Nice, but I had a noisy room
Agree with other reviewers on the hotel's friendly ambience and hipness factor. Breakfast is also very well done. One caution -- I had a room on the first floor immediately above the bar area, and the night I arrived (a Saturday) there was very loud music coming from immediately below until 2 AM! I called the desk and they told me (politely, of course) there was not much to be done about it. Happened one other nigt as well, though not as late in the night.

A excellent hotel in all respects. I thoroughly enjoyed this place. It was not at all like the typical "cookie-cutter" chain hotels that all seem so alike.
The Rival was in a word "Cool". The room was unique, open, relaxing, and welcoming. The plasma TV was visible from the Bathtub, since one wall in the bathroom was glass with a privacy shade. The bed had Egyptian Cotton Sheets. There was a cinema downstairs, and an "Honesty bar" upstairs on the 7th floor, which is a fully stocked open bar in a living room environment. You have a few drinks, relax and keep track on a tally sheet that you turn in when you leave.
You won't forget this place.

We came to the Rival as part of a package holiday for 3 nights. The hotel is in a good location and the staff are very helpfull and friendly - and of course, as with everyone in Sweden, their English is perfect.
We had a standard room, which was decorated to a modern and high standard. The en-suite bathroom was lovely too. A really nice feature was the 36 inch screen plasma tv, and the ability to rent DVDs from reveption for 60 SEK.
The breakfast was lovely, nothing too fancy, but plenty of simple and satisfying things - and as it was a buffet we bever left until our bellies were full!
We also enjoyed the lounge music that was played by a DJ on a wednesday evening and the complimentary nibbles. The cafe Rival is also very nice and we ate there twice.
In all, it does feel quite trendy, but not up itself at all.

I stayed here for 3 nights recently and had a "superior" room. Room was slightly small, but finished in funky Scandinavian style. Bathroom had a shower with great water pressure and heated floor, though there was no bath.
Location is quiet on a garden square, just out of Old town in Sodermalm, and within a couple of hundred metres of a Metro station. There is a supermarket and a number of restaurants nearby.
Breakfast was excellent and the cafe attached to the hotel seemed to attract a number of locals - a good sign!
All in all a very pleasant stay at a hip hotel.... I would certainly stay here again next time I visit Stockholm.

A fun, modern hotel in a unique location in Sweden. Short walk to the Old City. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant balcony that overlooks the neighborhood square is a great place to have a cocktail an unwind after a day of sightseeing.
I would highly recommend.

I have stayed at this hotel 3 times, the rooms are simple and clean and well maintained, and the buffet breakfast is excellent. It is situated in a quite square, a few hundred yards from the underground station, and within walking distance of the old town, and Stockholm centre. It also has underground parking
