The staff were exceptional. Rikard in part we t out of his way to be helpful with suggestions for dinner, provide cable to watch Junior hockey, and just be pleasant. Breakfast staff were excellent.
CanadaThe breakfast buffet was wonderful and the to order breakfasts were amazing.
United States of AmericaAs stated, the entire stay exceeded our expectation. The atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing and very hospitable. The surrounding area was safe. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.
AustraliaGreat breakfast. The bar and restaurant are hot spots. Walking distance from Old Town. Nice rooms and value.
United States of AmericaVery good quality breakfast, very professional staff, good amenities, coffee and biscuits at every floor, plus the location is very good in front of a park/square. Small bed for the baby was provided. The hotel includes a cocktail bar and a theatre. Both seem to be appreciated by the locals.
FranceGreat breakfast buffet with lots of options which included ordering specially prepared items. Excellent location, in easy walking distance to the old town, in a nice area with multiple dining options. Also very short walk to the cliffs with great views.
United States of AmericaEverything is perfect at Hotel Rival. The location, service, room, breakfast, quiet location with great restaurants and shopping. Sean and the rest of the staff were lovely. I’m a picky NY traveler and I was very happy with Hotel Rival.
United States of AmericaLoved the poached egg with spinach on toast, loved mixed fruit, etc Had dinner also and wonderful. Staff at desk very friendly and helpful.
United States of AmericaGreat vibe, each room felt unique and had a fun selection of CD's and DVDs (including ABBA), beds were amazingly comfortable (loved the pillow menu), amazing complementary breakfast. The adjoining cafe is a fun, bustling spot for locals that serves top-notch food and drinks. The bar/lounge in the adjoining theater is a very unique and the perfect place to hang out after a night out. Neighborhood was hip, walkable, yet calm enough that noise and safety were not an issue.
United States of AmericaThe room was spacious with modern decor, but the best part was the great balcony overlooking the park. The bed was very comfortable and they even provided a pillow menu from which you can order different pillow or blanket types (foam, down, firm, soft, etc) at no additional charge to customize your sleep experience. Huge bathroom with a soaking tub and shower. The lobby and restaurant decor was super stylish in a sumptuous art deco way and they have crazy good cocktails. The hotel has one of the best locations, the Sodermalm neighborhood is great for parks, views, shopping, and restaurants and close enough to walk (15 minutes) or take a scooter/bike to old town, plus there is great organic supermarket, Paradiset, nearby for any snacks.
