Hotel Rival

My wife and I stayed here for the last 4 days of our 6 week European holiday. We wanted somewhere quietly located with a bit of luxury to wind down from our trip.nnFrom the moment we checked in, we were greeted by very welcoming staff who helped us out with local attractions and recommendations.nnI had emailed the staff in advance as it was our 7th Wedding Anniversary and to my surprise they gave us chilled wine in our room on arrival which was a beautiful touch.nnWe were upgraded to the Deluxe Balcony room which I HIGHLY rate and would suggest you do this yourself. It was well priced for what you get.nnSpacious room with lots of hanging space, lovely little balcony overlooking the garden/park.nnThe bed was the most comfortable we slept in during this holiday of about 10 other similar hotels and the bathroom was spacious with a bath and large shower area.nBreakfast was buffet AND al acarte food which was so good. The fresh croissants and Swedish French toast got me started each day.nnThis is exactly what we needed to wind down at the end of our trip and I can’t thank the staff enough for their hospitality. Swedish people really are amazing.nnThank you - from Australia.

Hotel Rival is a beautiful building, and all the spaces are comfortable, attractive and welcoming, from the front desk to the room to the restaurant and bar. The bed was soft, the shower hot and strong. The coffee station was always stocked and the included breakfast set me up for a great day. The hotel is conveniently located near the Metro, and near many restaurants and sights. I was able to walk the neighborhood as well. Overall I enjoyed my stay immensely and will use Hotel Rival if I am in Stockholm again in the future. Highly recommended!

An absolutely fantastic stay. The breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. Rooms were clean and comfy. Standard room was small but totally fine for 2 people. Hotel was fantastically located and so easy to get around the city from. Great restaurants and bars in the area also. Staff were all so friendly and helpful and kind. I hope to stay here again one day!

We had an amazing time at the Hotel Rival. Great location we always had fun walking the neighborhood and had easy access to all of Stockholm.nnThe service at Rival was impeccable, friendly and helpful at all times. The room itself was immaculately kept, amenities a plenty. Very spacious, could stretch out and unpack things well and the bathtub was a rare sight.nAlso the evening turndown service was a treat with sparkling water delivered every evening.

Loved Hotel Rival! Kind & helpful & welcoming at front desk, great room amenities including excellent pillows & heated bathroom floor, wonderful breakfast & perfect location - alongside small park, in a fun neighborhood with cafes & steps from Mariatorget subway station. Loved having a balcony over the park, highly recommend higher floor balcony room.
