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.

Ett mycket trevligt boende med god service i en vÀldigt annorlunda miljö. Rummen var rena och frÀscha likasÄ de gemensamma utrymmena. Rummen som var inredda i de gamla fÀngelsecellerna var svala och sköna, sÀngarna var i gott skick och erbjöd mig en skön sömn. Frukosten var rejÀl sÄ man stod sig gott pÄ den till middagen. Hotellet som Àr inrymt i det gamla fÀngelset inrymmer Àven ett museum frÄn tiden dÄ det var ett fÀngelse för grova brottslingar. Man ber bara om nyckeln i reception sÄ fÄr man njuta av byggnadens historia. LÀget Àr bra och centralt, bara ett par minuters gÄngvÀg över bron sÄ Àr man i centrum med nÀrhet till parker, hamnomrÄdet med utsikt mot VÀnerns inlopp till Tidan I hamnen erbjuds det mat av alla de slag frÄn de matstÀllena som ligger dÀr. 10 minuter bort ligger Àven Gamla stan som ocksÄ Àr vÀrt en tur. Med alla smÄ trÀhus och backiga smÄ grÀnder. Hit kommer jag gÀrna igen. Vad som bör nÀmnas Àr att hotellet Àr icke sÄ handikappanpassat. Avsaknad av hissar gör att det endat finns ett par rum dÀr stÄldörrarna frÄn förr Àr demonterade oc ersatta med bredare dörrar pÄ bottenplan. Vad man bör tÀnka pÄ Àr att det Àr inga luxuösa boenden.Utan att man fÄr uppleva en hÀrlig historisk miljö . Sist men inte minst , ett prisvÀrt boende med gott bemötande frÄn personalen

Intressant hotell som ligger bra till. Synd dÀremot att man missar att vara ett bra hotell nÀr rummen Àr sÄ pass smutsiga. Tror inte vi kommer hit igen.

En trevlig vistelse i fÀngelset

Har inget att klaga över. Sköna sÀngar, bra frukost. Lite dÄligt med parkering, men det löste sig. Vi var hÀr bara en natt, men kan absolut tÀnka oss att stanna flera nÀtter. Klart prisvÀrt.

Mycket enkelt men bra lÀge.

Trots att jag var medveten om att det skulle vara enkelt sÄ var rummet i enklaste laget i förhÄllande till priset. Personalen var bra och fixade bl a sÀker parkering till vÄra mc. Frukosten var ok och innehöll vad man behöver. LÀget pÄ boendet var suverÀnt, med mÀngder av restauranger etc inom 5-10 min promenad.
