Disliked: Amenities
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.

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!
