Extraordinary location and a lot of things open 24 hours, like the tower with stunning views. Great piqueniqye areas. Nice walk around. Nice breakfast and you can sit outside. Experience sleeping in a castle is great POL tour was the best travel experience with a decent price.
It is really hard to travel from and to the island. Especially at night. Thought to get a taxi when we came from a concert at 11 pm, but they just don't answer the phone or have no boat available. It is also important to know that each trip you have to pay. Taxis will be expensive - up to 60-70 Euros for 5 minutes in the night. Breakfast was nice, but don't come late. Fruits and coffee might be gone 15 minutes before they close

Staying at a fortress is an incredible experience and I am so glad we spent our first night in Sweden at Kastellet Bed and Breakfast! The building is phenomenal. The rooms are charming. The bathrooms are very well organized. And the breakfast is delicious! Thank you for a remarkable introduction to the Stockholm Archipelago!
I wish we had known there were luggage carts available close to the dock upon arrival, You might want to include that information on your website. It was difficult to get our luggage up to our accommodations. Luckily, we figured it out when it came time to leave!

A unique experience of staying in a castle in a tiny island in the Stockholm archipelago. The quiet grounds make for an interesting and calm stay, esp. after the last boat has left. Rooms are quiet, comfortable and minimally furnished. Bathrooms are shared, which were clean and tidy. Breakfast is an open buffet with local food items. The staff were extremely helpful.
Overall stay was good. Although there's room to improve the entrance to the castle (e.g. some gardening, removing weeds, etc.). This could help in uplifting the face and first impression of the place.

The extraordinary location. You are free to explore the kastellet and can walk around the island. Very relaxing Very comfortable beds. Big room ( with a view to the sea). Clean. Clean bathrooms. Check in very easily. The keys are on the deks. And you get a code for entering the reception. The rooms are simple but big.
You have to take a ferry to come to the kastellet and this is quite expensive ( 100kr) both ways. Especially if you want to travel more than once a day. The ferry stops at 19h40. There might be one occasion later with waxholmbolaget, but you need to call in advance. We have never seen someone at the reception. Only during breakfast time there are a lot of people. After that, place looks abandoned.

Kastellet is an amazing location for fans of history. The bed and breakfast is located in a section of the old island fortress. You get a sense of what it would be like to be a soldier at the time walking by old cannons to get to your room. There is the old tower that you can climb to get a view of the harbor. It is fun to walk around the perimeter or the island outside the castle walls. The family room was well furnished and WiFi was good. Breakfast was good considering that the hotel was not that busy before the start of the summer season. The shared hallway bathrooms were fine.
We were at the castle a few weeks before the Swedish midsummer peak season and so ferry service from the mainland to the castle was limited. The limited number of ferries required careful planning of our daily schedule to get an early enough 8:50am boat to Vaxholm to then travel further to other islands like Grinda. Since there is no dinner service on the castle island, we either needed to get dinner on Vaxholm or carry take-out back on the ferry to the castle. The last ferry was 9pm. With that schedule we weren't able to visit the museums on the castle island during the day. Probably during the peak season in the summer, this would not be a problem. Overall, it was a great visit.

How often do you get to stay in a Castle? My son absolutely loved the idea of sleeping in a castle that's only reachable via a water taxi. Heaps of interesting weaponry to get hands-on with simple but delicious breakfast Vaxholm is a lovely town and a mecca if you want to hire a boat /fish. The ferry from Stockholm was surprisingly cheap
There was nothing negative about our stay...thoroughly recommend a visit

The location of the Bed and Breakfast was absolutely sensational. Neither one of us was expecting such a beautiful locale with such fascinating history.
There was no staff present during our stay, and so we were not able to speak to staff to get helpful information about boats or what time the museums would open, or beaches to visit etc, which is the only sort of complaint we have.

Just cool to live in an old castle. Well situated to explore other islands (be sure to make use of the free yellow ferries!). Good breakfast, staff were friendly and helpful.
3 years ago the little ferry to get to the island was free for guests at the bed and breakfast. It wasn't any longer, which is a hidden cost. 165kr return trip for one adult and child. Gets expensive after a while. Also, the last ferry leaves a bit early (19:40), so you have to make sure and time eating dinner with it.

Excellent location on a little island with historic castle, museum, armaments, wildlife and great views. Lots to explore and enjoy around the castle grounds. Spacious comfortabe rooms. Old world atmosphere and aromas. Fantastic breakfast which included lovely freshly baked breads.
Not that we didn't like, but be prepared for ferry or water taxi times for access to the island. Also for main meals, eat before you arrive. To be fair, you are advised about these things when you book.

The hotel setting/location was beautiful. The access to the roof offered 360 degrees of amazing views. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. When we arrived and at check out, there were no staff on hand but all the information necessary was provided for us, including the key to our room, in an envelop. The process was easy.
There were no bathromms inside the rooms. I do have to say, though, that the bathrooms were easily accessible and clean.
