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!

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.

This website informed me that the room had its own bathroom when in fact it was communal S was the shoer. Aside from that everything was nice clean and the fact that the hotel originally was a prison added to its charm.
The restaurant had some weird sculptures of prison guards etc.

Prisvärt men spartanskt

Helt ok för priset. Ingen tv på rummet, toalett och dusch i korridoren. Lite kul att bo i en fängelsecell.

Lite kul miljö, små enkla rum med gemensamt badrum men mycket för pengarna ändå. Bra läge.
