Great location. The staff were the stars of the place. Our room was a little small for our taste but well appointed. There are bigger rooms in the hotel.

The staff treated you like royalty. They could not be more helpful and welcoming. We paid for the best room available and were not disappointed. The balcony at sunset was lovely. Our stay was money well spent. We would go back again.

Beautiful, clean hotel with a fun vibe in a great location central to everything. The staff were excellent and very helpful at all times. We loved the 24/7 coffee bar located on the 4th floor which was so convenient and we were surprised at the excellent quality of the coffee! Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the variety of options. Would recommend this hotel and we would definitely return in the future!
Anna, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were amazing. My mom & I came in early off of a cruise and they happened to have a room ready so we were able to put our luggage in our room and freshen up a bit. They asked us if we wanted our breakfast for that morning since we were leaving the next morning before breakfast time. So much going above & beyond. Great experience and great breakfast too!!

The Hotel Rival and its staff are a delight. Really cool design property an old cinema now a hotel/theatre/bar. We had deluxe room, spacious great view. Breakfast had everything you could want buffet and cooked. There is a bistro and tavern and bar. Warm friendly place easily accessed using commuter SL train from airport to Stockholm Sodra the stop after Stockholm Central. Then a short easy walk to hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was a good size and the bathroom was nice. Breakfast is included and has a range of options. We ate at the Bistro on our first night and the food was really good. Staff are all really friendly. The hotel is easy to get to from the airport and a good base to explore the rest of Stockholm.

10/10 Exceptional

One of My Favorite Hotels Ever!

From check-in to check-out, this hotel excels. Reception staff member took extra time to make recommendations on sights and breakfast wait staff hand-wrote suggestions for dinner restaurants. Hotel itself has an eclectic vibe with red cabinets in the very comfortable rooms, colorful carpets in the halls, and plush seating in the lobby. The breakfast buffet, available 7 am to noon, was excellent and included cooked-to-order dishes like Swedish pancakes and avocado toast with egg. The location of the hotel is next to a peaceful park, steps away from a bus stop and a block from the Metro. Old Town (Gamla Stan) is easily walkable, two bus or Metro stops away. The area around the hotel has many restaurants and bars, including several on the lively Swedenborgsgatan. A few blocks away is Ivor Los Park which offers dramatic views of the city.

Our room was very comfortable and has the best ironing accessories of any place we stayed. The staff was very helpful in pointing out areas of interest. Location was close to public transport and the restaurants had a wonderful selection of food. There also was a free espresso machine with fresh fruit available. Highly recommend this hotel.
