Hotel Rival

Amazing Hotel! Great and friendly service. Reception staff very knowledgeable and service oriented. Bar staff professional. Breakfast included in the price was amazing. Great overall hotel experience. 5 Star Rating!

We had a late evening flight from Dublin to Stockholm, therefore we were not checking in until after 1am. We were a bit anxious about how easy it would be to check in at that time. The night reception person was called Paul and could not have been more helpful. He gave us some great tips of advice and we went to our room. The room was a great size and we loved the decor- a concert picture of ABBA was above the bed, we knew were in a safe place. We nipped out to a nearby bar for a nightcap and went to bed around 3am. Breakfast the next morning was a brilliant affair. A range of breads, meats, fruit and cheeses, along with tea, coffee, juices and traditional cooked breakfast items and cakes meant that we ate very well. My husband is vegan and there was a specialty menu that served avocado toast, along with the fresh tomatoes, he was most content. We stayed for 3 nights and have to say that it was a wonderful experience. We shall certainly return. Stockholm and Rival hotel were a blast!

Really nice place with nice, clean rooms, and a beautiful bar and breakfast. It’s in the perfect area for walking around the city and close to transit. Just be aware the rooms are not that quiet. There was a live band playing under my room and it was super loud until about 10pm, I also woke up early to the sound of someone violently puking in a room nearby and a crying baby both mornings. My room was on the second floor with the window facing across a rooftop directly onto other apartments. Since the curtains are black out curtains, This made it impossible to get any natural light in the room without exposing my entire room. Would be nice to have some white curtains or privacy shades. Otherwise if you don’t need a super private, quiet room, it’s really amazing for the price and location. The bed and bathroom were really luxurious, super nice linens and beautiful smelling products.

The service is both friendly and helpful. The only comparison would be four seasons but that is more formal. The restaurants are way above hotel average while being reasonable cost. Laundry is reasonably priced and efficient.

This is an excellent hotel! The rooms a spacious and unique. The breakfasts are fantastic. Excellent staff helpful and responsive in all respects. Very walkable to major points of interest. Highest recommendation!

The atmosphere was wonderful, this must be the coolest hotel in Stockholm. Also happens to be in a very convenient location for walking to exciting places and is also close to the subway stops.

The hotel is very well located. Michelle or front desk hostess was beyond excellent. Can't say enough wonderful things about her.

Really helpful staff, who were happy to take the time to recommend local things to do. Nice breakfast. Hotel clean and conveniently located.

The area around the hotel is very, very nice. Many good restaurants close by. The subway is nearby, too. And just a short hike up the hill to see amazing views of Stockholm. The only disappointment was the construction in the park in front of the hotel (which is why four stars and not five.)
