I feel quite fortunate to have booked our stay at Hotel Rival. The room was comfortable and very clean. The view of the park across the street was very nice. A short and pleasant walk to Old Town. The staff were amazing. Friendly and helpful. A Relaxing environment. We enjoyed the breakfast and coffee bar on the 4th floor. Finally , a shout out to Joel , thank you for the warm welcome to the hotel, city and country.

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!

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.

Great stay at Hotel Rival. Nice room, excellent staff, delicious, hearty breakfast that will fuel you for most of the day, and a happening bar/lobby to come back to at the end of the day. Also across from a lovely park, 1 block from metro station, and surrounded by great restaurant options.

Me and my bf stayed for one night and the location was so perfect to walk to Old Town in Stockholms, and around the property was quiet at night that I heard zero noise when I slept. The staff (I think her name was Cecilia or something) was so kind and friendly. The room was very clean, and bedding was so comfortable. I definitely would like to stay again.
