Grand Hotell Sauda

Guests describe the staff as very pleasant, helpful, and friendly, showing great goodwill even when booking issues arise. One visitor noted that due to the pandemic, the hotel operated on a self-service basis, with keys simply left at the front desk. It is also mentioned that the manager may personally give a tour of the building and discuss future development plans for the property.

Reviews regarding breakfast are mixed. Many guests praise it for its variety, flavor, hot dishes, fresh fruit, vegetables, and good coffee. However, there are also negative experiences: one guest complained about a complete lack of breakfast, while another remarked that having only a kettle in the room was below hostel standards.

The rooms are described as simple, clean, and cozy, with quality bed linen and comfortable beds. The rooms are equipped with a kettle and a refrigerator, but there are no televisions. Some guests noted that the furniture and decor appear basic, and the exterior of the building might look somewhat dreary, but everything inside is in good order.

There is no elevator in the hotel. Guests advise that climbing the steep stairs to the upper floors can be difficult for guests with reduced mobility or those carrying heavy luggage.

The hotel is described as a place "with soul" and a unique atmosphere. In the basement, there is the Grand Manilla bar, which guests recommend visiting. The soundproofing in the building is good: one guest noted that they slept peacefully despite 80 people being present in the bar.
