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.

En trevlig vistelse i fängelset

Har inget att klaga över. Sköna sängar, bra frukost. Lite dåligt med parkering, men det löste sig. Vi var här bara en natt, men kan absolut tänka oss att stanna flera nätter. Klart prisvärt.

Mycket enkelt men bra läge.

Trots att jag var medveten om att det skulle vara enkelt så var rummet i enklaste laget i förhållande till priset. Personalen var bra och fixade bl a säker parkering till våra mc. Frukosten var ok och innehöll vad man behöver. Läget på boendet var suveränt, med mängder av restauranger etc inom 5-10 min promenad.

Slitet och smutsigt men bekvämt.

Smutsigt på toaletter och vid frukosten. Väldigt hög musik från en fest utanför som störde under natten. Toalett och duschrum väldigt slitna. Men sköna sängar.
