True bargain with amazing view in the heart of the city
Jesco, 2-night trip

Shower was a bit small for my big back. Walking distance to gamla stan. Close to subway. Great photos. Breakfast was good.

10/10 Excellent

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy check in. Nice breakfast. Great location. I enjoyed my stay.
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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! 😉
Moira, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Ines, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Josephine, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Thomas, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

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

Perfect for a short stay; great buffet breakfast; 10 min leisurely walk to The Old Town (Gamla Stan).
MIHAELA, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

I like it the view and safe areas. Staff are nice. Close to station and market. Walk able on the sea.

2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Kattie, 3-night trip

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.
Paul, 7-night trip

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.
Marcin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A unique experience for sure. Was cheap and a nice view with a comfy bed but probably wouldn’t have wanted to stay any longer (stayed one night)
Hannah, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
