to meet with friends (had some nice restaurants & bars) but it was a €40 taxi return that I had to wait an hour for. The staff & friendly & helpful There is a wellness Centre in the basement, Jacuzzi steam bath, sauna and relaxation beds, this was included in my room rate, there is a second basement where the ski storage drying room is with heated boot racks. if you’re after a lively bustling hotel in a good apres area, this is not for you, if you’re after comfort good food in a warm comfy room with views to die for from your balcony close to the slopes you can’t go wrong.

My sister and I went on holiday here in February of 2024, booking through Neilson. We were not disappointed. We flew into Insbruk and were picked up by our lovely NME rep Emily. We then drove to the Dolomites inn, the skiing is unbelievable, the staff are absolutely lovely, the spa was great. My sister and I both have food intolerances and were catered for every single day, with there always being delicious options (not just fruit and salad). An absolutely fantastic holiday and look forward to returning there.
