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.
