Good location. The boat didn’t rock either which was a plus! Do bring ear plugs as the doors slam loud. The single bed room I stayed in wouldn’t be suitable for anyone over 6ft. Lovely stay.

A room on the boat is really fun and it is located conviniently near the city centre. And, the prices are very competitive.

Nice, fun, interesting place to stay on the Stockholm harbour. Staff is very friendly. Room is quite small for price. Shower is very small for a normal sized person. Room cool, and took a while to warm up. Not very convenient to walk to.

This place is such a gem! The location is great. It’s an easy and quick walk to Gamla Stan. The rooms are very cozy; I loved listening to the rain on the water. We shared a shower/bathroom with others on our floor and it was clean, no issues there. Breakfast is worth the price and the dinner options are yummy. We also had a great time talking to the front desk staff each night. They were very sociable!

Rustic Maritime Accommodations
I booked a cabin on The Red Boat for a week stay in Sweden and used it as a home base while touring the country. It was perfect for this purpose. It is within a short walk to Gamla Stan Metro stop as well as a short walk to other attractions. The best way to describe this lodging experience is Maritime Rustic Hostel. It is not posh or fancy, but provides basic accommodations with helpful staff. The cabin, bathroom, showers and common areas were clean and warm (stay was in November). I would stay at The Red Boat again. If you plan to book here, have realistic expectations and you will be satisfied.

Solid, economical place to rest in the center!
The Red Boat is not for people looking for a 5 star experience while trying to save money. It is a place to experience sleeping on a vintage/antique boat. The Red Boat offers: -Friendly staff and reception that will take the time to answer questions -Clean sleeping quarters that are designed for resting. The rooms are small, but not so small that you feel crampt. Unless you bring unnecessary luggage. -Cleaned and maintained WCs and showers -Peaceful and quiet atmosphere throughout. The place is budget, but I managed to sleep better here than many of the 4-5 star hotels I have visited in the past. I will definately return here in the future.

Layout needs some changes.
We were allocated a room on the boat next door to the red boat. Good points:- Cheap Not to far from public transport Negative points:- No additional facilites like common space if you are not on the red boat itself Only 2 toilets, which were up staris, so they layout was not great. The showers were very small, better use could have been made of the space. Overall the stay was ok, but the layout needs some changes to make it more comfortable.

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.
