Location along the inlet was nice. A nice walk to get to Gamla Stan. Staff were very helpful. The room was quite basic but met our needs. Wifi was stated as working in common areas - it did, but was slow. Beds were ok. Nearby shower worked fine. Room was quiet, safe and secure. Had one meal in the restaurant, it was good. Nice to be able to relax having a beer inside or outside.

- Staying in an actual ship is great. - And it gets even greater by facing the old town of Stockholm across the river. - The room was designed quite well with desktop lamp and power outlet for each bunk.

Nothing- the best hostel I have ever stayed at!
The location was perfect and so peaceful- easy to walk into the city and onto the various islands. We could have had drinks etc at the hostel cafe each night but we decided to venture out! The beds were super cosy and everything was very very clean. Can’t wait to stay again!!

There isn't an oven, so I can not make pizza. Cash is unacceptable.
The hostel is very clean, and facilities are perfectly distributed. Staff there are kind, patient enough to solve all your problems. And ths spot is very close to the old town, onlt taked few minutes walk, very convenient.

“Nice comfy hostel with a great view!”
- • Leisure trip

Ladies' showers were next to a common room, where people were playing games in the evening. That wasn't so comfortable. There is a bus stop on the island, but the bus doesn't go that often, so it's better to walk from the center. It's a little harder in bad weather (it was raining and freezing a little when we were there), but not that far.
I enjoyed the view and the fact that it was a little detached but still in the center. The beds were comfy and there were thick curtains. I also enjoyed the breakfast a lot — very tasty dark bread and vegan options. Worth the money!

The window could not be opened in a safe way. It would be convenient if the light in the hallway could be dimmed during the night. Maybe some for variation in the cafetaria. Now there were 3 options during the whole week. And mostly one of them was sold out.
Great breakfast. We first had a small room on the ship, with bad view and no room for a babycrib. There were no cooking facilities or sitting area. We asked the reception for another, which was quickly arranged!

We have booked a room in the main building, not in the ship, but when we came, we were told that main building is fully booked and we have to stay in the ship. The cabin in the ship was tiniest place I have ever slept in. There was a bunk bed, but the second floor did not have any protection on the side, so I was terrified to fall out of the bed. Also, my partner is 195 cm tall, so the bed was too short for him. In a addition, we needed to make the bed ourselves and the duvet and pillow were very very worn. There was no hairdryer and I needed to ask for it in the reception. Later I have checked the description of the room and it was really not included - but just pay attention to this detail.
Location was very nice and close to the city center. The staff was polite and friendly. Breakfast was fine for the price we paid.

Group of drunk teenagers were having after party at 4am. That was rude and annoying, but hardly to blame a hotel for this. Perhaps they could enforce night noise rules little bit harder. Other than this, wholesome experience.
Cheap and cheerful. It's basic, but clean, good location. It got everything person might need except luxury. It's just a room, two beds, blankets, coathanger and wash-basin. Toilets were 5 steps from our room in same manner. Basic and clean.

Some room for improvement: The room is nice but a bit sterile. Could have been a bit cozier/atmosphere. Just a plan or some art would make all the difference. The lights above the bed make a bit a funny sound: you here the electricity kind of cracking in there. The breakfast was pretty good: we liked the focus on ecological, the choice of breads, etc. We only missed scrambled or fried eggs and fresh fruit.
It was overall very good: great location, nice personnel, very clean, everything new and fresh. In that sense we were super happy and it is a good stay! You walk into town within just 10 minutes, there is a lovely view and the whole place felt steady, calm and welcoming.
