My stay at the Grand Hornan was quite an experience! The setting along the river is enchanting, and I loved the charming public areas, especially the breakfast room with classical music playing softly. However, my room was a bit on the smaller side and lacked a fridge, which made things a bit inconvenient. The slow elevator was also a minor annoyance, but not enough to ruin my visit.
Rooms

The room I had was small and overlooked a courtyard, making it feel quite cramped. It definitely lacked a refrigerator, which would have been nice to have. However, my friend's room was more spacious and had a beautiful view of the river, so I think that could vary greatly.

I had a memorable stay at this elegant hotel in Uppsala, enjoying the charming historic architecture and the lovely setting by the river. While the room was on the smaller side, it provided a comfortable backdrop for my visit. The breakfast offerings were delightful, with many healthy options. However, I did encounter some noise during my stay, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, it’s a pleasant spot with character, just be mindful of room selection regarding size and views.
