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.

Super nice experience, cozy atmosphere, very clean, very warm rooms in cold winter. Kind and helpful staff. Cheap prices for good quality! Beds are a bit small but good enough for short term accommodation. Highly recommend!

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.

Very cool place to stay. I had a hostel room, very affordable. And the breakfast buffet was excellent! Being able to sit on the bow of the ship to enjoy the morning coffee was a plus

I am very happy with my stay at the red boat. The location is perfect. We can see the boat the moment that we leave the metro station. The old town is few minutes walking. The view is amazing. Personal welcoming and happy to assist.

A room on the boat is really fun and it is located conviniently near the city centre. And, the prices are very competitive.

Very good location, walkable to the Gamla Old town and train. The view from the boat is spectacular especially at sunset and night time.
Breakfast at the boat is reasonable price. The Thai restaurant on a boat next door is convenient and their food is so good.
My one and only complaint was the smell in one of our rooms. We rented two rooms.

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! 😉

Good location. The boat didn’t rock either which was a plus!
Do bring ear plugs as the doors slam loud.
The single bed room I stayed in wouldn’t be suitable for anyone over 6ft.
Lovely stay.

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.

This place is such a gem! The location is great. It’s an easy and quick walk to Gamla Stan. The rooms are very cozy; I loved listening to the rain on the water. We shared a shower/bathroom with others on our floor and it was clean, no issues there. Breakfast is worth the price and the dinner options are yummy. We also had a great time talking to the front desk staff each night. They were very sociable!
