A historic boat run part a cafe, hostel, no-strings hotel. Some things come with that territory. The location is absolutely stunning. From the small open deck or the dining area … scenic vistas of central Stockholm to savor. The “street level” of “main” (red) boat is expertly decorated in a nautical theme. You can imagine yourself on a classic sailing vessel. The lower level of the same boat, much more utilitarian. Down still lovingly decorated stairs, a narrow corridor with bunk rooms on both sides and WCs at the end. Those showers/toilets are shared by the whole boat … and often occupied, especially at breakfast and bedtime. Hard to tell when locked so you keep getting interrupted by people jiggling the handle. The rooms … are basic. Below the water line, so the windows are small recessed slits. You can peak or shove a camera in there, but otherwise a narrow vision over water or at the quay. (I think the rooms on the other boat have the better views.) As basic it is, my room had a convenient bench on the water-side, a comfortable bunk with lots of storage underneath, a table and a fragile stool. A pleasant surprise were the plentiful outlets – six by my count. Breakfast was a good if standard. Staff was helpful. One thing to be aware of, despite transit maps showing Line 405 stopping nearby, and nice bus stops, it isn’t running now perhaps due to the Slussen rebuild, and staff knew nothing about it. To reach transit is a long walk to Slussen, hard w/ bags, and stairs.
The hallway to access the bunk rooms on the lower level.
The main breakfast spread, with breads, butter and jams, soft-boiled eggs, cheese and sliced meat.
Front view from small open deck attached to dining area.
Sign for the boat and the kind of view you can glimpse if you have a room on the side of the boat away from shore.

Our room was small but they do offer luggage storage if you want to unpack more, and have more room. Beds were comfortable. Bit more noise from being on sidewalk side. Shared bathrooms were always available. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was really nice and worth paying for. Would stay again but would pay for one of the rooms with private bathroom as someone who has to go early in the morning! 😉

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
