Quality Hotel Sogndal

Quality Hotel Sogndal

10/10 Excellent
"I missed a washcloth. Breakfast was nice. If you want to charge for parking you need to add whole lot of more instructions!!! 1) to charge your guests for parking, in a location like Songdal, is rude! 2) 2 car charging stations for such a large hotel is short minded and poor service. This is not the hotel I will use again or recommend."

"The room was tiny with no room on either side of the bed. It worked well for a one-night stay for the two of us. Oscar provided an extension cord for a CPAP machine. The breakfast was wonderful and we enjoyed talking with the other guests about the area. We even discovered that we had a mutual connection through ancestral farms in Skjåk. Her ancestors were Bøye and mine are listed as Bøje, which appear to be variations of the same name."
