Worth it for the view and convenience.
Clean room with a beautiful view of the Archipelago from the balcony. Rooms are small but adequate and there were no hot or cold drinks provided in the room. The bar below was VERY loud for an 80s event in the bar below but was over before we wanted to relax on the balcony in the evening. Overall I would say the price point is a bit high but the hotel’s position makes up for the other shortcomings. Breakfast was excellent.

Great menu!
We went for a weekend gettaway and overall we had a great experience. The hotel is very nice and cozy but some installations could be better (like new hair dryers and better sleeping pillows). The food was great though, we loved the small menu at the restaurant, the drinks and the breakfast).

Tired hikers with hopes for a relaxing sauna
Very nice hotel right at the harbour. We had booked three rooms. Two of them had harbour view with balcony, one to the back, unfortunately was the window blocked halfway by the wall of a service elevator. The hotel had advertised that it has a sauna and we really looked forward to after three days hike on a trail. When we arrived and checked in we were informed that the sauna was not turned on yet and also was block-booked by the hotels own spa. In other words it wasn't possible for guests to use the sauna at all unless by also booning a spa package. We would really encourage the hotel to look over the sauna / spa reservations. It shouldn't be possible to block reserve a feature that is advertised as one of the hotels ammendities.

No one at the reception upon arrival. No parking available at hotel event though website says so. Small room with weird layout. Nothing like the pictures. Nobody there to seat you at breakfast. The bed was nice and the room was clean but missed the charm and luxury of the images on the website.

OK Sweden is expensive but I don’t expect stained ceilings, stained walls, to be locked out of the hotel after 10pm because no one has given us the code or even told us there is a code to get in. No one to answer the phone to let ou in. By the way your fire escapes are unlocked so no only thing between me and a thief is my room door. Lovely view, good location. But poor value. Had to ask for more bacon three times at breakfast.

Fantastic view! If it wasn’t for the view it would be a very average hotel. Very run down. Started off on the 3rd floor with a very sparse room. Small window. Welcoming factor was very low. We were offered a new room on first level with a balcony. The room was very small but the balcony saved the weekend.

Nice old hotel right where the ferry boats dock
Visually, the trim & finishing of this place are great - very antique. High ceilings, etc. The bathroom was scary small. The bed was adequate but far from comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the ferries and other boats come and go. Their "after-thought" elevator in the side alley was a mechanical struggle, but it did get us and a wheelchair off the ground. Food was pleasant but my meatballs are better! At the front desk, Hedwig was a great hostess...in fact, everyone was eager to answer questions, bring coffee, etc. Be forewarned - parking is a nightmare. Have them valet park your car if you brought one. I'd recommend this hotel to any able-bodied traveler. For the handicapped, it can be a project. Don't worry about the ferry whistles all night - they stop around 6 or 7 PM.

2 night family stay
Very convenient location, right across the ferry. Hotel looks quite nice, the mattress was not the most comfortable compared to other hotels at this price range. The overall cost was a bit high compared to other hotels of this class, but probably not unreasonable for the remote location. Breakfast was quite good as well.

Great launch point for the Stockholm archipelago
Perfect location for exploring the Stockholm archipelago. Good restaurant with a great continental breakfast each morning. Also really enjoyed dinner there our first night. The hotel is directly across the street from where the boats pick up and drop off passengers for going out into the archipelago. Totally enjoyable. Darling island. Loved it!
