    It’s a hostel basically, with shared showers and toilets. I had no problem with it but some other travelers may not like this arrangement so just bear that in mind.

    Location. Value for money. Staff very nice and obliging. Character of living on a converted boat just opposite the old city.

    Den röda båten was a great place to stay. We slept well in a cozy, clean room with a great view over the waters and to the city. It was very calming experience even though it's located next to Södermal and is only a bridge walk away from old town. Breakfast was good and staff very pleasant helping with all our questions and requests. I do recommend, great value and experience for the money, we are definitely coming back!

    nothing- maybe a hair dryer in the communal shower room would be good

    It was very close to Gamla stan, felt safe walking back and forth on my own. Room was basic but nice and warm. Easy check in with good helpful staff and easy luggage storage

    The shower room flooded due to slow drainage! Also the beds were quite uncomfortable with a very thin mattress.

    Very good location, only a few mins walk from Gamla stan station and picturesque view from cabin window over the lake. The wifi connection was strong and reception staff were friendly.

    There was very little place to store your belongings, and there was no garbage can in or near the cabin.

    Everything was very clean, and the bed was comfortable as hell. The view from the terrace and the area were were perfect. The receptionist was exceptionally helpful and friendly.

    Well, captain's shower wasn't posh or even comfortable.

    We've had the Captain's Room, and we really liked it. It was clean, the bed was large and comfy, there is a tiny wardrobe and a bathroom in the room, as well as the facilities to make tea. Quirky enough, I could feel the boat rocking a little, it was fun to me. Also breakfast was good (nothing exquisite but enough to have a hearty meal).

    Can't beat the price for the location

    • Economy Cabin on Boat (2 Adults)

    Listen: you're sleeping on a boat. There'll be tradeoffs. Your room is the size of a crew cabin: a bunk bed takes up half the space (you can put your luggage underneath it) the other half has a table and a low bench, and just enough space for you to turn around. The room is really mostly there as a place to sleep, for everything else there's the charming commons area where you can sit down with a laptop or a book. Oh, you'll hear neighbors snore. But these aren't negatives, really – it's to be expected when you're staying on a ship-converted-to-hotel. Just don't be surprised.

    Can't beat the price for this location. The receptionist was friendly and spoke perfect English (I mean… Sweden.) The commons area is charmingly furnished, the place has a lot of soul. Didn't try the breakfast, but I hear it's good. The room is small but they put a mirror on the wall so you can feel there's more space. The bed was extremely comfortable. Like, I was positively surprised how well did I sleep there. It is adequately heated (it was February in Stockholm, outside was cold.) The bathrooms are shared, but they were perfectly clean whenever I used them.

    The booking made it seem like breakfast was an amenity but you do have to pay for it. It’s 105 SEK for a breakfast that didn’t look overwhelmingly good. I was a little disappointed that they wanted us to pay extra for it.

    The location is great! 20 minute walk from central station and close to a lot of attractions!

    Showers and bathrooms long way from rooms. Walls paper thin as many say. But it's no worse than a lot of Hostels that charge much more.

    Insanely cheap for central Stockholm and the nearest bar is Akkurat.
