I stayed at Grand Hotell Hörnan for two nights recently during my first ever visit to Uppsala and was thoroughly charmed. Staying there feels a little like traveling four or five decades back in time, and I mean that in a good way. It is not just because of the lovely Art Nouveau interiors that have been carefully preserved through recent renovations, but also because of certain nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of a time when traveling was exiting and a bit glamorous. It is not about over-the-top luxury, but loads of character and little thoughtful details throughout the hotel, like the weather forecast posted in the elevator and even the little piece of chocolate by the bed. How many hotels still bother with those? The rooms are beautiful and clean, the beds very comfortable, and the view, at least from my room, was lovely. The lobby staff is friendly and very helpful, and next to the lobby there is a relaxed and cosy bar for a quick bite or something to drink. The breakfast buffet is excellent and plentiful. Last but not least, the location next to the Fyris river a few blocks from the Central Station is unbeatable. For the price, this hotel is a steal. Highly recommended.

I had the good fortune to stay here for several weeks. The rooms very nice with a great view. I had to stay a few extra days due to illness and the staff was fantastic. I dont think i would have imagined a better stay. Certainly I will stay here again. Now, i cannot imagine being in Uppsala and not staying at the Grand Hotell Hornan.
