Michelin Guide "Characterful 17C house in a pleasant Old Town setting. Cosy bedrooms are classically styled, well-maintained and equipped with good modern facilities; bathrooms are compact but smart."
DK Eyewitness "Charming winding streets lead to the doorstep of this cosy establishment. Located close to the Royal Palace, portraits of Swedish royalty dating from the 1650s adorn the walls of every room."
Rough Guide "Wonderfully situated in an elegant medieval building in Gamla Stan, with stylish yet old-fashioned rooms in 1700s Swedish design."
Time Out "Just down the street from the Lord Nelson, this 51-room hotel in a 17th-century building is steps from the waterfront, but none of the rooms has a view." Full review
Lonely Planet "If you fancy classic Swedish interiors, rush to Rica, where the smallish rooms feature everything from powder-blue wallpaper and dainty furniture to vintage chandeliers." Full review
Star Service "Anyone familiar with this chain will pinch themselves as they enter the lobby." Full review

Travelers are advised to ask for a large room, since the small Standard rooms measure a mere 200 sq ft.

Michelin Guide "Comfy, functional bedrooms... Bright, modern restaurant."
Fodor's "The rooms looking out over the water are fantastic here, and for a small supplement you can get a room with a private sauna and Jacuzzi."
DK Eyewitness "Housed in three 18th-century buildings and a historic steamship (for the conference facilities) anchored nearby in the harbour, the Reisen is a lively location."
Rough Guide "One of Stockholm’s classic hotels, dating back to the eighteenth century. Rooms are decked out with handsome wood panelling and all have bathtubs (not the norm in Sweden)."
Time Out "Now run by the First Hotel chain, it fully exploits its waterside location, with each of the 144 handsomely decorated rooms enjoying some sort of water view." Full review
Star Service "On a picturesque harbor, this hotel pleases with its handsome, regionally influenced decor and fine location." Full review

Jetsetter "A stylish central Stockholm stay at an 18th-century hotel overlooking the waterfront, with breakfast." Full review
Lonely Planet "Cool gives way to classic in the clean, comfortable (though slightly tired-looking) rooms." Full review
