I would stay here again because of the location and it's really good for a "hostel". I walked from the central train station with a pack and it took about 20 minutes. It's only a very short walk from both Gamla Stan and from the heart of Sodermalm and the metro. Thomas on the reception desk was very friendly and... More

I had a great stay in January. The Red Boat is convenient to the old town area and to transit. The staff was great and the accommodations nice. Although the weather was cold, the rooms were snug. Being right on the water made waking up and looking out the porthole a great experience. You could see the spires of the... More

We had a lovely stay here, although it was bunk beds which wasn't very romantic it was a unique stay! The breakfast was nice, continental with a good choice, and the views over the water where beautiful at night! HOWEVER on the first night we had a room on the land side which was the worst night sleep! The water... More

We had a pleasure to stay on the white boat "Ran" for two nights. For a reasonable price you get a chance to stay in a unique place with an amazing atmosphere reminiscent of old navy days. The Red Boat (the main boat with a reception) is truly charming with richly decorated reception/common room where you can buy some food... More

I stayed at the Ran for 5 nights in September. As other reviewers have mentioned there are two boats: the Red Boat Hotel and the Ran. The main reasons I chose it were the central location, good price as well as the unique experience of staying on a boat. I wasn't disappointed. It's very close to shops, restaurants, cafes etc....

I stayed 4 nights in the Red Boat Hotel with my partner in July 2012 and would highly recommend staying here. The novelty of staying on a boat and the superb views we had over the city of Stockholm were the highlights. The rooms are clean and full of character. They are quite small, though this is all part of... More

I was in the hostel for two times and one time on the red boat! The stuff was always helpful, rooms and shared bathrooms always clean! Good location, very close from T-bana station in Slussen and from Gamla stan (5 min walk)!! I recommend this hostel!

Cheap, comfortable and well situated - this is basically what one looks for when searching for accommodation. And when one finds it, there's hardly anything left to wish for. The Red Boat is exactly this kind of place. Situated in the heart of Stockholm, it offers really much for a very reasonable price. Cosy and clean premises, very helpful staff... More

I have a penchant for things that are a little 'different' and the Red Boat triggered all these senses. A little walk away from the Gamla Stan, this is a cozy and helpful establishment. The view from the deck was interesting - a glimpse of the lit up Townhall and Old city together. I really wish I had more time... More

We stayed in the white boat, the Ran, for 7 nights. We had a double bed, which I would not recommend since it's pretty small. In fact, the whole cabin is small, but it's a boat and I didn't expect it to be bigger. The most important thing is that it was very clean, as well as the toilets and... More
