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.

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

Trevligt

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.
