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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.
