It's very interesting to stay in a beautiful boat.

People easily prone to the slightest form of motion sickness should be aware that some movement is inevitable due to the river waves. Nevertheless, the waves aren't that frequent or strong, just something to know before-hand. Otherwise, a pretty good location and a definitive atmosphere to explore Stockholm!

The view from the deck on the boats is amazing as you look right back across the city. The only problem is that you have to walk across the bridge all the time to get to the city as the boat is not on the city side of the harbour. This is fine if you leave in the morning and dont come back till night. Also, there is a busy road along the boat, so if you are not on the harbour side, you need to wait till late before the noise dies down. Overall, i would recommend this for the experience if you can overcome some of these smaller things.

The bunks in the 4 bed berths are pretty small. There is about 60cm between the top bunk and the roof and the beds are barely 2 foot wide. The 10 bed dorm beds were much bigger. Other than that it was ok.

Very nice atmosphere, nice staff, ok breakfast, cozy public spaces. A place where lots of people felt like sitting around at night playing cards etc.

Really good location, breakfast is decent. Rooms are really small so prepare to really like your travelmates. Or hate. Because there are so few bathrooms (at least on the white boat), it was a bit of a crush at the bathroom around 8.

Having read a few negative reviews I was concerned this would not be a good place to stay, but am pleased to say I had a great time. Superb location 400m from Stockholm Old Town, and my cabin had great views from teh porthole. OK, the cabins are a bit small, but this is a boat! Just imagine you are on a tramp steamer cruising round Scandinavia. Showers are basic, but clean. You have to pay extra if you want the Breakfast. The only big negative I would give is the lack of lockers, but there is keypad code access to the boat and keys to your room. Overall it wins on its charm and excentricity, even if it is not the most luxurious of hostels. Ahoy shopmates, head for the Red Boat
