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.

It was a great boat with beautiful sunrise views over the water and comfy beds. Super centrally located between all the touristy spots. You can easily walk to a lot of the major areas of Stockholm from here. You’re right across the bridge from old town and down the hill from the hipster cafes and restaurants of Södermalm. There’s also quite a nice sauna on the river with a cold plunge that is a 2 minute walk from the boat. You’ll get a discount to the sauna as a hotel guest.

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.

Room 16 was a single twin bed with a small window looking over the water and a small side table and chair. Across the narrow hall was a large shower room (no toilet, which was at the other end). Didn’t have to wait for toilet or shower. There was a single dispenser in the shower for shampoo/wash. The heater didn’t work but they brought a space heater which warmed up great. I checked in at their sister ship around 2AM and instructions were easy. Didn’t have breakfast but it looked great. No issues with noise. Great location to catch public transport and grab a bite. Great value, would stay again.

The boats were so cozy and comfortable, and everything was beautifully clean. We were made to feel at home from the moment we checked in. And if you’re lucky enough to have a cabin that faces the water, the view is extraordinary.

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.
