The staff were incredibly helpful. As a solo female traveller from across two continents, I felt welcome and safe. The staff helped me with directions and booking cabs. The location is fantastic, with the Gamla Stan metro station located a stone's throw away. The rooms are charming even as the washrooms are common. The location is absolutely breath-taking. Quite close to Central Station, but more of a walk than to Gamla Stan. Highly recommended.
I liked pretty much everything.

Location is superb! Staff is really friendly and accommodating. I went with my friend and since were out all day we just needed a place to crash and honestly im really happy we picked this place. the bathrooms and showers are shared but somehow we never had to wait to use it - even at 9-10pm there was no queue. the room was clean and the space is enough for 2! Additionally - outside the rooms is very beautiful upstairs where the reception is and the dining area. decorated very nicely.
There were several occasions where neighbours would slam the door so loud it felt like the walls were shaking and it woke us up a few times early in the morning. As we didn't get the breakfast, we would usually sleep in until around 10am and the door slamming starts at around 7-8am. Occasionally maybe once or twice after midnight. Other than that - the hotel is great for a short stay!

The staff are super kind, friendly and helpful. The boat has a lot of character, and the public lounges are great spaces to relax and enjoy its atmosphere. The location is perfect and very convenient for Old Town and transport links.
It can be noisy, i.e. it's easy to hear your neighbours. This is down to the fact it's a repurposed boat, and there's only limited ways they can alter the construction. The staff try to mitigate this with a clear noise policy, and are very willing to speak to people if they aren't following it, so they're doing all they can.

I really loved the atmosphere, the old design and the decorations. Normally I book hotels just for overnight stays, but this one I chose for the experience. I slept very well and the view was amazing, even though the window was quite dirty. Breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. One should be aware that it is a boat – so it moves with the waves, even when the water seems almost still. The boat is kept in place with old car tires pressing against the quay, and the creaking noises can be heard at times, which some people might find disturbing.
You can hear a lot from the neighboring cabins, there are only shared bathrooms and toilets, and the bunk beds can be a bit challenging for people who aren’t so flexible anymore. Still, I slept very well and would definitely choose it again, because this hotel is not just for staying overnight but for the special experience. I did city hopping through Scandinavia, and this was the hotel I was most looking forward to.

Staying on a boat was huge fun and the staff were really friendly. The deck area has lovely views over Stockholm and nice chairs to enjoy a drink. The breakfast was lovely and we loved the decor of the public areas. The room was small but we knew to expect that, and it was clean. Shared showers were fine. It's a great location - great views - and also a convenient 10 min walk from the old town. Would happily go back!
Nothing really! Stockholm is an expensive place so it's worth putting up with shared showers and a small room to pay a bit less. There is a road just by the boat - but it wasn't too noisy, and we carefully chose a room on the water side of the boat not the land side, so we didn't notice it at all.

location: - very well situated, max 10 min walk from Gamla Stan - close to 2 great sunset-view spots - close to a road, but it didn't matter a thing (even though we had windows on that side): no noticeable noise room: - bigger than we thought - had a lot of storage space - clean and the air was not stuffy when we came in - not a speck of dust on the floor - 4 light sources: overhead, 2x bedside, on the parapet - 2 electric outlets - provided us with towels - rubbish bin in the room - internet worked surprisingly well all around the boat and below deck bathroom: - impeccably clean, no smell, no humidness - soap and hand disinfectant provided - hot (and cold) water in the showers and taps: regulated temperature deck: chairs and tables for late night city-gazing baggage: free baggage storage (!!!) check-in: no problems here

If you’re looking for something unique and a bit quirky, THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED!! We absolutely loved it! We stayed in a “hotel boat room” with private bathroom rather than the hostel boat. It was quite small and you could say the furnishings were dated, but to us it was all in keeping with the character of the boat and it only added to the experience! It was clean, cozy, comfortable and warm even when it was -10 outside. 100% would stay here again! If I can give you one tip… pay for the breakfast, it was amazing and very good value for money! The host was super friendly and welcoming.

The uniqueness of this accommodation alone was unforgettable! My group and I really didn't know what to expect but it seemed interesting so we decided to book and I'm glad we did. The boat you check in on is so cozy, we frequently hung out in the common area/lobby. We were on the second boat which was just cabins and the shared bathrooms. I was pleasantly surprised with the facilities and how it seemed all very well taken care of. Our cabin and the shared bathrooms were spotless! I was nervous about luggage storage because the cabins didn't seem too big in the pictures but the closet space they provide is enough for two large suitcases (and then some!). Wifi signal was great! The check in process was easy and all the staff members we interacted with were friendly. I felt safe on the boat as well with their security gates and locks for the cabins. Lastly, the location is superb. You can easily walk to Gamla Stan or the metro station to get around the city. I would highly recommend this unique accommodation!
Honestly, nothing!

Great place with lots of character. Quirky room. Excellent location. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Good value for money
The room could benefit from a deep clean. The double bed was up against the wall which was fine but we dropped something down the side and when we went to retrieve it we found a lot of dust and fluff and some food wrappers which was a little off putting. Also the curtains weren't hung properly so they were difficult to close. I spent a while rearranging the curtain hooks so they hung better. Just little attention to details like that make all the difference and don't cost anything to fix.

It was cute. Ok for 1 night.
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
