The 65-room M/S Rygerfjord, one of the larger boat-hotels in Stockholm, is a white three-decker serving as both a hostel and a hotel. Built in 1950, this ship has been permanently docked on S? M䬡rstrand since 1995. If you're looking for a real nautical experience or refined, yacht-like ambience, then head elsewhere. But if you want a simple, affordable place to sleep and hang, then give the Rygerfjord a chance.
There isn't much to the cabins: just plain walls, boring striped bedding, and, well, that's pretty much it. Standard and Captain's cabins include private bathrooms and a Scandinavian breakfast buffet. Budget cabins and the "hostel" rooms -- which sleep two to 12 people (sheets and towels are SEK 60) -- share facilities and do not include breakfast.
The Astroturf-covered deck out front wins big points from us. Furnished with picnic tables and green Ţro beer umbrellas, it's a nice spot to kick back on a summer day. Along with a few beers, the Rygerfjord's deck could help a solo traveler make some new friends.
The restaurant is open from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m.
