This is a unique stay in a fabulous city. The staff were kind and most accommodating.
Of note (these are things to expect) that add to the charm of this stay.
The yacht/boat is almost 100 years old, expect some normal wear. The renovations done recently have done well to update the setting.
There is a lift for luggage. If you are in a party of 2 or more, don't lug your items up the gangway/walkway to reception. One person can check-in, while the other waits at the door immediately off the paved walkway, and bring the luggage through the door on ground level.
There is going to be noise and light at night time, it's a city, you are staying on a boat that boasts over 50 rooms. Bring a sleeping masking and ear plugs. Those 2 items are crucial for travel regardless of your choice in lodging.
The breakfast offerings were outstanding. The restaurant food was divine, as was the view to enjoy while dining.
Another guest review complained about staff eating in the same location as the guests. How disheartening it is that someone could be bothered by such a thing. We were pleased to share our space with the staff.
The location was a less then 10 minute walk from the commuter train stop at Gamla Stan.
You can leave your luggage for free there before and after check-in/check-out.
There are plenty of shops and eateries nearby.
Bottomline, would stay again!
