Super nice place to stay, the room was super. - a very good experience in every way. Had a super dinner in the restaurant and the breakfast was very nice too. The only thing you have to be prepared for is the walk very much uphill from the parking to the hotel with luggage - could be difficult if you have problems lifting or walking on uneven ground.

Great place

We arrived in the evening around the time19:30. It was a very warm welcome. The dinner was excellent. The service and atmosphere was great. The room was really good. Old and modern style. The shower was fantastic and high pressure. The area speaks for it self. There is so much information everywhere for your enjoyment

Too many faults

Horribly warm room. No AC. Windows not supposed to be opened. Reception lent us a fan that did very little to help. Hardly slept at all. The bathroom/toilet was inside a frosted glass cube, which meant that privacy was not optimal. Also if you had to use the bathroom at night the whole hotel room was lit up and therefore woke your partner. The toilet didn’t seem to be designed for human anatomy. The seat was too narrow and the top lid had a deep edge that cut into your back if you tried to lean back.

Dålig skyltning. Vi var inte ensamma om att stå på fängelsemuseetes parkering och lätt förvirrade undra var själva hotellet var. Förbjudet att köra in på borggården och en brant backe upp. Man fick köra in och lasta av, men det fick man reda på först efter att man varit i receptionen och fått veta det. Personer med begränsad fysik ska kanske välja något annat. Annorlunda och trevligt boende. Den unga kvinnan som jobbade i receptionen vid vårt besök var trevlig och lösningsfokuserad.
