The Red Boat
"Super cute and unique place to stay! The beds and bedding were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The doors between people’s rooms are a bit on the thinner side, so if the people across the hall are jerks that play music in their room at midnight, you will hear it. I would still stay here ..."

Comfort Hotel Xpress Stockholm Central
"Rooms are fairly small but clean. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Choice of a few different sandwiches, yogurt and juice. Elevator was not working properly and felt like it was going to fall apart. Location was good but will look for a different option next time."
