What makes me see one hotel as superior to another begins with how you are treated at the very start. This is one of those hotels. Those behind the reception desk actually answer your questions, offer solutions to your needs and made me feel they sincerely wanted to (and did) help. The entire staff, throughout my 3 day stay, maintained that same level of care. They advised on which taxis were 'honorable'; booked tours; even offerred to take me on a tour when a guide wasn't available. It was just unlike any hotel I have ever stayed. Oh, they have coffee at all hours - even for those unfortuate travelers who have early moring flights. Their Tavern Restaurant is fun for lunch and dinner and thier breakfast is impressive. It a great hotel on a colorful street where the locals come and sit at the park across the street. You'll be hard pressed to find such a wonderful place when you visit Stockholm!

We stayed 2 nights, had booked a deluxe double room with a balcony. But was offered an upgrade to room with a terrace (slight increase in price). Great room, the staff were helpful, friendly and attentive! Great area, highly recommend Hotel Rival. We enjoyed the breakfast. Traveled from the US, would stay here again if we visit Stockholm!

We were very pleased with our stay at Rival!! All the staff were very helpful and friendly. NIcodemus checked us in and reviewed the key areas of the city. He would often , as we were coming and going, to see if we needed help, always with a smile. The hotel was super clean and spacious. Great location. We could walk most places or take a ferry. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve had in our travels. We highly recommend Rival and would not hesitate to stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay at The Rival Hotel. This beautifully restored Art Deco hotel, owned by Benny Andersson of ABBA, perfectly blends character with modern comfort. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. A real highlight was the large windows that could actually be opened, letting in plenty of fresh air—a feature that’s surprisingly rare and much appreciated. The location in Södermalm is excellent, within easy walking distance of Slussen and the city’s main transport connections, making it a great base for exploring Stockholm. The staff were outstanding throughout our stay—warm, professional and always happy to help. A special shout-out to Michelle, who made us feel especially welcome. We loved your hospitality! The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a great selection of fresh, high-quality options. I couldn’t recommend The Rival Hotel more highly and would happily stay here again.

Fantastic greeting as soon as we walked in - definitely not one of those places where half the reception staff suddenly try to look busy when you arrive! Lovely, lovely hotel in every way and would definitely stay again. Located in a great and peaceful neighbourhood very near metro too
