You know I know Stockholm, Fnaar!

There's this:

http://www.hotelformule1.com/formule1/fichehotel/gb/for/3065/fiche_hotel.shtml

It's basic but simple and clean, with an adequate breakfast and not too far from the city centre.

What's your budget? I can find some more for you.

For something different, try the Malardrottningen Boat Hotel. My girlfried has stayed there a couple of times and is well pleased with it, although the rooms are a touch small.

Or browse through this list at your leisure!

Thanks Dayvo ... will look through the links later when I get a mo'...
Budget = the cheaper the better, without sleeping under a bridge or sharing a room with tramps! It's just for 1 night, before an early morning ferry to Finland....

before an early morning ferry to Finland....

Is that with Viking Line or Silja (thinking of location of hotel with regard to ferry terminal for early morning tube/taxi ride)?

@Dayvo, on a related note, how did you go about learning Swedish?

 

[Fnaar]

Mrs F has done the ferry booking, but I'm 99.9% certain it's Silja... much appreciated dayvo, btw... have a pint!

@Dayvo, on a related note, how did you go about learning Swedish?

I studied Scandinavian languages at UEA Norwich (Norwegian being my main language). Moved to Stockholm after graduating (my then girlfriend came from there) and improved by immersing myself in the language.

Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are similar to how English, Scottish and Irish would be if the latter two languages were written as they were spoken!

They aren't difficult to learn; far easier than French, German and Spanish.

When are you going to be in Stockholm? I'll be there twice at some stage in August - but that's probably as good a reason as any not to tell me!
