Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

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

This boat hotel has a lovely vintage style from the moment you walk in with it's beautiful wooden interior and wonderful decor. The room was cozy, clean and warm, and although we slept on a bunk bed it was surprisingly very comfortable. In terms of the location, it is perfectly situated in the center of Stockholm city with close walk to coffee shops and main attractions. The only small disadvantage is having to share toilets and bathrooms, which you would expect from a small boat, but otherwise the stay was very comfortable and we barely felt the boat rocking as the waters were very calm. Staff were very friendly too and we got along with them, so overall it was a great stay!

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)

8.0 / 10.0
The Red Boat is very unique and the service was great! We really enjoyed our stay. Shared bathroom facilities were kept clean.
It is difficult to access rooms for those with limited mobility due to the ramp up to the boat with rooms and then the narrow spiral staircase down to the rooms. So can be difficult to manage with suitcases vs backpacks.
8.0 / 10.0
The property is a boat, and that is unique and cool. I had a room with a private bath and shower wich were small but fine. The negative is the location of the boat. There is a very busy street/highway in front of the property and it's not easy to walk to attractions.

Lack of appropriate toilet facilities was a massive issue had one toilet for a whole boat which the only access is down a stair case and round the corner which is only accessible from the outside.

The boat was clean and cool however i wouldnt really recomend because its very hard to get to (hills and steep stairs ) no public transport other than very expensive taxi to even get to the bus stop (20 canadian ) maybe it would be different in summer when you didnt have to drag a suitcse in sjow and ice on a steep hill. The boat you stay on is one behind the main one, it has a very narrow and steep wodden platform with just ropes to keep you from potentially falling or dropping your bag in the water. U have to stand on it to put the code in the door so its not like u just quickly pass by it. The main boat has a great ramp eith proper railing. Very cute but i csnt recomend this unless you dont have a lot of stuff with you and ate compleatly able boddied.

My partner and I stayed at this property for 3 nights. Upon arrival, everything seemed okay, but we were told that we would be on the boat behind. Not an issue. We were also told that breakfast was 99 SEK per person, per day, and decided to buy breakfast passes for us both for the days that we would be there.
When we got to our room, we noticed it was small - two single beds, and not really any space for belongings (there were a few hooks, and some space under the bed). There were shared toilets and showers upstairs, again, small but okay.
After the first night, we noticed that the room was wet. The ceiling was wet, the floor, and I believe it was condensation. The windows (portholes) did open, but it is November, and it was freezing. There was no ventilation for the condensation, so the floors, walls and ceiling were wet. Not a great start.
We went down for breakfast (on the other boat), and this was absolutely fine. A selection of bread, meats, cheese, vegetables, fruit, yoghurt, etc. Plenty of choice for all.
The walls for the rooms are paper thin. You will hear everything, and people will come home drunk at 4am and wake you up. There is no staff to police this, so good luck. Because of the noise, damp and condensation, my partner and I are leaving Stockholm tired and ill. I would not recommend staying here at all. Find somewhere cheaper

It was a lovely stay. Very basic. But cheap. So I can't complain. The staff were friendly. The bed was comfy. It was clean. It was in a good location to get places. Very central. I would stay again

Quirky hotel/hostel that really brings a unique Stockholm experience.
8.0 / 10.0
The Red Boat is a very unique place to stay in Stockholm, but it is not fancy or comfortable. It is an easy walk to Gamla Stan and the metro. The rooms are very small and basic, the bathrooms and showers are also very basic - more like a hostel than a hotel. We loved the breakfast option, with yummy food and a charming dining room setting. The staff was kind and helpful. We would not stay here again, it was pretty expensive for what you get.

The place was OK for the price we paid. If you want to experience the boat/cabin stay, then its recommended. The rooms/cabins are small as its on the boat. The breakfast (10 USD per person) was good. The place is 10 min walk from the closest metro station, and walkable (15 mins) to old town and the view around the boat is amazing. Lot of dining options close by

Beautiful stay on the harbor with view of city and easy walk to dining and historic neighborhoods.

It was a really good experience! I stayed in a single room, room was in a really great condition, clean and comfortable. Staying at a boat in Stockholm is I guess a "must" experience that you should do. It has one of the best views as well.

The location is great and a short walk to Slussen and Gamla Stan. It smells like old boat but has a great view.

The hostel is really good. However, the main light in the room switches off after 5 min without killing the switch. And there are small tables in the room but under the tables the floor has not been cleaned before the arrival.
2.0 / 10.0
Very small room for two people, only one socket for a charger away from the beds and very little space for luggage. Have to put bed sheets on yourself. Boat didn’t smell too good in the corridor and toilets were not clean. Very cramped but then again it is a boat and it’s very cheap for the price. Owner was friendly.

Room was cold, it made it hard to want to stay. Also there wasn’t any good shower rooms where could put stuff when showering.

The location is very good for seeing downtown Stockholm.
But unfortunately the room smelled pretty bad. We suspect the carpet. Every time a short gag reflex came over us. However, once you were in the room for a few minutes you got used to it.

I absolutely loved this property. The boat was quite solid, little to no rocking even when it was extremely windy out. The room was super cozy, and everything worked great (especially great water pressure, and radiator in the bathroom was fantastic for the cold weather on the lake). The staff was wonderful, and the location is fantastic for getting around Stockholm with ease.
I would caution anyone with knee issues to be aware that the steps leading to the upper deck are quite steep, but that's the only negative I can say. Jag alskar Röd Båten!

A Quirky boat hostel. I enjoyed my stay there. It was a close 10 minute walk to the city center. The only downsides were that it's 5 minutes away from any bus stop and that the wifi was spotty.
