"Great hotel, very convenient location, excellent free breakfast. I would stay there again." — source Venere

Location:

"On the plus side, Rival is located right smack in one of the prettiest residential squares in this side of the city (Mariatorget) wth a lovely park with a fountain, swings for the children, and even a square for playing boules." — source Venere

"Lovely location on Mariatorget, lively area night and day, be aware the the movie theater holds many events (musical and others) and that people are out late at night, but inside the hotel you cant hear a thing." — source Venere

"The location on the island of S�dermalm is a 10 minute walk to Gamla Stan (Old Town) and the subway station is 2 blocks away for trips further out." — source Expedia

"It is situated in an interesting and fun area with plenty of shopping and night life. Walking distance to the harbor area." — source Expedia
