Cool hotel

The coolest hotel in Stockholm. Great location, lots of good vibes, fab bar! Staff is very friendly.
Birgitte, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have had an excellent stay here at Hotel Rival. The room is very comfortable, and there are wonderful amenities. I especially like robes and slippers! The breakfast is also top notch with delicious options and a menu to order from. But what sets Hotel Rival apart from others is the exceptional, friendly, knowledgeable staff. People at the front desk, directed us where to go and how to get there, and let us work on our Swedish with them. The people at breakfast were so kind and warm. One woman even showed us how her grandmother served Swedish pancakes. Even the police officer doing security last weekend for a concert was friendly. This encouraged us to stay an extra night because the people here have made the hotel feel like a home away from home. Thanks for making this stay so special.

Great location. The staff were the stars of the place. Our room was a little small for our taste but well appointed. There are bigger rooms in the hotel.
Tony, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In a nutshell, the staff at the Rival is superb… friendly, helpful, efficient. The rooms are eclectic and well-appointed with super comfortable beds (and a pillow menu) and a great shower. The breakfast is also very good. Patrons may order off a small menu and/or select breakfast items from a buffet filled with an assortment of breads, cheeses, meats, yogurt, and fruit. Champagne is also available!
Kari, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff treated you like royalty. They could not be more helpful and welcoming. We paid for the best room available and were not disappointed. The balcony at sunset was lovely. Our stay was money well spent. We would go back again.
Edward, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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! Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the variety of options. Would recommend this hotel and we would definitely return in the future!
Anna, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were amazing. My mom & I came in early off of a cruise and they happened to have a room ready so we were able to put our luggage in our room and freshen up a bit. They asked us if we wanted our breakfast for that morning since we were leaving the next morning before breakfast time. So much going above & beyond. Great experience and great breakfast too!!
Marsha, 1-night trip

The Hotel Rival and its staff are a delight. Really cool design property an old cinema now a hotel/theatre/bar. We had deluxe room, spacious great view. Breakfast had everything you could want buffet and cooked. There is a bistro and tavern and bar. Warm friendly place easily accessed using commuter SL train from airport to Stockholm Sodra the stop after Stockholm Central. Then a short easy walk to hotel.
