Overall Ratings & Reviews Mälardrottningen Hotel

This is a unique stay in a fabulous city. The staff were kind and most accommodating. Of note (these are things to expect) that add to the charm of this stay. The yacht/boat is almost 100 years old, expect some normal wear. The renovations done recently have done well to update the setting. There is a lift for luggage. If you are in a party of 2 or more, don't lug your items up the gangway/walkway to reception. One person can check-in, while the other waits at the door immediately off the paved walkway, and bring the luggage through the door on ground level. There is going to be noise and light at night time, it's a city, you are staying on a boat that boasts over 50 rooms. Bring a sleeping masking and ear plugs. Those 2 items are crucial for travel regardless of your choice in lodging. The breakfast offerings were outstanding. The restaurant food was divine, as was the view to enjoy while dining. Another guest review complained about staff eating in the same location as the guests. How disheartening it is that someone could be bothered by such a thing. We were pleased to share our space with the staff. The location was a less then 10 minute walk from the commuter train stop at Gamla Stan. You can leave your luggage for free there before and after check-in/check-out. There are plenty of shops and eateries nearby. Bottomline, would stay again!

I couldn't resist staying here for my 2 night stay - I mean, it's a boat hotel! The room was small but I knew it would be. There was room to move around though. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was great. I was surprised that there is an elevator. It was nice to come back at the end of a long day and grab a drink in the restaurant.

Very nice. Quirky. Excellent location. Service varied by who was on… bar/restaurant has a lovely 1920s feel restoration & character. Cabins need a bit of love (snag jobs/touch up). Fun overall.

In general it was an amazing location, walking distance to the city center, view and great breakfast. Interior very cozy. In term of comfort, the locks and the app are not sync so it takes more than a few attempts to open the door.

Nice location and near to the main attraction within the city.

I loved staying on the yacht for the first three nights. The breakfast was excellent, though the scrambled eggs weren’t the best. My cabin was quiet until the fourth night when a man was in the room next to mine and he snored very loudly. Unfortunate as the bed was against the same wall as mine so it was very hard to get any sleep. The yacht is a lovely place to stay and the sunset views incredible. The best view on Gamla Stan.

Everthing very good Only problem was the app key acess on your mobile which took a long time to open doors or not at all Staff very good and gave me a card for opening doors

Second time within a year. Great for the price and excellent location.

The clue is in the name, the Malardrottningen Yacht Hotel is on a 73m yacht permanently moored at a dock near the old town with amazing views over the water. My cabin was small but serviceable and comfortable, but the bathroom was a little cramped. The food in the restaurant was excellent and I would definitely stay again.

This was an amazing stay at a unique location that oozed character and charm. The location could not be beat, the staff was super helpful and the price was great. Highly recommended to anyone staying in Stockholm.

Excellent stay. Will recommend. Clean, good location, good service and breakfast. Thank you Lady Hutton ❤️❤️❤️

We really enjoyed our time on the boat. The staff was very friendly, the room was clean and the breakfast was amazing. 10/10 would recommend / stay again.

Amazing boat and great views!

This was my sixth stay at Mälardrottningen, so obviously I’m a fan. It’s been a few years since my last stay and there have been some changes, the reception area has been relocated and the restaurant has been updated. It’s all very nice looking but requires that you drag your luggage up a metal ramp to check in. And as before, the stairs are short and somewhat steep so hang on to the hand rail. The staff is lovely and the included breakfast buffet is very nice. Rooms were nice and warm despite the wind and cold outside. Less than a five minute walk to the t-bana and only 99sek for an uber to or from central station.

Excellant place to stay. Very near Central Stockholm and Gran Stanla. Really great breakfast.

Great experience and location

A yaught hotel located very close to Gamla Stan. Fabulous interior and awesome views on the lake. Friendly staff. Yummy breakfast.

Very good. It's the age of the vessel that gives it It's USP but also means it's a bit tired. See other reviews.

My cabin was very comfortable and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was perfect.

nice view
