Among the very few hotels in Västervik, this one is maybe the only one that deserves attention. The scary looking building and the dark history should not fool you, it's very modern and tastefully renovated to sort of alternative hotel. The larger rooms are quite OK, not claiming much luxury but very well furnished and super comfortable. The staff is great! The breakfast is standard but very good and quite enjoyable, as well as the common spaces around. Really interesting place, absolutely deserves a visit.

Fun place, hard to check in

Fun property but getting check in info required multiple calls, emails, and eventually Hotels.com intervention. Shouldn't be that much work by the guests to confirm check in and get a door code.

Enda nackdelen var att väggen lutade vid fönstret så mörkläggningsgardinen släppte in mycket solljus i nederkant. Och eftersom fönstret var ovanför huvudsidan på sängen så fick man solen i ansiktet väldigt tidigt på morgonen.

Väldigt varmt i rummet, men en liten bordsfläkt fanns så vi kunde sova lite. FÖR mjuk säng. Fantastisk frukostbuffé, inget saknades! Möjlighet att sitta ute och käka frukost. Ganska dyrt för den lilla cellen.

Mysigt ovanligt boende, att man kunnat bevara den ursprungliga miljön av ett fängelse så bra. Frukosten är så man dånar, personalen påpasslig hela tiden och verkar ha koll på allt. Planerar återkomma, kanske redan nästa år. Ett minus var utsikten från rummet, att titta ut på en busshållplats inte så kul.
