The room is a very simple crew cabin in an actual old timey fishing type boat ( think "Deadliest Catch" or "The Perfect Storm", parked right on corner of Riddarfjarden Bay, perfectly located between Galma Stan ( Old Town, historical tourist area, tour boat docks ), and Sodermalm ( hip, young area with restaurants, night life, shopping ). Insane view of Stockholm from the any of the decks, at any time, day or night.

The Red Boat is very unique and the service was great! We really enjoyed our stay. Shared bathroom facilities were kept clean. It is difficult to access rooms for those with limited mobility due to the ramp up to the boat with rooms and then the narrow spiral staircase down to the rooms. So can be difficult to manage with suitcases vs backpacks.

The property is a boat, and that is unique and cool. I had a room with a private bath and shower wich were small but fine. The negative is the location of the boat. There is a very busy street/highway in front of the property and it's not easy to walk to attractions.

Lack of appropriate toilet facilities was a massive issue had one toilet for a whole boat which the only access is down a stair case and round the corner which is only accessible from the outside.

The boat was clean and cool however i wouldnt really recomend because its very hard to get to (hills and steep stairs ) no public transport other than very expensive taxi to even get to the bus stop (20 canadian ) maybe it would be different in summer when you didnt have to drag a suitcse in sjow and ice on a steep hill. The boat you stay on is one behind the main one, it has a very narrow and steep wodden platform with just ropes to keep you from potentially falling or dropping your bag in the water. U have to stand on it to put the code in the door so its not like u just quickly pass by it. The main boat has a great ramp eith proper railing. Very cute but i csnt recomend this unless you dont have a lot of stuff with you and ate compleatly able boddied.

My partner and I stayed at this property for 3 nights. Upon arrival, everything seemed okay, but we were told that we would be on the boat behind. Not an issue. We were also told that breakfast was 99 SEK per person, per day, and decided to buy breakfast passes for us both for the days that we would be there. When we got to our room, we noticed it was small - two single beds, and not really any space for belongings (there were a few hooks, and some space under the bed). There were shared toilets and showers upstairs, again, small but okay. After the first night, we noticed that the room was wet. The ceiling was wet, the floor, and I believe it was condensation. The windows (portholes) did open, but it is November, and it was freezing. There was no ventilation for the condensation, so the floors, walls and ceiling were wet. Not a great start. We went down for breakfast (on the other boat), and this was absolutely fine. A selection of bread, meats, cheese, vegetables, fruit, yoghurt, etc. Plenty of choice for all. The walls for the rooms are paper thin. You will hear everything, and people will come home drunk at 4am and wake you up. There is no staff to police this, so good luck. Because of the noise, damp and condensation, my partner and I are leaving Stockholm tired and ill. I would not recommend staying here at all. Find somewhere cheaper

The Red Boat is a very unique place to stay in Stockholm, but it is not fancy or comfortable. It is an easy walk to Gamla Stan and the metro. The rooms are very small and basic, the bathrooms and showers are also very basic - more like a hostel than a hotel. We loved the breakfast option, with yummy food and a charming dining room setting. The staff was kind and helpful. We would not stay here again, it was pretty expensive for what you get.

The place was OK for the price we paid. If you want to experience the boat/cabin stay, then its recommended. The rooms/cabins are small as its on the boat. The breakfast (10 USD per person) was good. The place is 10 min walk from the closest metro station, and walkable (15 mins) to old town and the view around the boat is amazing. Lot of dining options close by
