Since I relied heavily on tripadviser reviews for selecting hotels during my recent trip, it's only fair that I return the favor because the reviews were spot on. Could not have asked for a better location, great staff, and we only had two issues. Our first issue was our room was not available when we checked in and our second... More

Trots en felbokning av bokningsbolaget fixade Rica i gamla stan till ett rum till mig och löste min situation. Servicen var utmärkt, det var rent och snyggt och frukosten var trevlig. Hotellet ligger väldigt fint nära gamla stan i Stockholm. Even though the booking company made a mistake in booking, the personel at Rica was able to help me out... More

Given the raving reviews, my expectations were a little higher, none the less, the hotel is clean, comfortable and in a great location. For the 4 stars, I would have expected a bit more. The single room I booked was really tiny, but very clean. Personally one of the things I found annoying about the breakfast is that the room... More

Just a couple of minutes from Gamla Stan t-bana or 15 minutes walk from the centreal station/city terminalen, the Rica hotel Gamla Stan is a great base for exploring the city. Reception was always friendly and helpful, making some great recommendations for places to eat which wouldn't break the bank. Tea and coffee is available from the cupboard in the... More

This is a perfect spot as a Stockholm base, situated in the heart of the Old Town with access to most of the city's key areas and the Tunnelbana. Lots of character, very clean and one of the best breakfast selections you could ask for. Rooms bit small but would have been surprised re nature of building if it had... More

This was my second trip to Stockholm and second stay in Gamla Stan (Old Town). The previous time I thought I'd found my perfect hotel: Sven Vintappare, but I couldn't get a good rate there for this trip so booked Hotel Rica Gamla Stan which was offering a very competitive rate for my travel dates. I won't look anywhere else... More

Situated in Stockholm's delightful old town, the Rica Gamla Stan is a real treasure and a much-needed change from identikit chain hotels. It's a quirky, charming building with character stone floors and stairs, a tiny and veteran lift and beautiful decor throughout. OK, our room was an odd shape but it was comfortable, not air conditioned to death and was... More

Perfect location in Gamla Stan. I stayed on my own in a single room that was very quaint. Hotel clean, cosy and basic (but in a nice way). I loved the Swedish breakfast each morning and the coffee was great.

The hotel is special with charming furniture, wallpaper and spacious rooms. A little challenging for disabeled people, but very good else.

Eureka! We found it - a great place to spend a few days while we toured Stockholm! The hotel was recommended by a native Swede and she was spot on. The room was clean and met all of our needs. Besides our bed and bedside tables, our room provided a writing desk, a table and chairs, and a sitting sofa/daybed.... More
