This isn't as cheap as other city breaks in Europe but it's a good bargain for staying in some great accommodation which I've stayed in myself. There are oodles of cheaper options if you are happy to share a bathroom but the reason I've priced this hotel is (a) it's got rooms with private bathrooms (b) it's a yacht and is really nice - it also has a sauna onboard and (c) it includes breakfast which is really nice and saves you spending money on food and in Stockholm this can quickly add up.The yacht is in a central location and we walked with luggage from the station.
Flights £59.96
Yacht Hotel £103.03 use code 3CTB15 and go through TCB for another £3ish off.
Bus transfers can be booked online with Flybussarna and is 556 SEK (around £43 for two).
Total is £205.99/£102.50pp (less with TCB).

Stockholm is a very nice city, there is plenty to do there. 90% of the people speak English, so you don't have to worry about any issues which may arise in that sense. The people are also very friendly (on the whole) and everything is reasonably priced (unlike Oslo). Transport is also very good, and you do not have to necessarily have to hire a car, there are cheap and frequent buses to the city centre. At this price, Stockholm is well worth a visit.

Thanks for sharing OP and reindeer333
I am going to Stockholm with a friend at the end of November just for one night (connecting flight) and as you've been before any tips on fun things to do? We are going to visit Gamla Stan and the Kings House for sure - tips from anyone else familiar are welcomed

Thanks to its insane policy of mass Muslim migration Sweden now has the highest rape figures in Europe and the second highest in the world. What was once a paradise is fast becoming hell on earth. Parts of the city are now no go zones for the Police and it's a real mess.
Sweden is a country best avoided now, no matter how good a deal is.

What's the price for just 1 person?

Well the flight would be half, as would the transfer but I don't think they do rooms for just one person so you could have to buy a room for two or plenty of hostels in Stockholm to check out. Some are boat hostels too with shared bathrooms, e.g Red Boat.

So the boat is just a hotel and doesn't go anywhere? The entrance to the harbour in Stockholm (from 5 hours out!) is awesome. Very picturesque.
Stockholm is definitely worth a visit.

The VASA museum was pretty cool and we did a free walking tour which was fun and they gave us some tips on cheap places to eat. We didn't go into the ABBA musem but if you like them it could be an option I guess... We did the overnight train to Gallivare (Swedish Lapland). Trains in Sweden very good.
