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.
