Reviews of Hotel Rival
Gabriela from Czech Republic (10/10)
wonderfull pillow offer, very tasty breakfast
Tony from United Kingdom (10/10)
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Rival in Stockholm for one night, and I can confidently say it was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had! From the moment we arrived, the front of house staff, Cecille and Svedje, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of fantastic. Their warm welcome and attentive service made us feel right at home.
The hotel itself is a lovely, cozy retreat in a fantastic location, making it easy to explore all that Stockholm has to offer. Our room was beautifully appointed with crisp, fresh bedding that provided the perfect sanctuary after a day of sightseeing. It truly felt like a little haven in the city!
After such a wonderful experience, we decided to rebook at Rival for later in the week, even canceling our other hotel plans. It’s hard to find such a gem in the city center, and we knew we wanted to return to the comfort and hospitality that Cecille and Svedje provided.
If you're looking for a charming hotel with an unbeatable location and exceptional staff, look no further than Rival. We can’t wait for our next visit! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Jane from United Kingdom (10/10)
