Luxury survival at the Rival!
We had a late evening flight from Dublin to Stockholm, therefore we were not checking in until after 1am. We were a bit anxious about how easy it would be to check in at that time. The night reception person was called Paul and could not have been more helpful. He gave us some great tips of advice and we went to our room. The room was a great size and we loved the decor- a concert picture of ABBA was above the bed, we knew were in a safe place. We nipped out to a nearby bar for a nightcap and went to bed around 3am. Breakfast the next morning was a brilliant affair. A range of breads, meats, fruit and cheeses, along with tea, coffee, juices and traditional cooked breakfast items and cakes meant that we ate very well. My husband is vegan and there was a specialty menu that served avocado toast, along with the fresh tomatoes, he was most content. We stayed for 3 nights and have to say that it was a wonderful experience. We shall certainly return. Stockholm and Rival hotel were a blast!

Really nice place with nice, clean rooms, and a beautiful bar and breakfast. It’s in the perfect area for walking around the city and close to transit. Just be aware the rooms are not that quiet. There was a live band playing under my room and it was super loud until about 10pm, I also woke up early to the sound of someone violently puking in a room nearby and a crying baby both mornings. My room was on the second floor with the window facing across a rooftop directly onto other apartments. Since the curtains are black out curtains, This made it impossible to get any natural light in the room without exposing my entire room. Would be nice to have some white curtains or privacy shades. Otherwise if you don’t need a super private, quiet room, it’s really amazing for the price and location. The bed and bathroom were really luxurious, super nice linens and beautiful smelling products.

The service is both friendly and helpful. The only comparison would be four seasons but that is more formal. The restaurants are way above hotel average while being reasonable cost. Laundry is reasonably priced and efficient.

The atmosphere was wonderful, this must be the coolest hotel in Stockholm. Also happens to be in a very convenient location for walking to exciting places and is also close to the subway stops.
