Nice but

We were impressed with the conversion of the ship to a hotel. Breakfast was good. Nice location. The room was extremely small for 2 people. The view was a very small port high almost too high to see out of. Unique stay but would not do it again.

The location is excellent and novel. Breakfast was very good with lots of choice. Generally quiet except for a motor or pump running at night which made sleeping difficult a couple of times. The online check in was a waste of time.

The place is great with the view , close to old town walking distance. Nice Breakfast ! Only thing not ok is the smell , I stayed just for a night in small room on 1st floor, I can smell bad pipe or something bad like stinky smell. I just tried to sleep a a night so didn’t want to complain or change the room. I don’t know is it only my room that near the toilet pipe or something. Overall , great place to stay. Good experience!! View from the small window hole is so beautiful!

This was such a cute property! It was an old yacht, once owned by socialite Barbara Hutton. I read up on her once I got there. Interesting, yet sad life. The rooms were nice, the windows gave plenty of fresh air. I could hear the waves lapping against the ship at night, and there were pretty lights across the river, including the big red heart at Lejontrappan! I walked everywhere because the location was so perfect. The staff went out of their way a few times for me. I highly recommend this fun yacht/hotel!

LOVELY FIRST VISIT TO STOCKHOLM

Built in 1924, this was once the world's largest yatch, but has been converted into a floating hotel. We thought this was a very unique experience and we enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was cozy and comfortable. Extremely convenient to Stockholm's Old City (Gamla Stan). Easy walk to the Royal Palace, Stockholm Cathedral, the Swedish Parliment, Stockholm City Hall, Central Station, and many other sights, shops, restaurants, places of interest and public transit. The buffet breakfast was outstanding. I would highly recommend staying onboard when in Stockholm. Only 2 minor negatives: 1.) The property description says laundry facilites are available. This gave me the impression they had washers and dryers onboard for guest use. They do not. Only an off-ship laundry pickup service which is expensive in Stockholm. One of our priorities in choosing a hotel is the availability of self-laundry service. I'm glad we stayed here, but I likely would have chosen differently if I correctly understood the laundry service situation. The owners should update/clarify that properly in the Property Description. 2.) The bathroom door in our cabin (217) is VERY squeaky; needs lubricating.

This location is perfect for dinner, coffee, or drinks. Beautiful dining area and well located. The rooms, however, are terrible. The stairs to the various rooms are difficult to maneuver with luggage so my daughter took the elevator and ended up being stuck/trapped for some time. The shower floor in our room had water oozing from beneath the tile (we had not yet used the shower), the room was so small that we could not comfortably be in it together, a board running from above the bottom bunk added additional obstruction to head space, and the entire set up of the rooms was labyrinthine. We ended up paying for a night despite leaving and finding accommodation elsewhere. The on site staff were lovely.

The old boat was unique for sure. I was glad to spend most of my time outside the boat. Yacht is too big name for it. There was no coffee maker in the room, practically there was nothing to make me feel welcome. If i wanted a cup of coffee or tea I'd to buy it. So, that hotel was big mistake on my part.

It’s a good value for the price. A nice location. Can sometimes hear creeks and walking above you but overall wasn’t a big deal and was happy for the price. It’s very clean and workers are friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet and views were excellent! Would consider staying there again.

Heating system didn't work, it was really cold to be in the room during the day and night. It is an old ship, so wooden furniture is dilapidated. I found hairs and stains from previous visitors on the extra blanket in the closet, so I think that these items are not cleaned regularly. It was difficult to adjust the water in the shower - it was either extremely hot or cold Cleaning stuff passive aggressively did the job - sometimes emptying the bins, sometimes not. It seemed like the staff was tasked with spying on whether anyone was making a takeaway breakfast sandwich.
