The staff were all very helpful and so nice. A truly unique experience. There is no air conditioning, but we kept our windows open 24/7 and had brought small portable fans that worked great.

Super cute and unique place to stay! The beds and bedding were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The doors between people’s rooms are a bit on the thinner side, so if the people across the hall are jerks that play music in their room at midnight, you will hear it. I would still stay here again happily.

Good hearty breakfast for a reasonable cost. No problems with access to showers & toilets, even though shared. Rooms are a little stuffy, but a fan is provided for use and you can open the window at night to get fresh air. Nautical theme is intriguing to look at in all the communal rooms.

Our time at the red boat was great! Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The location was amazing , overlooking Stockholm made for some terrific views. Room could use some curtains on the windows given there's so much sunlight in the day when we visited Stockholm but otherwise a very cool and unique venu, would 100% do it again.

Stunningly comfortable, clean, and warm. Extremely quiet little corner of the harbor, and with great common spaces where you can hang out and mingle, or sit off in silence and work.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Fun place to stay—it’s exactly what it sounds like: cabins on a small boat, so these are not the most spacious rooms, but it is an enjoyable stay regardless. It is very close to the train station, walkable from the hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful (and funny!) I would absolutely stay here again the next time I come to Stockholm.
