Vandrarhem
Ligger på en ö, enda sättet att komma dit är med privata båt-bolag, så att checka in för att sedan ta sig tillbaka kostar 110:-pp. Inga WC på rummen, men luktade "båt" i rummen. dvs någon slags mögel. Ser dock fint ut och väldigt vackert. Frukosten var OK, inget extra, bra vandrahemsstandard,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
