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 Norway in 1950, this ship has been permanently docked on Södermälarstrand 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 float, then give the Rygerfjord a chance.

There isn't much to the cabins: just plain walls, striped bedding, and, well, that's pretty much it. Standard and Captain's cabins have private bathrooms, while budget cabins and the "hostel" rooms–which sleep two to 12 people (sheets and towels are SEK 60)—share facilities.

We like the Astroturf-covered deck out front. Furnished with picnic tables and green Tro beer umbrellas, it's a nice spot to kick back on a summer day.

Location: Very central

1.6km to city center

Hands down, Södermalm is one of our favorite neighborhoods. As its name implies, the island forms the southern part of central Stockholm. Once known as a working-class neighborhood, a hipster revolution has turned this area into a hot-spot known for edgy shops, trendy bars, and funky restaurants.

Accommodation here tends to be more affordable than in other parts of the city center. So what more could you ask for? Staying in Söder, as the locals have it, puts you a little out of the way from the major sights and museums. But historic Gamla Stan and Norrmalm are just across the water.

As you head south in Söder, things become much more residential, with wide streets, tall apartment buildings, and less glamorous stores addressing, um, everyday needs.
