A great place with a unique atmosphere. A fantastic option, especially if you're looking for budget accommodations. Good breakfasts. Cabins are very small.

The ship has its charm from the outside and at reception, and the staff are friendly. The rooms are dated and uncomfortable, especially the top bunk, which is too close to the ceiling.

Great place to stay; the cabins have beds and storage space. The bathroom is clean and modern. It's a 10-minute walk to Gamla Stan and a ferry terminal in 15 minutes.

An unusual "hotel"! A first for me, and I loved it. I wanted to fully experience Stockholm, and I succeeded. First positive point: the very friendly welcome. Second positive point: the perfect location! Despite the shared bathrooms, which were also a first for me as I value my privacy, I have no complaints: they were well-maintained and very clean. The rooms are tiny, but we know that and it's visible in the photos before booking. So it wasn't a bad surprise; we knew what to expect. I'm still taking off one star for the beds… When I travel, I make the most of it, so I need restful sleep. But here, with mattresses that are only 3 cm thick, that was impossible. It's like sleeping directly on a wooden board, which isn't comfortable. The next day, my back ached all day. Although everything is adapted and tailored for this type of space, there are still good mattresses of the same size available, so it's not impossible to set up. It's really a shame. As for the boat itself, there was no musty smell or anything like that, and no large waves that you can feel and that could make you seasick. You can feel the swell a little when you're standing, but once you lie down, you don't feel it at all. It's a pity about the "English" style breakfast, with a buffet of cold cuts, eggs, bacon, and other things, but no pastries. Therefore, I didn't have it and found something I liked elsewhere. It's a shame; I would have liked to extend the experience by also eating on board.
