Härlig atmosfär Morgonrockar
Fin miljö Något slitet på rummet, avskavd färg på väggen. Ingen möjlighet att streama via telefonen till tv:n. Undermåligt gym.
Trevligt bemötande, god frukost och ett bra boende Inget
Alltid trevligt att bo på ett sådant Hotell i värdsklas
Mysigt hotell Spa
Rummen och matsalen Ingenting

Anrika milön Allt var jätte bra
Fint rum och nya puben var bra
Trevlig personal och fantastiskt vackert hotell! Väljer absolut detta hotell igen vid nästa besök i Sundsvall ⭐️ Det var slut på body shower i duschen, så fick tvåla in mig med schampo.
Allt tänkbart Nada
Trevlig personal och vacker miljö. Bäst var att vår hund fick vara med oss hela tiden!

I had an amazing stay at Elite Hotel Knaust in Sundsvall! The hotel is stunning, with a beautiful historic charm and elegant interiors. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to help. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sundsvall. It was a perfect stay from start to finish! Nothing
God service, trevlig personal fräscha rum och en otrolig frukost Finns faktiskt inget att tillägga
Sköna sängar, fantastisk frukost, vacker inredning/omgivning. Mera kaffe på rumnet
Rent, snyggt i gammal miljö med modernt snitt. Vänlig personal och sköna sängar, täcke och kudde.
Historie vingarna och den trevliga personalen. Mattan i den förövrigt fantastiska trappan
Att det var badkar på rummet och den goda, fräscha frukosten. Rent och snyggt. Trevlig personal
Härligt mysigt rum Allt bra. Nja dåligt våffeljärn om jag ska skriva något
Frukosten Egen parkering
Centralt läge och genomgång till Bishops Arms. Bemötandet av personalen mycket trevligt Det var något för svalt på rummet
Bra rum med skona sängar. Trevlig personal. Mycket bra frukost. Läget! -
Fint hotell och trevlig personal
Centralt Bättre frukost, den var usel
Personalens bemötande som var outstanding💫 Med särskild hälsning till Oscar Frukosten kunde vara mer grön och nyttig. Städningen var inte topp- särskilt badrummet. Saknade en filt på rummet och badrock.
Byggnaden och frukosten Behålla den goda servicen
Fina rum & alltid väldigt fin service från all personal! Inget
Sköna sängar, bra frukost, trevlig personal Vi hittade inget relaxrum, som vi läste att det skulle finnas
Bemötandet vid ankomst och rummet (en liten svit 220). Fruosten var otroligt stökig. Massor med människor, knappt någon plats att sitta. Personalen försökte fylla på serveringsfaten men lyckades inte särskilt bra. Jag kan tycka att ett fint hotell som Knaust skulle kunna erbjuda en Executive möjlighet för dem som är beredda att betala mer för både rummet och vistelsen, såsom är vanligt på större hotell i världen.
Detta besök får bli det sista hos er. Missnöjd med bokningen, missvisande pris som inte rättades till som utlovat. Och duschkrämen var slut i duschen. Det ända som lyfter betyget var er receptionist som jobbade lördagkväll som var serviceminded och hjälpte oss med mat trots att det var nära stängning.
Fina miljöer, bra frukost, bra läge Varmare rum och i receptionen, vårt rum var stort men inte så mysigt inrett, lite färg borta och så. Även att ha möjlughet till Netflix på TV:n
Fantastiskt hotell med fin frukost och trevlig personal Fungerar bra som det är
Fantastiskt vackert hotell och underbar frukost. Hade gärna ätit middag i spegelsalen.
Frukostbuffén Upplever att det var svårt att se var trapporna börjar och slutar när jag kom på eftermiddagen, däremot på förmiddagen var det inga problem. Kan bero på belysningen. Det fanns ingen contur pillow kudde på rummet, frågade i receptionen men det fanns ingen där heller. Dåligt.
Rent snyggt, väldigt fint hotell. Trevlig personal, god frukost. Om jag ska hitta något att klaga på så var det dåligt tryck i duschen. Inget
Inget
En helhetsupplevelse från ögat till själen. Bemötandet top notche!! Rummet så fint och mysigt!!! Frukosten fantastisk både för munnen och ögat!! Miljön Wow!!
Det är toppen!
Atmosfären, trevlig personal, bra frukost Jättekallt i hotellentrén och rummet var inte riktigt i vår inredningssmak, men ändock en jättetrevlig vistelse:-)
Vackert hotell med trappan, spegelsalen lobbyn. Mysigt, ljudisolerat, lagom stort rum. Perfekt storlek på badrum. Bra att kunna ha öppet i lobbybaren även en julaftonskväll. Trevlig personal. Trevlig Bishops arms. Kändes som en bra blandning av lyx och mysighet. Kommer gärna igen. Saknar veganska alternativ på frukosten på alla Elite jag har bott på senaste året (Gävle, Karlstad, Sundsvall). Kanske lite svalt på rummet.
close to the center and our coffee tea time in the lounge everything perfect
Läger Skulle föredragit en hårdare säng då den var mjuk och upplevdes välanvänd
Stora rum, alla fick gott om plats Inget det var bra
Den trevliga personalen och de mysiga rummen. Fantastisk att vi som hundägare får ta med den. Nästa gång hoppas vi få träffa Lasse
Frukosten och framförallt en riktigt bra äggröra.
Atmosfären och den vackra välskötta byggnaden är den största anledningen till att jag väljer att bo på Elite. Det är en vacker blandning av den gamla byggnaden och moderna inslag som ger ett mycket lyxigt och seriöst intryck. Men också att ni ser till att detaljerna sitter på plats, att glasdörrarna i entrén är putsade, att trappan är ren (kanske dags att förnya mattan dock?) och att det är mycket fint dekorerat. Att personalen är mycket professionell och välkomnande är såklart också en avgörande faktor att jag väljer Elite. Badrummet behöver snällare belysning, lysrör vid spegeln känns alldeles för mycket Scandic motell och det ger ingen avkopplande känsla. Det märks att det var ett tag sen badrummet i 316 renoverades, men det gör inte så mycket om man hade sett till att fixa detaljerna som belysning, att plattorna satt ordentligt i golvet och kanske någon mer inredningsdetalj som får bort känslan av vårdcentralsvägg (det sistnämnda tror jag kan försvinna med bättre belysning). Plus, ni måste se över ert utbud i minibaren, jag vet hur mycket bra produkter det finns på marknaden att ni ska ha odrickbara viner i kylen är för mig obegripligt. Ta ordentligt betalt, herregud folk vet ju att det är dyrt i minibarer ändå men snälla låt kvaliteten ligga högre än vad den är nu.

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.
