Castanea Old Town Hostel, hotel in Vaxholm

Located in the center of Stockholm’s Old Town, this hostel is 3 minutes’ walk from the Gamla Stan Metro Station. It features a communal, fully equipped kitchen, along with bright, fresh rooms.

Superb location in the heart of Gamla Stan - 3 minute walk to the main plaza Stortorget. You can have the whole plaza (and Gamla Stan!) to yourself in the early morning or late night; 8 min walk to Gamla Stan Subway Station. The hostel has two common spaces with lots of tables and seating. Nice kitchen with stove, frig. Friendly, helpful staff as well. Bathrooms are soooo clean!! My roomies were great, too; fun and considerate. Definitely one of my favorite places I stayed at during my one month traveling in Scandinavia. (p.s. The other one is Giljanes Hostel in the Faroe Islands!).

Notholmen, Tyresö, hotel in Vaxholm

Located just 2133 feet from Tyresö Palace, Notholmen, Tyresö offers pet-friendly accommodations in Tyresö. Tyresta National Park and main entrance is 13 mi away.

Beautiful location, lot's of wildlife and beautiful natural habitat. The cafe had delicious offerings. The staff was extremely accommodating once we realized that the property did not meet our needs and needed to cut short our stay. I recommend for people to stay here when they are looking for a quiet getaway to nature, but still want a bed and access to bathrooms in another building, as long as you are packing light and can carry your bags down half a mile down a gravel road.

    Beautiful old hotel, great location in Vaxholm harbour. Lots of Swedish history right in the middle of the Stockholm archipelago. Good food in the restaurant, nice atmosphere. Good but small breakfast, enough selection. Wonderful views from the restaurant and bar area.

    Great views, good breakfast, comfortable rooms. The hotel is in a great location to relax on the peaceful island of Vaxholm, and close to the ferry terminal to travel into Stockholm (takes about 1 hour).

    The owners were very friendly and nice. Before coming there they called to tell us about the property and once we arrived they made sure we had a good time. The apartment is a small studio that has everything that you need, including a lot of kitchen utilities. The interior is lovely and fits the atmosphere. Great location on the island and very close to the water :)
