Frommer's "The on-site restaurant earns kudos, too, as does the buzzy bar area and music club below it (don't worry, it's well insulated, so no sound from it in the guestrooms)"
Concierge "Two features from the 1937 building remain intact (though renovated): a glamorous circular cocktail bar and a 703-seat scarlet-velvet movie house"
Jetsetter "Hotel Rival is one kilometer away from the Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s romantic 18th- and 19th- century Old Town, and a short walk to the baroque Royal Palace, where the King is still in residence"
Lonely Planet "The scrumptious bakery-cafe and restaurant-bar attached to the hotel are prime spots from which to ogle Stockholm's beautiful people"
Time Out "The old cocktail bar and plush red-velvet cinema are art deco treasures"
Star Service "The well-appointed private lounge at the end of the hallway on Floor 7 has a large picture window on opposite sides, offering views of both courtyard and square"
