An interesting place

Great hotel inside an old prison. Modern but not to modern so it still has lots of character. The hallways echo a little just how it would have when it was a prison.

Cool prison hotel with great history

Super cool Hotel, its an old prison. very clean, very good breakfast, super confy beds. the doors are extreemly small since its the original doors for the prison cells. The staits in the middel of the hotel is low so you can hit your head. Rooms have very high celings. very comfy, cool history, great location.

Quite ok for the money, after all you are in a former prison with a museum feel. There were sometimes problems with the room cards, they didn't always work. Breakfast ok, parking in front of the hotel ok!

It is a prison! You can feel it, however it is cool to experience it for a night. We got to check-in right when the Front Desk was closing for the day. A but eerie inside when no-one is around and you have. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Okay-ish breakfast. Overall great for a night!

Hostel style to the max. Pros— comfy clean bed. Quiet. Room is big enough. Cons— no drinking water to be found apart from in bathrooms. Toilet down corridor was flooded. One more toilet for the floor had non functioning lock. Mega prison vibes— sad pics of ex prisoners adorn the walls. Weird. No breakfast before 8am on weekends.

Jeg å min mann overnattet 2dager,personalet var hyggelige, sengen var god å ligge i å det var rent å pent, spennende at det er ett gammelt fengsel. Frokosten var god også. Vi hadde også klart å glemme igjen noen eiendeler, da jeg ringte dem så skulle dem sende oss dette i posten uten noen kostnad. Dette må jeg si er service. Drar gjerne hit igjen en annen gang.

Rummet var rent, saknades tvål i gemensamma utrymmen och kändes orent i gemensamma duscha och toaletter. Frukosten var bra, trevlig personal. Man får vad man betalar för. Det var lite bättre än okej hela vistelsen på hotellet/vandrarhemmet :) Trevlig och fin stad!

Mycket ”budgetboende” i fd fängelseceller. Inget annat än en säng, litet bord och garderob på ”rummet”. Handfat, toalett och dusch i korridorerna. Det finns ganska många så det funkade bra. Frukosten var basic men helt ok.

Som vandrarhem + är det riktigt bra. Allt funkade, sen incheckning utan problem, god frukost (ingen varm mat på bordet men det visste vi). Gott om parkering i närheten (även gatu), nära stadens centrum. För en natt helt perfekt o gillar man vandrarhemstypen så säkert även fler nätter. Rent badrum, men delat, så det hänger mest på övriga gäster. .
