Sleeping in Stockholm yes, but sleeping in an original place in the Swedish city is not for everyone. That's why we recommend the Mälardrottningen Hotel.
Stockholm, Sweden, Scandinavia ... Besides the cold, snow and so on, what do you instinctively think about? I definitely think of Vikings, the irreducible men of the North, who braved the most difficult conditions by sailing from port to port of those lands on mythological ships.
Today to stay overnight in Stockholm a very nice and original idea is to sleep in Mälardrottningen Hotel, which is nothing more than a hotel inside a boat in the port of the Swedish capital. Okay, this is a yacht from 1924 and not an ancient Viking ship, but a bit of charm, even in the midst of all that comfort offered, remains.
The yacht, as mentioned, is docked at the Stockholm port, in the Gamla Stan area. Therefore it is very convenient from there to reach some places of interest such as Riddarholmen church, Kungliga Slottet and the museum of medieval Stockholm. In the same area there are also the Stockholm City Hall and the Royal Swedish Opera, the main opera house in the city and all of Sweden. It is also very convenient to reach the metro and thus move freely throughout the city.
For those who choose this accommodation to stay in Stockholm, it is advisable to always keep in mind that it is one boat and not a traditional hotel. The bedrooms and bathrooms, therefore, cannot be too spacious, as perhaps we are accustomed to expect, precisely because it is an elaboration of what were once naval cabins. In their small way, however, the cleanliness and the quality of the preparation of the rooms is impeccable, as well as the particularity of the furnishings, kept as faithful as possible to the original ones of almost 90 years ago.
Breakfast, included in the room rate, is served in the ship's restaurant, located on the forward deck, with panoramic views of the sea, the harbor and the city of Stockholm. Prices per night that vary between 100 and 200 € per room, with an interesting end of July even below 100, while May seems to be the top period. In any case, given the position and knowing the prices of the city a little, this is a solution to be taken absolutely into consideration, provided that there are no a priori foreclosures towards alternative accommodations and, above all, towards boats. .
