    I had a perfectly good sleep in a standard cabin with shared bathroom. I was staying only for one night, and wouldn’t have wanted to stay for more than two. But given the price and location, it’s a bargain. Happened to be allocated a sea view, where I could see the beautiful city hall across the water. Could have been cleaner, and the room needed airing, but no real complaints. Toilet flush was loud, so I could hear in my room, but thankfully no one seemed to need the loo in the wee hours. Had to wait a while for the bathroom to be free in the morning, so patience required if you book the shared option.

    This place was really cool! It is a boat close to everything in central Stockholm. We got a private room with a private bathroom. It was able to fit two people comfortably. The bathroom was small but functional. The staff were really nice and helpful. It is definitely worth the price!

    Overall good experience! A fun way to experience Stockholm. I would say pretty good value for the price. You can add the breakfast buffet for 120 SEK per person, which we did for one morning. I would recommend this if you are considering it, definitely worth the ~$10. There is also a dinner restaurant which we did not go to but they give you a coupon for it. The rooms are very minimalistic. The boat could get a bit noisy but no significant issues.

    A friend chose Rygerfjord for a group of four of us on a Stockholm, for a gig by a certain enormous, American musician (with a religious name). Accommodation options were understandably lean and frankly extortionate that weekend (even by Stockholm's already inflated standards), so Rygerfjord was a great choice for affordability and location. However, any photos found online proved optimistic. Issues with availability and maintenance meant one of the rooms booked wasn't available so the provided alternative was a shared bunk cabin (with a bathroom shared by multiple rooms). My friend got a 'suite' so faired better. A last minute cancellation though allowed me to nab a private room on request (for more money), with the tiniest and most impractical wet room I have ever seen. This was fine but really, this hotel needs to do some work on upkeep. Pillows the size of a cushion (just one in fact) was all that was provided in a tired looking set-up. I think in the summer the vibe of drinks on the hotel deck by the water might be great, which would balance the obvious compromise on room quality (we were there in October). Staff were lovely though and this helped. Building work taking place also meant rooms (many of which missing curtains) overlooked piles of wood and lazy looking tradespeople. The whole experience really could be tidied up with the price still staying low. Ultimately, I think it comes down to a little more care being taken. Budget shouldn't mean this shabby no matter how lovely the staff are.

    Lady at the reception wasn't very nice to us since me and my friend were staying at one of the cheapest room. She was extremly nice to people staying at the expensive ones. We could hear weird drilling noises all night. When I was showering, electricity went off out of blue. We were also told that the reception is open 24/7 but when we tried to check ourselves out at 3:30 am there was no one there. I really hope they can improve their staff in the future.

    We paid for a private room with en suite bathroom. The bathroom was freezing cold and couldn't heat up given the open pipework with the rest of the boat. There was ongoing construction which was not mentioned at check-in and woke us up before 8am. In a city where most places don't open until 10 or later this was very frustrating. Save your money, this place is not worth it

    Perfect for the price, 5 min walking to the old town, and close to the main tourist attractions!

    Decent place to stay for a reasonable price. The concept is a bit unusual, which makes staying there kind of an experience in itself. The hotel has rather simple and minimalistic rooms, sometimes a bit noisy, the beds were not that comfortable, and the common bathrooms could run out of toilet paper, but for shorter stays, it works just fine.

    Pretty good hostel, well organised and on a good position, walking distance from the city centre. It's divided into 3 boats a few metres distance from each other. Even of the kitchen is only on one of the boat, access is very easy.

    A very interesting hostel on a boat, located in a beautiful place. Cabins are small but still it is a great place for a couple of days of sightseeing!

    Our "lake view" room was not great. Tiny room (the width and length of a normal bed) with a stacked bed, tiny "window" (more like a hole) to the corridor. The heater wasnt adjustable and running on full blast. The bathroom and shower are very small, and as a 1.9m guy, I had to duck to shower. Would not recommend! The kitchen is on another boat, so, you gotta go outside to reach it. The rooms were also very badly sound insulated.

    They have three boats to stay. Rooms are cozy and the environment is really good. Very near to the city center. They have different types of rooms so make sure which kind of room you have booked. Their service is 24 hours open and the persons are nice. They have breakfast but you have to order it the night before.

    We stayed in a little double bedroom directy on the main ship. The room itself was cosy and spacious enough for two (be prepared it's quite small) but because it was below sea level /right on sea level we couldn't open the window. When the fan was on, the air was okay, but during night or after we came back to the room, the air was really bad. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and the 24 hour reception made the check in and out very easy.

  • 1/5 Renata W. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst room ever. Small, with unpleasnt smell and no way to get any fresh air. Upper bed is small and has no protection against falling. It is difficult to sleep and event breath inside.

  • 5/5 Marcello E. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and nice view of the city. Rooms are quite small but they add to the charme. Breakfast is average

  • 1/5 Christian M. 2 years ago on Google
    You have no idea how cramped these rooms are. If you're over 1.50m in length, you're not going to have a good time. The toilet in our room sprung a leak, but the staff were completely uninterested in fixing it or accommodating us in another room.

  • 3/5 Adhika S. 2 years ago on Google
    It's my first experience staying in hostel boat and I quite like it. Although the room was too small for 2 people (and they only provided one chair so it was a bit hard when both my roommate and I needed to work), but the room was warm throughout the night and the outside view was just breathtaking. They provided a sharing kitchen area too, but I didn't have a chance to see how it was. The breakfast was simple and nice. The staffs were kind. Maybe a side note for travellers that haven't been to Stockholm: it's recommended to bring a backpack compared to a luggage because some roads from centralstation to hotel are made from uneven stone pavement where practically you'll need to carry the luggage almost all the way - no lift inside the boat as well.

  • 5/5 Hipolito P. 1 year ago on Google
    Super interesting place to stay close to downtown Stockholm and close to train stations. A boat converted to a hotel. Walk around and explore the hallways. Room, bathrooms and facilities were clean. Staff was friendly as well.

  • 3/5 Simon S. 11 months ago on Google
    Ein minimalistisch auf drei Schiffe aufgeteiltes Hotel. Die Einrichtung ist relativ alt und heruntergekommen. Dafür sind die Zimmer sauber. Falls man (wie wir) das Zimmer ohne Bad genommen hat, muss man sich mit vielen anderen Gästen gemeinsame Duschen und Toiletten teilen. Diese sind (besonders zu den Stoßzeiten) oft besetzt und nicht im besten Zustand. Eine der Duschen ist zu klein für durchschnittlich große Männer. Das Frühstück (exklusiv für 13 Kronen) war erstaunlich gut und für jeden ist etwas dabei. Das Personal war stets freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das beste am Hotel ist die Aussicht (siehe Fotos).

    Very nice Hostel on a Boat. The view is amazing and the personal at the reception gave us an upgrade to a nicer room for free because our room class was fully booked. We felt very comfortable but the street builders were a little loud and in the morning the room heated up because of the sun. All in all we had a nice stay and if we come back to Stockholm this is a good option for us!

  • 5/5 Jamie K. 9 months ago on Google
    What a great experience to stay on a boat in Stockholm. If you're looking for luxury accommodation this isn't for you but the rooms were perfect for sleeping except for guests slamming the doors and gate - not Rygerfjord's fault but maybe they could get a soft close for the gate and external doors. There was a perfectly good kitchen/dining area with fridges and a massive freezer if you are self catering PLUS the end of the dock between boats 2 and 3 provides the best water view of Stockholm.

  • 5/5 Matthew 8 months ago on Google
    For the price, this was an excellent place to stay. Perfect location with great views across the water. Comfortable, unpretentious rooms - in need of some TLC, but no problematically. Friendly staff.

  • 2/5 Sue J. 9 months ago on Google
    Really wanted to like this place but it doesn’t feel like a nice hotel experience even though I had private room, not dorm. First - my bed had a dead bug inside the blankets so they switched my room. The stool inside is so uncomfortable and nowhere to put luggage. Beware there are few small spiders all over the rooms and ships. Second - the ship alarm will randomly go off at night disturbing everyone! This can happen more than once a week. Third - you’re not allowed to use the dinning room or open top area as a hotel guest because they want you to pay for the restaurant/bar. Also kitchen is on another boat which you need to request key everytime. Fourth - Not sure what it is but I got allergic reaction on my skin. I’m usually never allergic to anything besides pollen but that’s just sneezing. I had developed rash after I checked in and doctor said it’s a skin allergy to something. I did not change anything else in my skincare or routine. Staff was friendly but way overpriced and desperately in need of major cleaning.

    We had a great overstay at this place. The hotel is close to the city center. Room and bathrooms were clean and tidy, quiet place. This was my first time spending a night on a boat and I absolutely loved it. The view was just stunning and there were some benches in front of the boat to sit and enjoy the view. I highly recommend this place. ;)

  • 5/5 Rafał G. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely hotel with beautiful view and decent breakfast. I was in superior cabin and it wasn't that small plus was clean enough. Double bed is comfy and comfortable for a couple. Windows are big and offer outstanding view. You are able to use a shared kitchen which offers enough fridge space.

  • 4/5 Molly I. 11 months ago on Google
    Clean rooms, nice staff, that just leave you to it. Shared bathrooms are lovely and clean. Fabulous views of Stockholm!! And a really close location to everything 20 min max walking distance to most things but great views on the walk it's worth it. Also lost of electric scooter around. Sunset on the Dock is wonder. Got a few stairs in and out the boat we stayed in not sure about the other ones.

  • 4/5 Patty P. 1 year ago on Google
    It's safe, clean, convenient location close to public transportation, you can order breakfast, and it also has a bar suitable for unwinding before bed. The only downside it’s you can hear people walking around and closing doors, you can listen to the next room to you, which it’s not pleasant if they are drunk or just too noisy, but I guess that’s typical saying in a boat, it comes with the choice.

  • 5/5 Margo B. 10 months ago on Google
    We had an economy 2 persons room with shared bathroom in the beginning of june. The room was small but the view was very nice. You had a small bed above a bigger bed. We could sleep perfect together in the bigger lower bed. The shared bathrooms were not bussy. The location was perfect! There was a shared kitchen that was always very clean, but there were only two cooking pots and two pans. There are two big fridges and a big freezer. There is also a nice outside place with many tables. There are three boats. Our room and the kitchen are located on boat 3. Boat 1 is the nice one. I think the smallest two-persons rooms are on the nice boat, but don’t have windows, but have nice sit places on the deck.

  • 5/5 V 10 months ago on Google
    Great value for the experience of being on a boat. The facility was clean, quiet and in a location close to everywhere I went. It is a 10 minute walk to the metro station which was a breeze because the scenery along the walk is breathtaking. The only downside for me is that the restrooms were a very tight space. However this was not a deal breaker because my room had a sink and mirror which made it easy to get ready for the day. If you're looking for a luxurious experience, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for comfort on a budget with spectacular views and lounging spaces, this is perfect.

  • 5/5 Martin Z. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice place for few days stand. First night we heard some strange noise which complicated our sleep. Next day, after complaining staff acted and changed our room for new one. If you want low price, good dinner and sleeping on boat. This place is definitely for you.

  • 4/5 Andie R. 1 year ago on Google
    I have stayed at the Rygerfjord a couple of times now. It is a very cute and cozy hostel with clean bathrooms and showers. My first stay was fantastic, however, my second stay I was placed in a room next to a bathroom and beneath the front door on the main boat. After a bad night of sleep, I was switched to a new room by the wonderful staff. All in all, a fantastic place to stay so long as you get the right rooms.

  • 5/5 Ivana Nedjic (Ивана �. 1 year ago on Google
    A unique experience that is recommended to try at least once in a lifetime. The compactness may take some getting used to, but the room is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay if you're just looking for a place to rest and freshen up. And it's one of the best views from a hotel room I've ever had. It may not be suitable if you plan on spending a lot of time in the room to work, for example. They have a late check-in option, just ring the bell next to the door, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. It's especially worth it if you're traveling alone, and my room was perfect for one person. Although it's not spacious, it's perfectly suitable for sleeping for a few nights, and the cleanliness is impressive. Plus, there's always a common area and restaurant if you need more space. P.S. the WiFi works perfectly.

  • 5/5 Matteo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place to stay for the night! The staff is very nice and friendly, the view form the room is superb, priced accordingly to the services! There’s also a bar in one of the boats if you want to have a drink while immersing into the view of Stockholm at night! 10/10

  • 5/5 Emma M. 1 year ago on Google
    Rygerfjord Hotel has been a really good accomodation for our holidays! The room was a boat cabin and it's comfortable. Common restroom and shower always clean. The breakfast buffet is abundant and yummy. The position is strategic, 'cause its just 7 min by walk away Glam Stan station. Thank you Chris for your hospitality, you're a very friendly person! Hope to come here again!

  • 3/5 VT 1 year ago on Google
    Nice concept if you want something a bit different! People seemed nice, it was calm and easy, slept well. Most affordable place if you want a room just for yourself. Shower area was dusty and the floor was very cold, but warm water so it was fine.

  • 5/5 Jan K. 1 year ago on Google
    It was by far the cheapest option on booking so we didn't expect anything amazing. Despite that, the room (342 - top floor on the 3rd boat) was pretty big, modern and clean, the bathrooms were really big, clean and nice to be in and the breakfast (10€ per day per person) was also ok. The location is really amazing because you can see the old town directly from the windows from the bathroom and the main ship during breakfast. I would recommend staying in this hotel 10/10.

  • 5/5 Mykhailo G. 4 years ago on Google
    It is well worth it to book a room with the lake view - what you will see from the window each morning and evening is unmatchable. The boat also has its own pier with chairs and tables. The rooms are small but nice and clean, and so are the bathrooms. While the bathrooms are shared, we never had to wait for them during the three times we stayed here. There is also a well equipped kitchen. This is definitely our favourite place to stay in Stockholm!

  • 3/5 CuriousAlex 1 year ago on Google
    We've been here last year. If you want to stay for a night then go for it. Expect a hostel-experience even if you booked something better. Our experience was a bit smelly (bathroom, toilettes) and did not have a lot of privacy (windows faced a sitting area; others the dock; curtains did not completely covered the windows). The pictures and descriptions are somewhat misleading. Location and price are great though - hence the three stars. For us, staying here was a one-time thing.

  • 4/5 Susanne le C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice hostel for a nice price. Enough bathrooms and toilets and a nice location! Only a bit noisy.

  • 3/5 Thibaut D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap hostel (compared to Stockholm prices) so that’s great. But the room got no window we could open, the air was moist, we didn’t get access to the common kitchen…
