LogInn Hotel

Still haven't found a hotel that floats your boat? The 29-room LogInn Hotel, one of several boat-hotels on the northern edge of Södermalm, is a solid option, particularly for those who would like a little ambiance and aren't into sharing bathrooms with their neighbors.

Rooms, as on most boats, are on the small side, as are the bathrooms—turn around and you're on the other side! The décor is plain, and the furniture is simple. All rooms have en suite bathrooms and nice bedding. Cheaper rooms have smaller beds: either twin-sized bunks or double-size mattresses.

The LogInn's common areas have a playful nautical ambience, without overdoing the anchor motif. The spacious bar, lounge with flat screen TV, and restaurant are inviting hangouts and make up for somewhat cramped quarters below. The lounge has a wooden bar stocked with beer, which was attracting quite a crowd when we stopped by.

There's also an outside deck with faux ivy, colored stage lights, and picnic tables. On Friday and Saturday nights (during the summer), there's often live entertainment consisting of cover bands performing their takes on old pop songs.
