Price for the night train from Stockholm to Malmo?
 
Does anyone know what the additional cost of a 2-bed compartment on the night train between Malmo and Stockholm is now? I can't find any site that lists prices for this. Rick Steves estimates the basic 2nd-class ticket at $100. Does this seem right?
Has anyone done this?

Swedish night trains, if booked in US thru Raileurope seem to cost about $150 per person in a double, rail fare and sleeping accommodation included. A double deluxe is $300 per person. these include private shower, toilet, buffet dinner and breakfast. If you have any questions i'd call BETS, a RailEurope agent that i highly recommend for their expertise in booking such trains (800-441-2387) the night train doesn't run on Sat nights.

Thanks, PalQ, that doesn't sound too bad. I expected it to actually be more than that. I'll try your recommendation.

I ended up asking Euraide about this cost. They advise that the trip 2nd class is 110 euro plus probably 75 euro per person for the compartment. This would end up being something like $480 for two people on the night train based on an exchange of 1.30 (which is low I think). I don't know who is right. I haven't called BETS at RailEurope yet.
