Historical exclusive location, nice view, great for walks and enjoying the view of the ferries and boats coming and going. Breakfast was good, and shared bathrooms worked well and were clean. Room was very classic and with an interesting history.

the hotel is a bit isolated and hard to reach without a car, but it is very quiet and nicely situated. lots of facilities available, nice to take a walk around when good weather. friendly staff and good food. perfect when we want to visit Stockholm without being too bothered by the big city life (short drive to a big transport station that leads straight to Stockholm city center, around 1h of trip)

The location is beautiful. Quiet, peaceful. Kayaks and swimming right there. Staff is amazing. Breakfast spread is wonderful. Restaurant for dinner has amazing dishes. There are hiking trails across the road. You can take the bus to town if you want to explore or go to a different restaurant.
Vaxholm itself has shops, cafes and cycle hire. The nearby islands and the far end of Vaxholm are well worth the visit. There are several separate ferry companies serving the island and a bus so worth researching them on the Internet before hand.

Lots of nice cafes, relaxing location by the sea.
Lots of nice cafes, relaxing location by the sea. Enjoyed lunch at the Boulangerie. The kastellet is a great place to visit. The Fastning museum is only open on specific days so good to check out opening times in advance, if interested. However, boats from vaxholm to kastellet are not frequent and very expensive, so if staying at kastellet, it might be expensive to be coming into vaxholm for every meal.
Easy access to the free ferry from Vaxholm and the rest of the island. Good walking and cycling in the area and several forts to visit. Pizza restaurant nearby. There was only one other room occupied when we stayed so sharing the bathrooms was not a problem. Good showers. Attractive communal area. Excellent breakfast. Simple, comfortable, semi-communal living with privacy when you want it. Very easy booking and check in. One hour ferry ride from central Stockholm. An interesting and peaceful island.
the location is amazing!!! the town of Vaxholm is picture perfect on the archipelago with beautiful shops and restaurants and the best range of ice cream shops I have ever seen. With the Kastellet being on its own island, a short 2-3 minute ferry ride from Vaxholm. and who doesn’t want to stay in a Castle right? The bed was really comfy and the shared facilities were spotless and plentiful. Breakfast was nice with just baked bread, great coffee snd all the usual continental fixings you get in Sweden
Unique location in green nature on a peninsula near Stockholm and its archipelago. Lots of hiking trails starting at the door. Very friendly and efficient hosts who will help you with your sightseeing queries and make your stay much more personalised and enjoyable than if you just went to an average hotel. Opportunity to meet other interesting travellers in shared premises which are well equipped and clean. Good breakfast.
The room was tastefully decorated, there was a well equipped kitchenette, the grounds of the villa we're picturesque and Sanna was a welcoming and friendly host. I would highly recommend staying here if you're spending the night on Vaxholm (which is a lovely, quiet escape from Stockholm).

Breakfast was good, room was quaint and cute - i didnt realise the bathroom was shared but it was fine (like a hostel really). The bathrooms were clean and a good size. Location was fun; a great story to tell people. Its funny that the hotel guests are the only people left on the island overnight. It was like an adventure exploring the fort in the evening.
The hotel setting/location was beautiful. The access to the roof offered 360 degrees of amazing views. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. When we arrived and at check out, there were no staff on hand but all the information necessary was provided for us, including the key to our room, in an envelop. The process was easy.
This place is located on another island than Vaxholm but the car ferry runs often and is free so it is very easy to go back and forth to Vaxholm, even very late. Location itself is nice with a terrace with a very nice view. Rooms were good, in line with what we expected. Breakfast that was offered was good.
Beautiful old hotel, great location in Vaxholm harbour. Lots of Swedish history right in the middle of the Stockholm archipelago. Good food in the restaurant, nice atmosphere. Good but small breakfast, enough selection. Wonderful views from the restaurant and bar area.
A really unique location - our son loved the novelty of staying in a castle on an island! Large rooms, though ours didn’t have a view from the window.
We liked the breakfast, with freshly baked bread & lots of choice. Good value for a hotel in Sweden
Apartment is a part of a big beautiful villa in a lush garden area, very helpful and friendly hosts, peaceful, clean, close to the lovely Vaxholm town as well as boat and bus connections, comfortable beds, we had a very good stay!
The interior of the apartment is beautiful, spotlessly clean and thoughtfully arranged. it was quiet and peaceful. The bus stop is very close and we were able to access Vaxholm harbour and central Stockholm easily.
The staff and the people of Vaxholm are amazing, gentle, friendly people. A special mention about Eric at the hotel restaurant. He took extra effort to accommodate our vegan diet. This hotel can never let you down.
This red house is definitely the best accommodation in vaxholm, the host is very friendly and met all our requests, I love this house and everything here so much, I will definitely come back again.🤗🤗🤗
