Stockholm old town is a perfect place for walking. From Rica hotel you are close to the most on your own two feet; excellent restaurants, an opera, museums, churches, pedestrian streets for "advanced" shopping, a picturesque harbor with small boats that take you around on the many waterways, you name it.... and the royal castle, of course, a big, extremely...

We were a group from the Nordic countries and stayed for four nights. The hotel is of course in an old building and is not very convenient to move around in and the rooms were rather small. One of us had to change rooms because the sink in the bathroom was blocked and the flush in the toilet didn't work.... More

Have stayed in this hotel on a few occasions while working for a Swedish company. Always found the location of this hotel the best spot for travelling around on the Tunnelbana system and eating out. Placed in the centre of the Old town you have everything from a funky new restaurant over looking the waterfront to a sports bar in... More

We're a group of 7 couples from the office on a weekend trip. This gem of a hotel that was run by the Salvation Army until 30 years ago is so well hidden that our transfer busdriver and a local Rita meter maid pointed us in the opposite direction to get here. Small refurbished rooms work quite fine. This old... More

Rica Hotel Gamla Stan is a great option in the pretty Old Town area of Stockholm. It was a really easy walk from Stockholm Central (where the Arlanda Express goes to) or you can transfer to the Tunnelbana to get even closer to the hotel. It was maybe a 10 min walk from Stockholm Central or a 2 min walk... More

My husband and I visited Stockholm from 21st-24th December 2012 and stayed here at the Rica. We flew into Arlanda airport which is quite new and beautifully designed. We had a totally stress free arrival/departure. We also used Airport Cabs Stockholm for our transfer (I dealt with them by email in advance and they were very helpful). The hotel itself... More

Gamla Stan was covered with a lite dusting of snow when we got there Mar 22. It's rather a magical looking place anyway, so this made it almost perfect in my book. The hotel was warm and happy, just a short walk to everything we wanted to do or see in Stockholm. I loved the staircase. Our room was very... More

My wife and I stayed at the Rica Hotel Gamla Stan for five nights at the end of March and in early April, 2013. Overall, this is an excellent small hotel. We had a room on the top (fourth) floor. We were given this because we requested a single, large bed. The bed was approximately a king, and quite comfortable.... More
