Kastellet Bed & Breakfast

I and my 3 children (teenager and adults) spent one night there on a Friday in May. The view from this little island is beautiful, the room (4 single beds) would have been ok except for a broken bed and rubbish left under one bed…Shared bathroom and toilet were ok. Buffet breakfast was fantastic BUT there was no staff there. We saw nobody from 15:00 to 8:00am. They write on their website, no hen/stag party or equivalent. Next to our room was a party with teenagers (about 20 of them in different rooms but some gathered next to our room), noise and music until 3am, despite the fact that I knocked at the door twice. There is no staff there which is a safety issue, I left a message on the b&b phone and sent an email, never got a reply from the b&b in that matter. There is no police presence in the island, no boat at night so you are on your own. We barely slept 5 hours, interrupted by the noise of the toilets next to our room. I would say AVOID!

unclean rooms but lovely staff 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.

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.

We so enjoyed our stay. Nice and friendly

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.
