Kastellet Bed & Breakfast

Vaxholm

Its a unique opportunity to live in a castle! In a castle on its own island! The idea and the satisfaction you feel in there is just enough. It was our first time in a hostel and the experience was pretty great. Cleaning in room was average tbh but not bad! Its a good and value for money option

Best opportunity to live in a castle

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.

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.

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..

Great potential, but needs better maintenance

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.

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.

There are very many spiders overall,  5 only in one bathroom.  There was no breakfast prepared but sandwiches prepared one day before and left in a box in the fringe . When looking for things in the kitchen we could see bread on a basket and half open packages of bread which should be throughout, but looked like they could be served at some point to next gests. The space around the fort is poorly maintained.

Not recommended

Unique location for a stay in Vaxholm, large rooms and nice breakfast - pretty clean overall but with uneven level for bathrooms and bed covers
