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 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.

A real special treat. Remarkable breakfast. Amazing pillows
mary ann, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is located in a convenient location with close proximity to restaurants and cafes! The bed and pillows were very comfy and the reception staff was very friendly! The room size was small and the bathroom was really tiny and the lighting in the bathroom and room were not enough. Also there’s no master switch so you need to switch off lamps etc individually which was inconvenient.
Chandrani, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
