The breakfasts were massive and absolutely fantastic, the service was good, and we enjoyed a budget room in good condition with a wake-up service available.

Downtown, very tasty breakfasts, clean.

A very small shower cubicle.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city center. We were pleasantly surprised by the fairly quiet and absolutely gorgeous standard king room with modern, clean bathrooms. - the breakfast was reasonably good. - the staff at the front desk was welcoming.

Great location in the beautiful old Town, very good value, comfortable and pleasant hotel, would recommend to anybody and will stay again.

Pleasant and polite staff and popular hotel.

Marvellous location, fairly large property, exceptionally comfortable beds. Location adjacent to the Old Town-Gamla Stan and other restaurants. Nearby The Flying Elk - great place to chill out. The hotel of choice in Stockholm.

The location here is ideal for exploring a public square on foot, with clean beds and a tidy, compact standard room.

This is a beautiful, old hotel, with authentic wooden floors and antiques. It is lovely to look at. The breakfast, which is included, is phenomenal; I don't think you could possibly ask for a better breakfast, and the fact it's included in the price is much appreciated, since the hotel is not inexpensive to stay at (I paid more for this hotel per day than I did for a centrally-located 3-4 star hotel in Paris two weeks ago!).

For the price, which was pretty steep (something like $200 us a day) I thought the room left a lot to be desired. The bed was good, the decorations were very pretty. However, the room is one of theirs that looks over an unlovely alley in what turns out to be Gamla Stan's noisier areas, where there are quite a few bars that go until at least one A.M. in the tourist season. The noise was impossible to ignore from the 2nd floor, and since it was warmer than usual, closing the windows could not be replaced by air conditioning, because Sweden doesn't think of itself as warm enough to have much in the way of air conditioning—something that's going to have to change, in my estimation. Then, the bathroom was laughably tiny, considering the size of the room, which was a good size. You could sit on the toilet and wash your hands in the oversize sink, which has its advantages, I suppose, if you like to multitask. Aside from that, it's a good room, the price is too high, the location is right inside Gamla Stan, which I thought, at first, would be ideal, and then later regretted being that close to the nighttime action. I had no idea Gamla Stan was so popular with young people. I love Gamla Stan; absolutely love it, but next time, will stay somewhere less centrally located and walk more.

Incredible location

Wonderful hotel. Fab food. - Very clean beds. - Adjoining terrace and a living area in the room. - Full size breakfast with coffee, bread, pastries, and meats

The Rica Hotel is situated very conveniently for the Hop-on-hop-off boats and busses. The alleys are a delight, especially at night . There are lovely little shop for browsing and shopping and the atmosphere is electric. The hotel is nicely decorated and our room, although not 5star, was comfortable and pleasing on the eye. The buffet breakfast was amazing--- I'm not sure that one could think of anything else one might like. I found it difficult to choose what I wanted as it was all so tempting. I found the reception staff very helpful and friendly

Pleasant and polite staff and popular hotel.
