I throughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It is close to the central rail station and the main city sights.

Breakfast was excellent.

Pros:

Perfect for the solo traveler. Rooms are small but comfortable. Just a five minute walk to the metro station and five minute walk to Gamla Stan. There is no traffic or nearby bars so the nights are super quiet. The breakfast buffet is included for all guests. There is a good variety on the buffet. My favorite was the Swedish pancakes. The staff at the 24-hour reception were helpful with advice and I made use of the handy water station by the door. I did not detect any rocking in my room even on a stormy night. And, lastly, what a great opportunity to spend time in a historic boat.

Staff was extremely nice. Views were good. Restaurant/bar was excellent. Biggest issue was there was a slight smell in the bathroom and the room had no real HVAC (it was cold).

I was forced to go get other hotel room of course on my experience! They didn’t get list on apologize! They are a scammers!

Pros:

Very disappointed with this property. I was so excited to stay in a 101 year old ship and Gamla Stan, but upon arriving in the rain late at night we couldn’t access the building using the “aeroguest” app we were told to download to make things easier and skip going to the reception in the restaurant/bar. One of us had to stand outside in the rain with all the luggage while the other ran up to get real keys, which presented an issue and required a manager. We get to our room, a tiny bunk bed options for $245 a night, and we’re immediately hit with the unpleasant smell of rot. Within minutes we noticed the port hole window was leaking from the rain and pooling cups of water that was then running down the wall onto the desk we sat our purses on. We had to utilize our shower towels to stop the flooding. We enjoyed drinks at the bar with a pleasant bartender, however when he asked how the room was and we mentioned the flooding and using our towels to stop it he said “there’s nothing I can do about that.” He didn’t even offer new towels to shower. We went to bed but were unable to get any sleep because the cabin doors kept slamming shut through out the night at all hours. Then by 9am the cleaning crew started vacuuming the hall, slamming the vacuum into the front of the doors. I finally gave up trying to sleep and got up for breakfast around 10am but it was difficult to find a clean table. Dirty dishes/cups were left everywhere and I had to clean off a table by moving dishes.

Pros:

Excellent stay here with a friend. We had the double with Sea View. Spend the extra money for sea view. The double is really a bunk bed which works out fine for two friends. The room and bathroom are very small as you would expect. Very clean. Plenty of places on the board to relax. Incredible deck for drinks, very unique place. Don’t stay here if you want the Hilton. Stay here for the experience. Great breakfast. Great value for money overall

Pros:

The location was great - very easy walk to the old town. Breakfast was fabulous. Plenty of options for sitting inside and out. Do not expect any early checkin but they have a luggage room available. Take note that there are very narrow stairs with no elevator. The rooms can get stuffy but they did provide a fan. Rooms were very quiet. We would definitely stay here again.
