The Hotel Rival is truly a Stockholm gem. Our family of six loved this hotel and are still raving about it now that we're back home. I had great communication with the staff before our arrival about getting to the hotel from the airport, which was much appreciated. We arrived a little groggy after our eight-hour flight and the Hotel Rival staff couldn't have been kinder and more accommodating. Even though we were several hours before the official check-in, they were able to secure our three rooms, giving us a chance for a quick nap before we began touring wonderful Stockholm. The entire property is beautiful and the rooms were spacious, clean and well appointed. The breakfasts, which are included, were absolutely delicious. There's a lovely park across the street and we were able to walk to just about every place we wanted to visit. we hated to leave, but the staff also helped us secure a large taxi for our return to the airport. Can't say enough about the Hotel Rival. One of our favorite European hotels ever! Thank you
