Hotel Rival

A rare top-tier hotel with CHARACTER, instead of generic, b-school, “5-star” banality. Located in a scenic, quiet, yet interesting neighborhood, the hotel is close to the metro and to locations in the old town. The rooms are among the most comfortable I’ve stayed in, and have a great view onto a charming park. The breakfast is without rival. The staff is urbane, helpful, and genuinely kind.

Had a deluxe room overlooking the park. Nice view. Big windows with balcony. Room and bathroom were spacious. Great neighborhood with lots of areas to explore on foot. Easy access to train station and to old town. Tasty breakfast.

The best hotel in Stockholm ♥️

There's a lot to like about this hotel - great location, excellent breakfast, good beds, nice reception & concierge staff & the residents tea/coffee station is a very good idea. We were in a large room with a view onto the inner courtyard - high enough to get a view. I think lower rooms that are court yard facing may not have a view. However, I wish we could have some temperature control in the room - it was just a little too cold for us most of the stay & the bathroom was really cold.

We had a very nice stay. Except for room being a bit small, everything was quite nice. Especially loved the shower and breakfast was great.

Staff seemed very happy to see you and went out of their way to be helpful. Great location.

Wonderful staff, very knowledgeable efficient and helpful. Fantastic breakfast.

We had a very comfortable room with large closets and bath, a coffee station available 24 hours on every floor, and a very nice breakfast buffet included with the room price. Plus, such a lovely location on a park in the hip area, Sodermalm. The food at the restaurant for dinner was excellent, too.

Lovely location next to a park. Vibrant neighborhood w many restaurants within walking distance & with outdoor seating. Room was quiet. Decor of room a bit boring.
