“A waterside idyll”

We decided on Stockholm as we wanted to re-visit the Vaasa. Since the hotel (part of a restored naval building complex) is just across the water from the museum where the old ship can now be seen, we thought: why not? And what a superb choice too.

We decided on Stockholm as we wanted to re-visit the Vaasa. Since the hotel (part of a restored naval building complex) is just across the water from the museum where the old ship can now be seen, we thought: why not? And what a superb choice too. From the attentive staff at Reception through the comfortable and spotless room to the enormous choice of food at breakfast(!) we were never disappointed. The hotel is situated at the water’s edge, with a convenient ferry stop to take you to the Vaasa museum, the funfair (sadly not open until end of April we discovered) or even the ABBA museum. The hotel staff across all areas were helpful and polite, speak excellent English and it was one of them who suggested we took the really superb boat trip (2 hrs) around the Stockholm archipelago. We will definitely stay here again when we return.

“A peaceful island in the midst of Stockholm.”

The location is beautiful, the hotel on a stunning island and converted skilfully from naval quarters which adds to their unusualness.

The location is beautiful, the hotel on a stunning island and converted skilfully from naval quarters which adds to their unusualness. There is the mini-ferry that takes you to various points of Stockholm including the Vasa museum and the ABBA museum. The hotel room was superb with a massive bathroom, a lovely view of the trees and the water. Breakfast was top-notch and we ate three times in the restaurant where the food was excellent. There is something rather special being located on Skeppesholmen island, and the hotel just adds to the experience.

“Lovely hotel, lovely staff, great stay!”

Quiet secluded location, traditionally Skandi style. Staff on the front desk were very welcoming and friendly, helping us store our luggage before we checked in and after checking out. The breakfast was amazing, best cinnamon buns ever! Great selection of hot and cold items, coffee, tea, juices. ... more

Quiet secluded location, traditionally Skandi style. Staff on the front desk were very welcoming and friendly, helping us store our luggage before we checked in and after checking out. The breakfast was amazing, best cinnamon buns ever! Great selection of hot and cold items, coffee, tea, juices. We had a deluxe room with sea view, well worth it, the room was large and comfortable, with a great view. peaceful overnight. Bathroom was small, but perfect. We had a great stay, and would definitely book this hotel again.

“Everything was very good except the style over function bathroom sink”

I stayed in Hotel Skeppsholmen for 7 nights in March 2024. The hotel, converted from 2 historical buildings from 1699, is tucked away in an island (the very tranquil Skeppsholmen).

I stayed in Hotel Skeppsholmen for 7 nights in March 2024. The hotel, converted from 2 historical buildings from 1699, is tucked away in an island (the very tranquil Skeppsholmen). But it’s well connected to the rest of the city via bus no.65 and ferry no.82. The National Museum, Grand Hotel, the Royal Palace and the Old Town are only a short walk away. I’d a deluxe room with sea and garden view (Room 232). It’s spacious with 3 big windows and ample natural light. There’s even a walk-in closet. The decor was minimalist but there’s no shortage of modern amenities including a large waterfall shower and Byredo Bal d’Afrique toiletries. I’d quality sleep during my stay since there’s almost no traffic in the area during the night. The room rate included buffet style breakfast. It’s served in the hotel restaurant. There’s a wide variety of hot and cold food to choose from. My only complaint is the bathroom sink. It’s certainly beautiful to look at but highly impractical to use. Every time I finished brushing my teeth and washing my face, the bathroom floor was all wet. I checked some reviews of travellers and replies of the hotel on TripAdvisor again after my stay. Many travellers had issues with the sink too. I’m surprised and a little annoyed that the hotel had acknowledged the problem without doing anything to rectify the same.
