    Bathroom was pretty cramped. I'm only slightly above average height and I kept banging my hands on the ceiling in the shower😂

    Fun concept. Friendly staff. Simple access to room at all hours. Easy walk to Gamla Stan.

    The beds are not so wide, so it can get a bit uncomfortable during the night. The mattress are pretty good tho. We never figured out how to regulate the heating, at some point it would be cold in the room and later on you would wake up sweating because its so hot.

    Second time staying here, we really like the location of the boat. Easy to get to all the sightseeing spots. If you get a room on the water side you get a beautiful view, unfortunately we weren’t so lucky the second time around. The employees were nice and friendly for the check in and check out.

    The rooms are very small, but that is to be expected on a boat

    It was affordable and has everything you need if you're spending most of the day just walking around Stockholm. It is close to the subway.

    The room was very warm and little ventilation, but two fans were provided to compensate.

    Quirky! Great location, can’t beat the views. Metro station 5 minute walk away. Traditional features. Comfy beds and good shower. Tea and coffee in the room too. Good value breakfast.

    My only suggestions for improvement would be to add more counter space in the bathroom and/or a stool to put your clothes. One thing to note is that the surrounding neighborhood has wonderful cafes and shops, but you will need to go up stairs and walk uphill to reach them. It is quite far from the subway line, so this location may not be your best option if you have limited mobility or use any mobility devices.

    The entire facility was very clean. We stayed in a private room with a shared bathroom on the white boat and although small everything was well-maintained. The beds were very comfortable and a porthole that opened allowed us to have good air flow. We were on the seaside, so it was very quiet. Breakfast was delicious, it had boiled eggs, meats, breads, and sweets with delicious coffee to start the day. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made sure my room met my specific needs so I could travel with a medical device.

    Here are a few things that didn't work for me. 1- the breakfast. I bought just for 1 night to check it out. They mentioned it would have eggs but it was just hard boiled eggs nothing warm. It was very simple continental. Overpriced and not worth it. 2-it's better to stay colser to the island or downtown. Its not easy to be in and out and come back during the day cause its just not a convinient location 3- you cant bring your own wine to enjoy at the bow. They told us we had to buy it there. I get what they said that it was the law but as a paying guest of th eestablishment. I figured i was free to drink my own wine. I didnt like that 4- cabins have " thin walls' ppl talking and walking by are just disturbing in the night. even if they are supposed to be quiet hours, they just arent

    It was cute. Ok for 1 night.

    All in all, it was a good stay. Staff was very friendly, and the location is perfect and super central, breakfast is very good. Of course, there are the bunk beds in the small rooms and the shared bathrooms, but considering the location and being outside all day, it's perfectly fine.

    Very tiny rooms and facilities, and a bit uncomfortable bathroom space, but that was expected. Not for the fainthearted, as the entrances and hallways are narrow and small.

    Extremely good location. Room was cool and quiet in this period (spring). Very cosy and neat.

    The room is a bit tight, I could feel a little bit the movement of the ship to which I luckily got used to after some minutes. The bathroom is also tight, I had to really 'play' with the space provided. There were not enough plugs for charging everything.

    Great location, it is easily available from Gamla Stan (10 mins walking) but you can see the sunset and a beautiful view from the hills above of the ship. View from the window is amazing. Breakfast was delicious and with many options from cereals, sandwiches, toasts, ect. The bathroom is just enough for 1 person. You can really feel the atmosphere of sleeping in a cabin. Beds are comfortable and the heating is enough.

    Remove the old carpet in the rooms ! and refresh the paint in the room as well

    A FABULOUS Lobby/ bar/ room for leisure…THAT, is why I went. The staff was really helpful as well … the room ( although it is a ship, small room to expect… small window so not too much of a view… but to expect as well… small bed , but really comfortable… they need to change carpet ( they should just leave the wooden floor to fit with the ship anyway) in the Maine room, I don’t mind and even like the old carpet… it goes with the rustic look of the inside ( look like a movie set some how) And the white wall in the room… could need a refresh ( perhaps keep them all red to keep with the theme “as the doors do not look dirty)… not that it looks dirty… buuuut could need a refresher. The shower and bathroom area are ok( “shared, and no private bathroom” although private little stalls” not my cup of tea, but did for my one night stay ) and stay there for the ship experience and great public area. I would not bring my mom for sure . But if you like a specific experience… this could be a place to visit ( you need a specific taste and do not a “Hilton” type… you will be sooo disappointed… But if looo for something different… and goes with a open mind…you may just love it. If you don’t book… go definitely for a drink or meal. Location is great… although a tiny walk from the subway 8-10 minutes… easy walk and you see the ship so the distance doesn’t feel too bad… and the subway is at one of my favorite are of Stockholm:)
