We had a wonderful stay in this unique accommodation. The location is excellent, with all the attractions of Gamla Stan just a short stroll away, whilst also being very quiet. The metro station is a 5 minute walk and it is just one stop away from the Central Station, which makes all of Stockholm easily accessible, including airport transfer options. The cabin was cosy, the bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was good, and the breakfast selection was excellent. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Very helpful and lovely staff. Great breakfast! Really worth the price. The room we stayed in was really quite small and tight, but cozy. The Tv has a sport channel :) Great location, close to the metro station "Gamla stan"

Sandra Netherlands

This place is special because of its staff :) Staff are super helpful and friendly! They often go above and beyond to answer all questions and help all they can. Even before my arrival, Matilda and Leo were both very patient answering all my questions. As soon as I arrived, one lady immediately offered to pack me a breakfast bag since I had an early morning flight. Next, Matilda was very patient helping me with check-in and gave me great food recommendations. I can't thank them enough. Bed, shower, room and temperature were comfy. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas, Matilda, Leo and everyone else :)

Host Review Score
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.
