Vackert hotell med bra läge
Så vackert hotell, urtrevlig personal och fräsch och god frukost. Ha två bagageställ på rummet. Ofta så är man ju två personer med varsin väska i dubbelrummen.
Den fantastiskt fina historiska byggnaden med alla dess spännande välgjorda utsmyckningar, atmosfären, frukostbuffen och givetvis personalen!

Trevlig personal, fin arkitektur, sköna sängar och god frukost! Allt man önskar av en hotellvistelse :D stort plus att det finns minikyl i rummen!!!
Trevlig personal och god frukost Sängen var inte bra, men vi fick kompensation.
Elite Knaust är ett mycket trevligt hotell med bästa läget i Sundsvall. Superfint hotell med gamla anor. Jättefina rum, jättefin frukostmatsal med bästa frukostbuffén. Jag som är lite petig med kuddar önskar alltid lite hårdare kudde. Jag vet att man kan säga till i lobbyn att man önskar en annan kudde. Gjorde det en gång på Elite Malmö, men utbudet var litet. Oftast glömmer jag bort det och när jag går och lägger mig är det försent.
Trevlig personal i receptionen! Öppningsbara fönster! Bra frukost!
Service og nydelige rom. Samt et utrolig flott oppusset hotell, bevart i gammel stil. Alt var topp.
Det historiska vingslaget, juniorsviten 428 Byta den trasiga rullgardinen samt att tvätta av fönsterbågarna (428)
Mycket fin miljö Ac på rummet
Personalen var trevlig och hjälpsam. Men: finns ingen klimatkontroll på rummen förutom en undermålig bordsfläkt. På ett fyrstjärnigt hotell. Gick inte heller att mörklägga rummet, under den ljusa svenska sommaren. Vi sov knappt alls första natten. Finns heller inte möjlighet att streama något på TVn, vilket hade varit trevligt och något som finns på alla Airbnbs idag och även mycket mer budgethotell utomlands. Fanns heller ingen möjlighet att kontakta receptionen från rummet då hotellet valt att ta bort rumstelefonerna. Vet inte hur man ska beställa room service exakt, det framgår inte. Kanske får man skicka ett brev? Också otroligt ofräsch heltäckningsmatta i rummet, en juniorsvit. Jag har bott på andra Elitehotell två gånger tidigare i år men nu är jag avskräckt.
Atmosfären Intet, alt var fantastisk
Otroligt charmigt hotell. Jag vet att det är gammalt hotell men AC som fungerar bättre hade varit guld värt.
Supert rom Ingenting
Allt! Service, bemötande, frukost, rum, läge Inget
Bemötandet, viljan att göra sitt bästa. Inte nått.. ..
Rummet och frukost Haft AC på rummet!
Tjejerna sim jobbade i receptionen Såå slitet hotell! Slitna å sunkiga rum, skramlig frukost!! Kommer inte att bo där igen!
Trevligt,mysigt och välkomnande Nej
Priset Frukosten var bedrövlig, funkade inte att hantera fullbokat hotell och samtidigt fylla på och hålla buffén fräsch. Rummet kändes bedagat.
Läget, byggnaden, atmosfären, frukosten och personalen. Installera luftkonditionering på rummen.
Väldigt vackert hotell med trevliga utrymmen både för rekreation och frukost/mat. Trevlig personal med bra bemötande. Vi blev mycket nöjda med rummet och att det fanns både kylskåp och säkerhetsskåp som fungerade bra. Ingenting den här gången. Jag brukar ha åsikter runt logistiken i frukostmatsalen, men tycker att ni ordnat det bra utifrån tillgängligt utrymme.
Vackert, fint bekvämt. Bra service! Frukosten var stökig. Personalen jobbade jättebra. Svårt att hitta sittplats. Fattades mat hela tiden.

Den trevliga personalen och vårt rum. Att dem tar emot hundar. Kändes lite konstigt att be om tid till frukosten när ingen stod där och checkade av. Men jag förstår att man vi ha en ca tid när hotellet är fullbelagt.
Atmosfären på hur det var förr - och faktiskt gäller idag. Inga fyrkantiga klossar här! Bra och billig parkering. Lite trixigt att hitta, kanske
Frukosten i spegelsalen.
Trevligt hotell, ett bra rum. Var på hotellet bara en natt, har inget att klaga på.

Ett fint städat rum och trevligt bemötande av personalen. Trevligt att kunna dricka kaffe och te i väntan på rummet. Tillgång till bastu. Det enda som var dåligt var den lilla vattenkokaren som inte var så fräsch.
frukost Jag upplever att det ät förmörkt i frukost rummet o ommoblering som ni har gjort är dålig . Som det såg ut för för 2 år sedan var fantastik , fylld med ljus , placering på frukost var snyggare än nu
Jättefint/ bra kuddar/ fina människor i receptionen Otroligt bullrig frukostsal
Terrible bed, you ned to have separate matresses.
Trevlig personal, rent och fint, svala rum, god frukost. Perfekt hotell!
Den klassiska miljön och det centrala läget Den förändrade frukosten fungerar inte bra rent logistiskt. Ihopträngt och svåröverskådligt. Dessutom störande musik som man gott kan vara utan.
Trevlig personal ! Ingen nämnd ingen glömd.Verkligen fint att öppna frukosten tidigare för oss när vi skulle iväg tidigt .Och frukosten var toppen saknades inget!
Jättegod frukost och trevlig personal Finns inget negativt, allt var toppen!
Service frukost sängen kudden Något lite att äta
Allt! Inget
Bra bemötande
Läget --
Som altid god service og rent. Der var lidt koldt på rummet, frøs lidt om natten
Miljön, mottagandet, servicen i frukostmatsalen, frukostbuffén…
Fastigheten och dess historia/arkitektur och mycket centrala läge + receptionens mycket goda mottagande och service!
Centralt
Väldigt fint hotell, ett extra plus är ju den magnifika trappan! Mycket trevlig personal och rent o snyggt på rummet Vet faktiskt inte, allt var bra
Alltid bra och trevliga personal med bra rum och sängar samt läget
Vi kunde gå direkt till vårt rum. Ikoniska arkitektur.
Helhetsintrycket Saknar kaffemaskinen på frukosten
Selve bygningen, arkitekturen. Selve sengen var helt nedslidt. Madrassen bulede nedad i midten, så vi hele tiden faldt ind mod midten. Vi ankom til morgenmad 09:05. Der var ingen franskbrød eller rugbrød (white bread, rye bread). 15 minutter senere kom 20 små mørke boller.
Fin hotell bra rum å bra kuddar å trevligt bemötande å god drink i baren Allt va bra
Lugn, skön och god stämning. Fina rum.
Miljön o personal, mycket bra frukost Fina rum
Personalen och servicen Allt perfekt

History of the hotel
Hotel Knaust was built in 1891 and is one of Sweden's most famous hotels. Its stunning white marble staircase in the entrance is renowned. Many stories exist about wild parties, distinguished guests, and even a horse on the staircase from the turn of the century when Sundsvall's Timber Merchants lived in their glory days.
After the hotel closed in 1978, Elite Hotel Knaust reopened in autumn 2002, combining modern design and art with the old architecture in a tasteful blend.
