Super nice historic accommodation, easy access with boat to mainland
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Charming location, facilities and outside scenery (Kastellet and the sea). However, some cleanup and renewal of the area outside of the B&B would be nice.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Really nice and special place to stay with its history and placement in the archipelago and closeness to Vaxholm. Furniture and interior matched well- you could feel the history of the building. Breakfast real nice.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Wow, staying in a real castle is very cool! My son and I really enjoyed the view from our room, the great breakfast and the peace and quiet. The museum was really well done and made us appreciate the unique history of the castle and where we were staying. The ferry stopped at 7:40 p.m., so if we wanted to stay later in town that might have been an issue, but it wasn't for us and we loved staying here.

Cool location and rooms

Great location and nice, clean rooms. We had the separate part with four rooms and living space, which were really nice. Barely met anyone who worked there. Our keys was in an envelope, and we checked out without having spoken to a single employee at the hotel.

Not easy to get to an island without a boat

Room and breakfast was fine. BUT you have to remember that this is s small island 50 meters outside Vaxholm. The last two ferries depart at around 6 PM and 9 PM. After that you either swim or need to order a taxi boat for 30 EUR single way.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

A unique spot! Bit odd to have to get a ferry at the set times to the island but I loved it for that. Lovely to wander around the fort on an evening. Breakfast was not fine-dining but perfectly adequate for my needs.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Great place, really difficult to get in touch with the staff to ask about the free breakfast offering. Great place to stay at offseason, few neighbours and calm environment. There is a fridge where you can store your own food because there is no place to buy any at the kastellet-island. You can not cook anything so only bring ready to eat food.

Quirky- be sure to factor in the cost of boats

Cool building. Very expensive to get from/to each day as no facilities- they do have a deal with a local water taxi but still costly for a one minute trip- need to factor in. Nice breakfast but overwhelmed by people and completely ran out of milk! We did know showers not en suite but surprised how far away. Comfortable beds. Clean. WiFi intermittent. No tv. Felt like a posh hostel.

Is a unique B&B. The ferry going back and forth to Vaxholm is convenient, although would be good if people staying in the B&B didn’t have to pay to leave the island.

A unique historical experience

The fact that the B&B is located right inside the castle on the castle island is quite special. Other than that, there isn't much else that stands out about this place.
Verified review

Nice room, great location, good breakfast. As an old property, sounds carry so you can hear noise of neighbors and kitchen. Otherwise, really comfortable place to stay and plenty to explore in the area.

it was a comfortable hotel, clean and calm. It will be better if some instant coffee powder and tea bag can be prepared especially in the evening.

Fun place to stay in Vaxholm. It isn't luxurious but it was perfectly comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. Definitely worth arranging to be dropped off at Kastellet by the ferry company (we didn't buy it saves time and money). You need to get to grips with the ferry to and from the main island. We had a very nice family room in the annex overlooking the sea but it wasn't en suite.

2/10 Poor

Awful

Extremely disappointed with the hotel as room not clean, beds smelled bad and shared bathroom for 15 groom. Never again
Verified review

6/10 Good

Great potential, but needs better maintenance

Place is beautiful and breakfast was good, but there’s no personnel on island and that seems to cause some problems. Cleaning could have been better, but our main issue was with showers. Their (we tried two in lower floor) temperature control was broken resulting with really hot water being the only option. And no personnel on location meant that there was no-one to fix them..
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Interesting and unique opportunity to spend the night in a centuries-old military citadel. The breakfast is fine. Our biggest complaint/recommendation has to do with the things NOT provided. Be aware that the shower rooms are communal and we were surprised to find that no soap or shampoo is provided. Also, there is a ferry (3 minute ride) that you must use each time you want to leave the island to shop or explore and it can become quite costly if you need to make many trips (about $10USD roundtrip). It would be very good if the b&b provided some sort of complimentary pass or two. Also, there is a small museum on the island and again, a complimentary pass for hotel guests would be a nice amenity.

unclean rooms but lovely staff

as they had all gone home for the day our key was left in an onvelop on the desk with our name on it, when we got to the room the blankets and pillows had stains on them and the floor had not been swhept, there was hair all over and some scrap left behind, the air smellt crampt. now when we cald them about it they gave us the code to an empty room and sayd we could stay in the new room or just take the pillows and sheets from it. we chose to stay in the new room, it was clean, smellt cleaner and was slightly bigger witch we where happy with. now its not one big bed but rather 2 singles put together, this is probobly the norm but if you dont know its the case it might surprice you. the staf was very kind and made sure to make and put out breakfast even when we where the only guests at the hotell, sadly the museum wasent open but thats our fault for not checking befor booking. its a very lovely place but i wish they would clean the rooms beter.

Tyvärr luktade det jordkällare framförallt i matsalen och receptionen. Fuktfläckar i taket i receptionen. Även lite doft i sovrummen. Dammråttor under sängarna. I övrigt så är det ett historiskt och annorlunda boende. Stora rum och sköna sängar.
