Södermalm Luxury Vacations

The hotel was typical of the high standards I've come to expect from Hilton. The room/bed were extremely comfortable and the location, within a short walking distance of Gamla Stan and the ferry port, cannot be better. When I return to Stockholm, I will definitely stay here again.

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

We were a little disappointed with this stay. We booked on the basis the hotel had a pool, but on arrival found there was an extra charge for use. Our room was very small. Only one side of the bed was accessible. House keeping staff and catering staff were friendly, reception staff were cold. Breakfast, which was included, was fantastic.

Such a great experience from start to finish! We stayed over a weekend Thursday till Sunday so we experienced the bustling weekend crowd in the wine bar and restaurant. Had so much fun. Staff is so lovely. Rooms are small but clean and cozy. Excellent area for eating and drinking. Quick walk to bus or subway if leaving the neighborhood. Uber very easy to take if needed, use Uber XL for groups up to 6, easy peasy! Love this hotel for the gorgeous breakfast spread, beautiful design, amazing gardens, fantastic staff, and cozy beds. 10/10 would recommend. Hope to be back!

Great location and staff were very helpful. Room was basic but had what we needed as were only really slept there. Breakfast was great.
