Guests mention comfortable beds, some spacious layouts, sea views, and the quiet, atmospheric setting. On-island dining and shops are scarce, so plan food and evening arrangements in advance. Expect a memorable, low-frills stay in a unique location.

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.

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.

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.

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,

Bed and Breakfast i själva kastellet. Personalmöte incheck/utcheck. Rent. Frukosten helt ok. Badrum/dusch/toa i korridoren delas med övriga rum. Inget vatten på rummet men gick att hämta glas i receptionen. Två sängar som står bredvid varandra men som inte är ihopsatta i dubbelrum.

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.

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.

Mysigt ställe, jättefina rum och super bekväma sängar! Men det var väldigt lyhört och man hörde allt. Duscharna var inte så fräscha och det var mycket spindelnät överallt vilket gav intryck att de inte städades så noggrant. Toppen frukost!

Renligheten var under all kritik, smutsiga badrum och väggarna hängde det dammtussar från. Frukosten fanns det man behövde men samma där, yoghurt förpackningarna var smutsiga som att de tappats i backen utan att blivit avtorkade, ostar med osthyvel som alla gäster tog i för att få av en skiva. Positiva är att det var väldigt svalt i rummen så man sov bra.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fin upplevelse för både vuxna och barn i den speciella miljön. Så vackert att bo med havet runt om. God frukost i mysig lokal. Önskvärt med tydligare beskrivning kring båtturen över, hade gärna haft kostnaden inbakad i priset för boendet.

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.

Kul att bo i delar av historisk byggnad. Charmigt och välrenoverat. Helt ok frukost. Bad och dusch i korridoren och lite knöligt med middag. Dyrt att åka linjefärja in till Vaxholm för middag.

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.

Trevligt boende i en fantastisk miljö. Det borde dock framgå tydligare vid bokningen att färjan över kostar 110 ToR.

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.

Et alletiders sted. Super hyggeligt og på selve kastellet. En lille ø med en omkreds på blot 650m. Man sejler dertil med kabelbåd fra Vaxholm - 2 min rejse. Værelserne er fine og den samlede oplever var autentisk og helt som den skulle være.

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.

Dining
Breakfast is generally good to very good, though a few mention simple offerings or occasional supply or hygiene issues. There are few or no on-island dining options, so plan meals ahead.

Renligheten var under all kritik, smutsiga badrum och väggarna hängde det dammtussar från. Frukosten fanns det man behövde men samma där, yoghurt förpackningarna var smutsiga som att de tappats i backen utan att blivit avtorkade, ostar med osthyvel som alla gäster tog i för att få av en skiva. Positiva är att det var väldigt svalt i rummen så man sov bra.

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.

Häftigt ställe! Vår sena incheckning var inget problem. Min sång var mjuk men lite nedlegad på mitten. Men min rygg gillar inte det. Kudden lite hög men det kanske man kan få byta om man kommer under öppettiderna? Frukosten enkel men god!

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.

Bed and Breakfast i själva kastellet. Personalmöte incheck/utcheck. Rent. Frukosten helt ok. Badrum/dusch/toa i korridoren delas med övriga rum. Inget vatten på rummet men gick att hämta glas i receptionen. Två sängar som står bredvid varandra men som inte är ihopsatta i dubbelrum.

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.

Really a great option if you want to stay in Vaxholm for one night. Kids had fun. But generally: 1) the breakfast supplies started a bit too late for early travellers, not too helpful as for the instructions on the direction; 2) no private bathroom (nothing wrong from the descriptions though). Also, the limitation of leaving the island is the schedule of the ferry so do plan ahead:) Enjoy your stay anyway!
