Room Amenities
Dining
There’s a lobby bar and lounge next to reception, when you where you can relax with a coffee, glass of wine or cool beer with a snack and take in the view over Hötorget square. There is also a bar menu available. Publik Restaurant & Bar, popular with hungry and thirsty shoppers, is on the third floor of PUB department store, and is accessible by elevator directly from the Hotel. Kungshallen food court, with 15 restaurants and 800 covers under one roof, is opposite the Hotel. Great dining experiences await you at the array of small restaurants surrounding the Hotel and down towards Stureplan. Many of them are really popular, so we recommend you book a table a few days in advance. Don't hesitate to contact Hotel reception during your stay—they’ll be happy to suggest their favorite restaurants and will help you book a table.
Entertainment
As well as restaurants, there’s great entertainment on your doorstep, along Kungsgatan and down towards Stureplan, just five minutes' walk away. There’s plenty of shopping in the same building as the Hotel (including trendy interior design store R.O.O.M. on PUB.03), as well as right outside the Hotel, along Drottninggatan or Sergelgatan down to Sergels Torg square and the prestigious Gallerian shopping mall. If you want culture, head south along Drottninggatan, via Kulturhuset cultural center, the Swedish House of Parliament, Royal Palace, and continue to the Old Town (Gamla Stan), some 10 minutes’ walk away. You can get to many of Stockholm's major theaters within a few minutes, and as well as the historical Centralbadet spa with its health center and gym. Tickets to a wide range of sightseeing tours are available from reception. The Filmstaden Sergel multiplex is just 50 m from the Hotel, on the same site as Hötorgshallen, an amazing indoor market right, which is a must-see.

“Good place in Stockholm”
This hotel is in a good location--walking distance from the main train station but not too close. Easy walk to Old Town and other places. Good for shopping.
“Good value”
good location, friendly, efficient, good price, comfortable and not surprisingly, busy.
“Good Hotel but a bit noisy”
Good hotel in a great location. Rooms are small, like anywhere in Stockholm. Only complaint was the room wasn't very soundproof so heard doors opening and closing all night
“An excellent hotel to explore Stockholm”
The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and within walking distance from the historical area and in the middle of the shopping district. Breakfast buffet was included with our room and it was impressive. Wi-fi was also included. Staff is helpful and we got upgraded to a better room. We would go back to this hotel.
“great place”
Great location, easy to get around town. Rooms were large. We arrived early and asked if we could store our bags and they just checked us in early.
“Decent hotel”
The room was small and a bit noisy. The plumbing, in particular, was quite loud. That said, the room was large enough for sleeping in, it was clean, and everything in it worked. The best features of the hotel were the location, which was convenient to many of the important sites in Stockholm, and the breakfast buffet, which was tasty, filling, and free.
“Israeli in Sweden”
Hotel staff was very supportive and responsive. The hotel is located at the center of Stockholm shopping area and walking distance to Stockholm attractions. Althogh we had Wireless Internet at the room the reception was poor which caused many disconnects.
“Great location, surprisingly quiet room”
I was impressed with the convenience of this hotel's location. It was just steps away from the Hotorget metro stop, just one stop away from T-centralen/City terminalen. The hotel was in a safe and lively shopping area with a variety of restaurants nearby. I'd compare this to staying on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. The hotel breakfast offered many good hot and cold food options, but the environment could be a bit crazy. When we checked in, the receptionist warned us that 9:00 a.m. was a particularly busy time. We found that a late breakfast (10:30 a.m.) was well worth the 'picked over' effect because of the peace and quiet. Look for tour group schedules posted next to the elevator. You probably don't want to arrive for breakfast at the same time that they do.
“Convenent, efficient, comfortable”
Rica hotel is very conveniently located for the Central station and Tunnelbanen (Underground). Plenty of local colour in adjacent market. Staff friendly and efficient, breakfast buffet generous with high quality and good variety.My economy room with no windows was perfect for Swedish midsummer because there was no early morning light to wake me up and I slept comfortably till my alarm went off.Rates reasonable and I shall try to go back again.
“Tiny room with an even smaller bathroom”
I booked this hotel based on the good reviews it had. The hotel itself was clean, modern and well kept. However, I found the room TINY and the bathroom shower even smaller. I am a small gal (5'5 130lbs), but I had problems knocking my arms/elbows on the tile wall as I showered so I can only imagine what a larger, tall person would deal with... My standard is the hotel room needs to be as nice or nicer than my own personal bedroom and this didn't make the cut in my opinion. I understand that hotels in downtown Stockholm are pricey, but next time I will pay double or triple to get a normal sized room. This hotel felt like a weird mix between a hostel and a 4 or maybe 5 star hotel - that the best way I could explain it.
