Pros (+) This hotel was in a great location, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. The rooms were very stylish and perfectly clean. We arrived very late our first night, and we just missed the closing of their kitchen. Luckily, they have 24 hour room service, and they even comped us our meal, which was really generous.

FAQs when booking at Hotel Rival

  • From the airport, what is the best way to reach Hotel Rival?

    If your flight is landing at Bromma Stockholm Airport (BMA), look for yellow or black taxis with roof signs (some have black and white shades) at the arrival hall, on the right-hand side. If you have pre-booked a taxi ride, you will find the driver waiting next to the car rental parking lots. Although taxi fares are fixed, you can always ask for a discount. A bus transfer is the cheapest form of transport. You just buy a ticket to the central station (about 2 miles to Hotel Rival). The Flygbussarna coach is punctual and more reliable; boarding is on the left-hand side of the arrival hall. If arriving through Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN), use the Arlanda Express airport train.

  • Does Hotel Rival provide tour services to nearby attractions?

    The hotel provides a tour desk for guests' convenience, and its central location in Stockholm makes it an ideal base to explore the city's numerous attractions. Hotel Rival, situated just 1.1 miles away from the Royal Palace, offers a chance to delve deeper into Stockholm's offerings beyond the typical tourist experiences. For added convenience, the hotel offers car hire services, public transport ticket assistance, car rental, and limo/town car services. Nearby points of interest include the Nobel Prize Museum (1 mile); Kungsträdgården, a city-center park featuring a winter ice rink, concerts, art galleries, and dining options (1.1 miles); Östermalms Food Hall (1.9 miles); and Stockholm City Hall (2.2 miles). If you want to explore by yourself, you can hire a bicycle at the reception.

  • What can I expect from the rooms at Hotel Rival, and which one should I pick?

    The rooms at Hotel Rival have a unique charm. For the best experience, reserve one of the rooms featuring either a balcony or terrace with courtyard and park views.

  • Where will I park when arriving at Hotel Rival with a car?

    Free on-site parking and private parking facilities are available for your convenience. If you prefer valet parking, you can pre-book a space in the hotel's garage. The staff will take care of your car upon check-in for a daily charge. Please note that larger vehicles exceeding the size of a regular SUV cannot be accommodated. For guests arriving at the hotel with a car rental from the airport, there are several garages outside the hotel available for an extra fee per day. You may also find street parking in the nearby residential areas, which is free from 5 pm to 9 am, but the daytime parking rate is per hour.

  • Can I visit with my four-legged friend?

    You are welcome to stay with your pooch in designated dog rooms with towels for wet paws, food and water bowls, dog beds, and bed linens. However, your pup must weigh 22 pounds or less, and only one pet is permitted per room. Also, you must have trained your dog to stay without barking or disturbing people if you want him to stay in the room by himself. Avoid grooming your furry friend in the guest room, bathroom, and balcony. The onsite Watson's Bar is pet-friendly, but you cannot enter Rival's Bistro with your dog.
