Comfortable room. Good breakfast. (Just be aware that if you don’t pay for the sea view you are looking over a rather dilapidated building (not a nice garden) )

Seaview was a small window. Walls are very thin. If you value sleep maybe try somewhere else. Room was ok size and shower had great pressure but shower head was broken so we can to wedge it ensure water stayed on us. No brewing stuff in the room, you have to ask for hot water. Breakfast plenty of choice and staff were friendly.

The hotel was in a great location for us by the Marina, but it was very tired. Our room was a family room on the top floor and it was very basic, quite hostel-like and unloved, but the bed was comfortable. Views from the breakfast room windows were lovely, but the breakfast itself was quite disappointing. Not helped by the fact the staff were tidying up around us, long before the time slot had finished. We probably would use the hotel again, but that would only be out of convenience.

Yes, the view is outstanding, although there is a renovation project underway along all the the harbor, so the construction blocks some access to the harbour front.

Great hotel for its location but appears to have seen better days. Tv didn’t work and bed sheets had stains pointed these out on arrival but neither were fully addressed. Reception staff v pleasant. Room was only cleaned once during 5 night stay. Not great value for money but location for ferry and activities excellent.

The hotel was OK it's in a great location and the staff were very nice. The breakfast room had a fantastic view over the harbour. However, the family rooms are stuck up on the 3rd floor without lift access & under the eves of the building. The space for a family of 4 with luggage was totally inadequate and the headroom meant that for people of average height either you regularly banged your head or spent your time bent over in half. Finally, our room was next to the air vent so was noisy & smelled of fried food.

This is a very unique little hotel sitting directly on the main Vaxholm ferry terminal. The building itself is historic (so, naturally, old) and no-frills, but it was clean, well-kept, and charming, and the staff were very friendly and responsive. I enjoyed sitting on my patio and looking out at the boats. The breakfast buffet had everything one could want. It felt very safe, as well.

Good, but not great

The hotel is close to the boat to Stockholm and close to many shops and restaurants, which is great. The staff was very polite, friendly and helpful. The room was cozy, with a great view to the harbour. It could have been a tad bit cleaner (especially the shower curtain), but overall good enough. The big downside, was all the noise. First from a local consert (the windows shivered) and then from the restaurant until 01 in the night. Which would be great to know about when checking in. The breakfast was decent enough, not too much, but they had waffles! I also heartily recommend their restaurant Verandan for a nice dinner with a stunning view! Overall; decent hotell on a great island.

The hotel is fairly nice, and should be a classy, tasteful place - but at nighttime it's very NOISY because the bar on the first floor operates until 0100 (at least...) with very loud rock music played at high volume. For both nights of my stay I had throbbing rock thumping in my room and I could not sleep until 0200. On Sunday morning it was only quiet for 5 HOURS 0200-0700. The staff arrived to set up breakfast and started playing loud music again! Another weird thing: there's a bar on the ground floor that's closed but the same music plays on speakers in the street full blast: it must be hell for the neighbours as well as the guests with rooms above. I do not understand the service ethos of this hotel. It felt like the bar was more important than the hotel guests, and that if you asked them to respect the hotel guests' right to a decent night's sleep they would ignore you. I had a miserable weekend here. Other problems: in a room that cost 3500 SEK/283 UKL/325 EUR per night, you would expect a safe, tea and coffee-making facilities and bottles of water: there were none of these basic amenities. We expected the housekeeping to make up the room at least once on the weekend and they failed to do so (we left the 'Please make up the room' tag on the door, a waste of time). The breakfast was okay. The dining room's kitchen was slow, but produced amazing food and the service was fairly attentive although the wait staff were embarrassed by the slow kitchen.
