The Red Boat

It was good

I didn’t even stay there. I let the go the 3 night I paid for because the place was not at my standard. It was a wrong decision for me. Is not worth it for me.

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.

Really enjoyed our stay! We 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.

The room and the bathrooms were clean. Staff was helpful.

César was very helpful and friendly.

Very friendly & funny staff, the coziest lobby I've ever sat and read in, and a great time all around! I will never be the same after sitting for an hour or two, listening to the rain gently patter outside as I read a an old book and drank a Mariestads in the soft glow of the lamps. My wife and I stayed in the captain's cabin and loved it. Great sleep, good shower, and very clean cozy accomodations.

Great location, excellent breakfast deal

Clean room,

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.

A historic boat run part a cafe, hostel, no-strings hotel. Some things come with that territory. The location is absolutely stunning. From the small open deck or the dining area … scenic vistas of central Stockholm to savor. The “street level” of “main” (red) boat is expertly decorated in a nautical theme. You can imagine yourself on a classic sailing vessel. The lower level of the same boat, much more utilitarian. Down still lovingly decorated stairs, a narrow corridor with bunk rooms on both sides and WCs at the end. Those showers/toilets are shared by the whole boat … and often occupied, especially at breakfast and bedtime. Hard to tell when locked so you keep getting interrupted by people jiggling the handle. The rooms … are basic. Below the water line, so the windows are small recessed slits. You can peak or shove a camera in there, but otherwise a narrow vision over water or at the quay. (I think the rooms on the other boat have the better views.) As basic it is, my room had a convenient bench on the water-side, a comfortable bunk with lots of storage underneath, a table and a fragile stool. A pleasant surprise were the plentiful outlets – six by my count. Breakfast was a good if standard. Staff was helpful. One thing to be aware of, despite transit maps showing Line 405 stopping nearby, and nice bus stops, it isn’t running now perhaps due to the Slussen rebuild, and staff knew nothing about it. To reach transit is a long walk to Slussen, hard w/ bags, and stairs.

Shower was a bit small for my big back. Walking distance to gamla stan. Close to subway. Great photos. Breakfast was good.

Our room was small but they do offer luggage storage if you want to unpack more, and have more room. Beds were comfortable. Bit more noise from being on sidewalk side. Shared bathrooms were always available. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was really nice and worth paying for. Would stay again but would pay for one of the rooms with private bathroom as someone who has to go early in the morning! 😉

Staff is great and boat is funky, but it’s a boat: tight quarters, stuffy air, and, yes, it rocks a lot. If you’re prone to seasickness (like me) I do not recommend. If not, it’s fun for a couple of nights…no more.

I stayed in the admiral cabin which is the biggest room on the boat. The red boat featured on the booking is not the actual boat we stayed on, the cabin in located on a white boat next to the red boat. The cabin has amazing views and I liked it had its own shower and toilet. I slept really well in the twin (pushed together into a double) bed. The cabin has a tv, large wardrobe and coffee making facilities. Over all, I really enjoyed my one night stay here. Their could be noise issue if the cabins above were occupied by noisy guests as the cabin isn’t soundproof and people moving around the boat can be heard throughout the cabin.

Great value and walking distance to most sites ...awesome staff

Shared bathroom facilities were kept mostly clean. Other guests could be very noisy though. I spent a week here and my room was never turned over, nor was my towel ever replaced.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy check in. Nice breakfast. Great location. I enjoyed my stay.

A unique experience worth to be lived
