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 "Majestic waterfront hotel made up of 3 buildings, the oldest dating back to 1874. Impressive conference rooms and splendid spa."
Concierge "The Grand, in continuous service since 1874, has the best location of all, fronting the harbor, with views of the Old Town and the Royal Palace."
Fodor's "Its location is one of the best in the city... the service is slick and professional, and it predicts your every need." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Magnificently located just a stone’s throw from the National Museum... and Kungsträdgården the Grand is one of the world’s great hotels."
Time Out "The location of the Grand Hôtel could hardly be more perfect - or more symbolic. Built in 1874, it stands by the harbour, with splendid views of the Royal Palace." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is Stockholm's reigning queen, a classic old-world place in the lovely inner harbor area, the best location in charming Stockholm." Full review
Gayot "Opened in 1874, this sophisticated, historically significant property enjoys a sweeping harbor-front location."
