Interesting stay on a retired boat. We had two rooms, both facing the afternoon sun. This is probably a benefit in the winter, but it made the room unbearably hot in the summer. Also, it was a bit opportunistic that coffee is extra. Having said that, I got in 10,000steps each day before I got a good cup of coffee in the morning.

Beautiful view from the hotel. Wish they would have mentioned that there was construction on the exterior of the hotel while I was there. A lot of the scaffolding was blocking my window/view of the water.

A unique stay for us on a boat.. the room and bathroom was really clean. The pillows were tiny but did the job. It was so loud during the night banging doors and people being loud we had minimal sleep , no fault of the propertys though.

We booked the suite and we absolutely loved it! It has such an amazing view over Stockholm and even though it was cold and snowing outside, it was so lovely and warm on the boat. We didn't use the balcony much as it was so cold but would probably have used it a lot more if it was summer. Great value, lovely staff, convenient location and great to have a kitchen to use. Loved it 😊

A good stay for a strained budget

Stayed at boat no. 3 and it is in good shape. The other two boats are not refurbished as lately as no. 3 which of course affects the impression during the stay. The standard is more on par with what you will expect from a hostel than a hotel but as long you are aware of that it is a good stay. There where no issues regarding the stay and everything went smoothly

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We took a chance on this place based on the superior location, nearby parking and good recent reviews, but we ended up moving to another hotel after the first night and forfeiting what we had paid for the next three nights. Reviews are subjective but we were surprised that the reviews differed so much from our own experience. We had a room with sea view which basically became an oven in the summer warmth (in the summer it is probably better not to have the sea view). The sun shines directly into the room during the day, heating it up a lot, and the heat remains captured like in a green house because you can only open the window a tiny bit. Even when it is fresh outside, the room stays hot the whole night, despite a very noisy fan one can plug in. We have traveled all over the world and stayed in many warm places, but in this room (which is much smaller than a normal hotel room) we felt trapped and with practically no space to move. We woke up exhausted in the morning - from the heat and the noise of the fan - and promptly decided that it was not how we wanted to spend our time in Stockholm.

Good value small room

Cleanliness was very good. Room was nice and warm with radiators you could control. Great location and price. Bed was way too small. Curtains were tiny and thin and you had bright light shining into the room at night and the walls were very thin too so lots of noise.

Unfortunately it was not for us the pictures are very deceptive. The room was so small it was difficult for both of us to stand in the space at the same time. I will say we went too change rooms and the owner was very happy to help with that, but no other room was available. We didn’t stay we booked at another hotel for the same price which was a proper room and bathroom and a great view of the old town. If you are single and backpacking around Europe on the cheap then it will probably do but even then you can probably get better value somewhere else.

Everything was fine for me, staff did their best to be helpful. If you’re dead set on luxury- not for you. I’d like to note that as far as I’ve observed, it is unsuitable for children and people with limited mobility due to it being boats with somewhat difficult access and they do disclose on the fire hazards upon arrival.
