호텔 라이벌

Excellent location in Sodermalm. Room is somewhat tired. But overall a good albeit expensive hotel. Agoda says the parking is free. It is not, as we discovered the secure parking is 695SEK per night. Staff was great and helpful. Breakfast is good.

Hotel Rival is situated in a quiet neighborhood, about a 15-minute walk from Gamla Stan. The front desk staff were very helpful, and the breakfast and housekeeping team can be more cheerful and attentive. The room was spacious, though the bed could have been fresher, and the bathroom floor would benefit from a deeper clean. For those seeking a peaceful area not far from the old town, this property is a good option.

Excellent

It is everything we wanted and more. Nice, great design, clean and perfect location.

The hotel is on a narrow lane only used by delivery and taxis. Across the lane is a jewel of a park with mature trees, fresh plantings and a sculpture fountain. We arrived early, not expecting our room to be ready. Instead, we opted to pay a little more for a larger room on a higher floor with a view of the park. The room was ready for us to use. The room was newly refurbished with both bathtub and large shower. The bed was a little firmer than we had experienced in other Nordic hotels which we liked. My only comment is that the designer didn't lay out the lighting well and getting light onto your face in the bathroom was difficult. The staff is absolutely first class: friendly, prompt, informative, generous with their time. Breakfast is delicious with a la carte offerings as well as full buffet. The ambiance is quiet and not crowded. There is a view of the park and a dining terrace. Also in the hotel is a bar and adjacent restaurant. We were delighted to stay three nights while enjoying the city using public transportation which is available a few steps away. My thanks to the staff.
