I am very happy with my stay at the red boat. The location is perfect. We can see the boat the moment that we leave the metro station. The old town is few minutes walking. The view is amazing. Personal welcoming and happy to assist.

Very good location, walkable to the Gamla Old town and train. The view from the boat is spectacular especially at sunset and night time. Breakfast at the boat is reasonable price. The Thai restaurant on a boat next door is convenient and their food is so good. My one and only complaint was the smell in one of our rooms. We rented two rooms.

Staff is great and boat is funky, but it’s a boat: tight quarters, stuffy air, and, yes, it rocks a lot. If you’re prone to seasickness (like me) I do not recommend. If not, it’s fun for a couple of nights…no more.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in the admiral cabin which is the biggest room on the boat. The red boat featured on the booking is not the actual boat we stayed on, the cabin in located on a white boat next to the red boat. The cabin has amazing views and I liked it had its own shower and toilet. I slept really well in the twin (pushed together into a double) bed. The cabin has a tv, large wardrobe and coffee making facilities. Over all, I really enjoyed my one night stay here. Their could be noise issue if the cabins above were occupied by noisy guests as the cabin isn’t soundproof and people moving around the boat can be heard throughout the cabin.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
