My second stay at the Mälardrottningen. I liked the experience of staying on a vessel. Its location just a few steps from the Gamla stan "T" stop is ideal. Room is small, but remember this is a boat and the space is naturally limited.

When you enter the gangway of Mälardrottningen, you might be walking in the same footsteps of former movie stars, politicians and royals. The ship was built in 1924 for Mr C.K.G Billings, a millionaire from New York, and was at that time the world’s largest diesel driven yacht. The ship was later bought by the Woolworth-millionaire Frank W. Hutton. Barbara Hutton, the Woolworth heiress received it as a gift from her father on her 18th birthday. Barbara lived an extravagant life among royals and movie stars and in the 1940’s she was married to Cary Grant. She later sold the ship to the Royal British Navy for one pound sterling. During the Second World War the ship was anchored very shortly in Panama and later on moved to Norway where she was used as a training ship. During the fifties the ship was used as a passenger ferry between Stockholm and Åbo in Finland. Since 1982, Mälardrottningen has been at her current location and only leaves the dock for maintenance every fifth year.

“Good place to stay with a poor quality restaurant”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 3 nights
You have an option to have a dinner on the boat. However staff there is very rude. They don't allow to chose any table, cause it's already "served" for other people, but no one was there even one our later. We didn't get a menu even, they just ignored us. Do not recommend that restaurant in any case!
It was really interesting experience. Rooms are comfy and clean. Hotel located next to the historical center. Simple breakfast, but everyone can find something they really like.

“Excellent location but some issues with the room facilities”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
The ventilation in the room was very loud and couldn't be turned off. It was white noise, so you can sleep through it, but if you're sensitive to this, bring ear plugs. The shower temperature was very erratic, ice cold one moment, dangerously hot the next (when a neighbour flushes...). Since there are no thermostatic valves it requires quick reflexes.
Excellent location, very close to Gamla Stan. The Gamla Stan subway station is only 5 minutes away. The view over the water was great, and the ship is a lot more special than just another hotel. Very good breakfast!

“Great stay, central location for sightseeing, interesting alternative to traditional hotels.”

Slightly dated and tiny room and bathroom. BUT: a) totally acceptable given the positives, b) kind of added to the charm, c) it's a ship so it's expected.
Great experience sleeping on the boat despite expected small room size. Nice view out of the window (water :) ) The breakfast was magnificent - loved it! Location was spot on for Gamla Stan and surroundings, and near transportation.

“Excellent location, friendly staff, great sauna”
- • Leisure trip

Stayed for 5 days and was a bit disappointed to have the same breakfast selection every day. Not a huge drawback since it was good quality. Also, the room might seem a little bigger in the photos than it is actually. I wasn't bothered that much since I was traveling solo and this cue was expected on a boat.
Excellent location, right in the city center, 5 minute walk away from the Old Town. The staff was super friendly and can give you directions if needed. Daily room cleaning. And, of course, the sauna (by booking for yourself for 1h, so you don't have to worry about other guests there at the same time).
