Minibar pricing is ridiculous. Hotel parking always full.

Great location. Bar and restaurant areas are superb.

Very friendly staff, delicious breakfast with extra free-of-charge add ons, very clean hotel with comfortable beds. In general we had an amazing experience, great value-for-money!

Not exactly 'not liking' but just a suggestion that some upgrading of some bathroom elements (the 'rain shower' part of our shower didn't work) might be a plan at some point. And also the media stations - though pleasantly nostalgic with DVDs and CDs etc - could perhaps be modernised. Just a thought rather than a criticism. I loved our room.

I think one of the major highlights of our stay was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff - at reception, in the bar and the restaurant. The breakfasts were wonderful, super-healthy and delicious and really set us up for the day. We loved the complimentary tea/coffee/ice/fruit station on the 4th floor - that really added a 'homely feel'. Very welcoming and - so - relaxing. We also appreciated the gentle politeness of various notices inviting people to observe house rules - rather than the 'Guests must not...' vibe that is so common these days... at least in the UK...A small touch but it didn't go unnoticed. If I'm ever in Stockholm again - which I hope I will be - I'll definitely be back.

Friendly staff, comfy hotel and conveniently located.

Room temperature was quite warm - couldn't find the thermostat - but then again, we never asked - so only ourselves to blame 🤷‍♀️

Really easy to get to from the airport- nearest station - 'Mariatorget' literally a 5 min walk to /from hotel. Staff were incredibly friendly - knowledgeable, polite and helpful. Loved the 'Help Yourself' tea & coffee station at the end of our room corridor on the 4th floor - proper coffee machine, selection of teas, (including English Breakfast), fresh milk and biscuits. There was also an ice machine. Mini fridge in bedroom. Quirky decor, cosy bedroom - underfloor heating in bathroom so shower floor dried up in minutes. Molton Brown toiletries was the icing on the cake 👍

Difficult to find seating in the bar area.

Great bar and central location, fabulous breakfast included. Friendly staff

Stayed in March 2024

The only bar area is shared with the theatre which is part of the hotel so if there is a show on there is nowhere much to sit and have a quiet drink.

Good location - away from main island but close enough to walk. Staff were excellent, really helpful sorting out taxis and advice on transport options. We liked the decor and the feel of the hotel.

Lighting poor in the bedroom and I couldn't even work out how to switch off the side lights

Excellent Location overlooking a small Park and in the middle of town (Sodermalm). Underground 100m away and about 30mins from the airport by train and underground. Lovely Hotel with lively bars and friendy staff.

Everything was Perfect

The staff went beyond our expectations, what a great service! our luggage was lost by Air France and they followed up every day, sometimes twice a day until it was delivered, Also I forgot my watch after check out and they mailed it to me free of charge to my next Hotel. The room was comfortable and well-decorated. The breakfast buffet is great and includes items like gluten-free bread :) The location is also important to mention since we were able to walk to most of our destinations

The Hotel Rival is a very fun hotel in an excellent part of Stockholm. very close to the metro line but easy to walk into the old part of town as well, and is very close to great restaurants and nightlife. The hotel itself has great sized rooms well decorated, and even though there is a theatre connected to the hotel you couldn't hear it at all! The bar was fantastic for a late night drink, and the breakfast options were some of the best I've ever had

Breakfast - buffet and a la carte. Baked tomato. Staff were lovely: friendly and helpful.

Nothing could have gone better this time but the very first time we stayed the receptionist - a man - was clearly having a bad day. He wasn't exactly rude but he gave the feeling that Rival was not what he had expected. Receptionists provide a firs impression so how you are received by them is really important.

The breakfast was magnificent - my husband and I are breakfast connoisseurs. There was no crowding, no rush, the staff were very attentive - also to our ten year old grandson for whom this was a treat he had looked forward to since two earlier visits
