Soder Malarstrand Hotels

We stayed there three nights and enjoyed it a lot. Of course the room was quite small but that's a little bit what we were looking for; we wanted to try something different and did not regret it. The price was reasonable. We has a room for two on the upper deck, above the restaurant, so it was very quiet en we could feel the boat rock gently. We had our own sink in the room along with a (very) small desk with a chair and a small wardrobe. The toilets and showers were fairly close to the room and both worked just fine (I recommend bringing your own shower gel). There was also a big common living room where you could watch the TV and have chats with other travellers. The view over Gamla Stan is also quite amazing and the vision could span over a good part of Östermalm too. I usually went off the subway at the Gamla Stan station and walk on the bridge to Söder Mälarstrand, but you can probably also get off at Slussen, as it may be easier to reach Rygerfjord if you carry heavy luggage. The reception for the Wi-fi varies greatly depending on where you are located in the boat, but generally there is good reception in the room. You can also rent a bike right at the hotel for a very reasonable price. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast has a lot of variety, including some traditional Swedish food and the price for it is alright.

The staff at the red boat are fabulous, especially Thomas and kris, so incredibly helpful. The rooms were clean and appropriate for what we paid, we were more than happy to stay for a week and the bar/ common room is very cosy. I'd definitely recommend it. It is, of course, an actual boat on water so not advised if you get sea sick.
