The Red Boat

The Red Boat on Söder Mälarstrand

Stockholm is a city surrounded by water so it makes sense that you might want to sleep on a boat. Yes, a boat. Or, to be perfectly correct, two boats: Ran of Stockholm and The Red Boat. The hotel rooms have bed linen, towels, WiFi, and cabel TV in the room. For the slightly cheaper hostel rooms, the WiFi and cabel TV are available in common areas. The boats are moored at the dock, along Söder Mälarstrand, within walking distance of Slussen. The reception is manned every day between 7 AM and 11 PM. It is possible to order breakfast on the boat, but Södermalm also offers a lot of nice coffee shops if you feel like exploring the area.
