Hotel Rival | Hotel in Sodermalm, Stockholm County

Hotel Rival places you in Södermalm, Stockholm, in a 1930s Art Déco building beside Mariatorget Square. From here, the city feels close and walkable, with Gamla Stan about a 10 minute walk away and Mariatorget Metro Station just steps from the door. It is a practical base for moving through central Stockholm, while still giving you a quieter address facing the square and its trees. Some stays here look onto Mariatorget, adding an easy sense of place to your time in the city.Inside, the rooms are set up for a comfortable stay rather than showy detail. You will find free Wi Fi, a flat screen TV with a Blu ray player, an iPhone docking station, pillow menus, and Egyptian cotton sheets as standard. The luxury beds are the kind of detail you notice at the end of a long day out, and some rooms add bathrobes and slippers. The decor carries a scene from a classic Swedish movie, which gives each room its own visual note without taking away from the calm, straightforward feel.Shared spaces keep the stay easy. Free tea, coffee, and cookies are available around the clock, and free DVD rentals are available at the front desk. Bistro Restaurant serves Swedish cuisine alongside an extensive wine list, while the bar offers chilled beers and cocktails in a more relaxed evening setting. Parking is available, along with accessibility features, air conditioning, and laundry services where needed, so the stay can flex around the way you move through the day.On foot, Södermalm gives you a direct way into Stockholm with everyday convenience built in. You can head out for dinner, return to a hotel that feels grounded in its setting, and use the metro when you want to move farther across the city. Hotel Rival leaves you with the sense of staying somewhere considered, central, and comfortably in step with the neighborhood around it.
