Every year or so, we plan a trip out of the country to see a new part of the world. This year, we decided to go see where both of my grandmothers' families are from. Also, I was going to have a chance to see a friend from high school whom I had not seen in almost 30 years who... more

We stayed in two hotels on different islands in Stockholm and kept extending our stay because we were enjoying the city so much. The advantage of this Rica Hotel is it's very convenient location. Gamla Stan has lots of restaurants and museums plus ferry access. You can easily walk to different areas from here, including the train station. It is... more

Stayed here for 3 nights in late September. The only bad thing I have to say is that our room wasn't really until after 2pm. I had sent a message saying we would arrive early but they did seem very busy. Considering that it would have been nice if they compted us breakfast that morning instead of charging just a... more

Rica Hotel is located in the heart of Gamla Stan, only metres from the shops and waters edge. Our room was small but beautifully appointed with big windows that open fully and the bathroom was modern with great water pressure. The service was impeccable, the gentleman at the front desk was very professional, warm and friendly, and nothing was too... more

A tad more basic than we had expected. But friendly service and catered for our needs (we were only there for one night, so didn't need a great deal of pampering). Superb location. Would definitely recommend. more

For a 3-Star certificated hotel, you expect more; this is basically an upmarket Bed & Breakfast. However, you are right in the middle of the Old Town, with only a 1 minute walk to the subway, which gets you to the central rail station in about 1 minute, so a great location for business travellers and tourists alike. What is... more

When my boyfriend and I decided to travel to Stockholm for a week, we read mostly about hotels located in "the city" or in Sodermalm, the gentrifying and youthful part of Stockholm. However, when we spoke with a number of our Swedish friends and told them we'd chosen a hotel in the Gamla Stan, they said it was obvious we... more

We spent four nights here meeting up with friends who had travelled over from Finland. Overall, a really nice hotel. Although part of the Rica chain it felt individual. I've stayed in corporate hotels in Sweden and this was so much nicer. Although others have said the rooms are small, ours was a decent enough size with attractively finished modern... more

My wife and I were stayed at the hotel for three nights, while on vacation. As a diamond Hilton Honors member, we were upgraded to a business suite with a balcony facing Gamla Stan. Otherwise, picturesque views with a location near public transportation stops. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. We took full advantage of the exceptional executive lounge.... more
