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.

Personalet var hyggelig når en møtte på dem. Prisen var lav, men jeg kunne betalt mer for å slippe å klø i 2 dager etter oppholdet. Nå er det 2 dager siden jeg overnattet der. Lite delikat og ikke det beste renholdet. Turte ikke å spise frokost der.

Ett helt okej vandrarhem, men ingen hotellstandard förutom att frukost ingår. Frukosten sparsam, inte mycket att välja på, och inget varmt. Sköna sängar. Dålig städning i toaletter och duschutrymmen. Ingen hiss.

Rummen var små men helt okey då vi endast var där för att övernatta, sköna sängar och rent o fräscht. Saknar äggröra och bacon då endast kall frukostbuffé serverades men det som serverades var gott och fint upplagt. Trevlig personal.
